Claudio,

>>That is a viewpoint, as it is totally subjective on how to save your soul. Many different religions and diffferent flavours of the same religion have different viewpoints on how to save your soul. Personally I think the only way to save your soul is to live in peace with your self (soul). whether or not using 'religion' is not a factor IMO, though religion could be a guideline, safety net or help in these cases. OTOH, religion is no guarrantee to save your soul, if you don't live in peace.

>Sure.. Feel free to believe in anything that your mind says so.. What any christian (as me) will try to do here is SHARE the transformation of life that God causes.. Nice life in peace.. the CERTAINTY that God is with us. and the CERTAINTY of eternal life..

There is a fine line between SHARE and FORCE. In the past it has been forced too many times. And still this a norm. Too many times children are FORCED into religion withouth actually understanding and accepting it. You CANNOT and SHOULD NOT force religion. It has to come from within, not from outside. This happened in Holland until about 5 decades ago. But then people were getting fed up with the DOCTRINE and may people moved away from the church because they felt beeing treated like dumb cattle withouth a mind beeing moved arround whereever rome wanted them to go.

>No trying to revert any other lifestyle.. Even if the decision was to follow mickey, donald, santa or any other one..

Interesting, you call it a lifestyle..... I actually agree with that terminology: Practising any religion (and any flavours of it) is a lifestyle.

>>>If you get a deep inside on the definition of a christianity you'll discover there is no problem with the sinners.. The sinner is loved.. The problem is on the sin ONLY..

>>Don't quite understand the latter.

Actually the bible is a collection of stories on which can be interpretated in many ways. None of those intepretations is actually is more right than another. There is no one consistency. It should function to tell us morality and the history of it through time.

Some take parts of the bible to 'prove' their intepretation of the bible is the right one. You CANNOT prove anything with what is written in the bible. It is not a science book. If you want to have prove for any wacko believe you have, there is no doubt you'll find a paragraph in the bible to support your view. However it does not make you right.

Walter,
