35. This is my number one gripe with Christianity
Edited on Thu Dec-01-05 11:07 AM by OnionPatch
as it is practiced by so many. I consider myself a Christian but I just can't believe this either. It doesn't make any sense for an all-loving God to behave this way. All the translations and parts cut out of the Bible throughout history....there's no way one can know for certain what Jesus really meant. I reject this idea that only Christians go to Heaven. What makes more sense to me is that Jesus meant that the path to Heaven was not so much through *him* but through what he was teaching: Love.

I took my daughter out of a religious pre-school when I found out that they were teaching this to the kids. I told them why too and they just looked at me slack-jawed.
