I'd go so far to say that you can talk your self blue in the face about the grace of your god but that you don't really understand your own religion,......christians are supposed to be actively avoiding sin, "how can we live in it any longer" Christians are supposed to set the example to non believers, sure you are a sinner saved by grace but it also says "grace without works are dead". It can be a nice little mind fuck trying to validate the grace versus works debate. It's not really a debate as you are only saved by christs sacrifice (in the christian belief), and it's all grace but the general idea is if you really believed that you would be trying to eradicating sin from your life.

If you really believe that you can sin all you want and are still saved by grace this is where I actually start finding your believe extremely fucking offensive, because you're basically saying you could cheat, murder, steal, rape, molest whoever/whatever you wanted and you'd be saved and someone else would go to hell simply by being a Hindu or Buddhist. I think the vast majority of people that consider themselves Christians believe that are saved no matter what they do.



Your understanding of 'Christianity' seems limited to fundamentalist Baptist teaching. None of what you've said applies to Catholic or most Protestant theology.

Once again, you don't have enough background in the subject to discuss the matter knowledgeably. Hell, I don't either, but I know enough to know that you are full of shit. Please STFU with your typical 'internet intellectual' prattle (with the typical soft spot for Buddhism). This is the kind of auto didactic garbage that chokes up every forum.





Please oh pleeeeeeeeease point out any exact flaws in anything I've written...limited to baptist teachings? It's limited to actual biblical teachings. How much of the bible have you read? And your very statement proves my point....most christians don't know jackshit about their own book, and have probably read maybe %2 of it.
I don't believe I ever once mentioned a single thing one way or the other about Buddhism except in using the example that the christian belief would automatically condemn one to hell. If you think I don't put enough research into the issue do you think the average americanized christian puts even 1/20th the amount of thought process into this?.............You're being extremely disingenuous if you think most people that call themselves "christians" put even that amount of effort into researching their own beliefs but you missed that point entirely.
