    Seems it's the simple things you have trouble with!!
    ''Our culture has accepted two huge lies: The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear them or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.''

    I got a chuckle out of a comment made about the OP. Seems West Wing used this diatribe on the show, as a put down by the President of a stuffed shirt character who represented Laura Schlessinger. The character was left speechless, but the comment was made that the REAL Dr. Laura, an Orthodox Jew, would have eaten him alive!!!

    Which leads me to wonder, isn't this anti-semitic??

    Yes, I am aware of what you say, of course.
    SO context defines what God we are talking about. And the context is a thread, begun by yourself that assumes that we are talking about the God of the Torah, the Old Testament, who is the God that the Christians worship. The New Testament teaches that you cannot have THAT God without faith in Jesus Christ.

    Had you started this thread with talk about Vishnu or Ra or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I might have modified my comment accordingly.
    The heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart.
