I agree, but there an issue.
How are folks supposed to believe something they cannot prove. With the metality of folks like those that visit here, things need validating or proof. However, proof would ruin the plan. For example, I installed a webcam security system for the firehouse where I volunteer. Theft and others evils have stopped. Why? Because they know that the cameras are there. Now I could not use this system to find out who would have the potential of stealing, because since the cameras are known, no one will steal in front of them. Now suppose I installed hidden cameras, I mean so hidden that there was no proof they existed. Now I could easily find those that are not trustworthy and eventually end up with a very honest firehouse.
Our life is a test. If we decide to believe, then He will see if we can be trusted to live in His world. If we decide not to believe, we have excercised our freedom of choice that He gave us and waive our chances.
I am glad that I believe.

All I gotta say is, how would you feel if I made a huge post about Antichristians, and telling everyone that Jesus was just a man, and man created Christ from Jesus' teachings. God was created when humans became conscious, thus God was created by man. The messages from 'God' were just the collective conscience at work trying to resolve issues, or were the dilusions of a person who had been cut off from the rest of society long enough that he needed companionship, so he created a 'watcher' and even heard voices. Maybe Moses was just freaking looney! I mean, c'mon... you people who call yourselves 'christians' worship the image of some king or bishop or whatever, and think he is Christ! If I remember right, didn't God tell one of his loonies to write down that anyone who worships an image other than himself or the TRUE image of Christ would go straight to hell, do not pass go, do not collect eternal life?
What is the true mark of the beast, found on the forhead or right hand of man? The rosary, of course!
Now for some good ol' advertising, just like you did:
No Hope for the Christian Lie!
NOTE: What I said above is probably not on the site I listed... just figured I'd post an opposition. Gotta keep peeps on their toes, see?
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home.

I don't need Jesus Christ and I will not accept him as my savior.
God is the only one who can grant someone salvation and I and only I am responsible for my sins.
A man 2,000 years ago didn't die for my sins. I will die for my sins and because of my sins because I am the only one responsible for my sins.
