" If you believe what you like in the gospel, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself....Augustine"

I tend to agree with that, as you seem to. However, I take this to be more than sufficient reason to throw the entire gospel in the trash, as it certainly fails horribly as any moral authority. Don't become like the murderers of the U.N. workers and mindlessly follow the wicked works of sick ancient men, use your reason!

If you want to be a "free agent" in the universe that's your choice. While you speak of Islam in the broad sense, you've completely missed the point about the quote. I wont debate your misguided view of the gospel, but as Bob Dylan
so eloquently sang in his song "you gotta serve somebody" you make your choice by default.

Have to admit, I expected a harsher response. I think I got the point of the quote, but felt I could provide a different angle on it.
Now, Bob Dylan, perhaps his lyrics were God given

My point was that the gospel as reference is often twisted, perhaps as twisted as the source you used regarding global warming

Somebody's going to be demanding a refund of their money, since they aren't getting the answer they wanted...

A friend of mine is a Gnostic, some of what he's been showing to me via video info is interesting, especially regarding our level of consciousness

What I find rather offensive in everyday conversation is the idea tha God would play favorites with different countries or individuals.

Whether or not I pray for the Japanese survivors can not, and should not, have any effect on what God does from this point forward.

Why should God bless America anymore than another country? God Bless America is an arrogant, selfish request.

Again, I agree but that is the messengers not the message. Folks always want to believe they are the "chosen ones" rather than accept that we are ALL children of God/Allah/The One or whatever name one uses.

or maybe just the children of our Parents?

The concept of hell alone makes me not be able to believe in any of that stuff. Its a ridiculous concept. The fact that someone like Gandhi could burn in eternal hell because he didnt accept the Lord Jesus Christ as his savior is f-ing crazy.

I think when you die you are just plain dead, and that is too difficult of a concept for people to grasp so they believe in heaven.
