I love you and want you to be happy, so I will pray to a god or goddess that I relate to for your "salvation" from your sins of only believing in Jesus for salvation.
Unfortunately, I have many people in my life praying for me to return to Jesus. I don't want to, and I didn't make the decision lightly. I have thought long and hard and had a tough time figuring it out.

Wow. This thread went downhill really quick.
I'll reliterate my previous point.
Don't be a dumb sheep Christian.
Be a Christian with some knowledge, some attentiveness, and try to pertain to the Fruits of the Spirit.
Also, some ability to use proper grammar and spelling would be appreciated, as to lessen the poor outlook on the Followers and our intellect.
Umm...you may want to follow your own advice ...it's "reiterate".

I've yet to see any Christians on this forum hate anyone....
(actually, I have seen one or two "hellfire and brimstone" types here, which is bordering on hate, but I think they say the things they do out of love)

You're right,
If I saw your pathetic heathen butt walking down the st with no clothes and no food,
I would spit on you and tell you you're going to hell,
and then I would laugh maniacllay,
Because I am an evil, evil Christian!

Hope allows people to live on for their God, when all they'd rather do is take some pills and go to sleep and never wake up again.
Well I see him on the TV
Preachin' 'bout the promise lands
He tells me believe in Jesus
Steals the money from my hands
Some say he was a good man
Lord I think he sinned, yeah
Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
In a time I don't remember
In a war he can't forget
He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there
Cause I never meant the things I did"
Chorus:
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
My best friend died a lonely man
In some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
And they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down and cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror, mirror on the wall
Sees my smile it fades again
Chorus
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
Road you gotta take me home
Solo
I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
That used to read JESUS SAVES
A mile away live the rich folks
And I see how they're living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich drinkin' from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder
Why so many lose, and so few win

You can argue till your blue in the face,
it doesn't make the One God stop existing,
nor does it make the Adversary cease to exist,
nor does it make any of the spiritual created beings cease to exist,
nor does it change any well-grounded Christians opinions,
nor does it make any of your pixies, goddesses, or other things your imagination has conjured up, exist
