I'm curious how Christians believe only they are saved ... And in the same breath believe that anyone who doesn't isn't saved ...


But somehow ignore the convenient fact that billions of people live where Christianity is almost non existent ...

More than two thirds of the world will be sent to damnation . Lots of which will never hear of Christianity or will never be taught it... But those lucky ones born into Christian families must just be loved a lot more by Jesus

My daughter will be taught the views of religion and will be free to practice any religion she chooses or non if she chooses so ... Or to be spiritual.

My concerns exist in reality, where we live ...

I'd love if she had an eternal soul and would live forever ... But I'm not willing to ignore logic and reason to believe it

...you have ignored logic and sound reasoning your entire adult life with all that conspiracy nonsense yet you somehow think you possess and practice them when it comes to religion...think about it .

What do you make of the story where God stops the sun in the sky? It sounds as if God doesn't know the sun doesn't move through the sky but the Earth rotates.

...here's an idea...enter the appropriate citation into the search engine of your choice and check half a dozen or so interpretations of that Scripture .

This is the obvious answer and point of bringing it up. It's a story with an act of God that doesn't make sense given what we now know.
