1.) There IS no correct way to "worship." I believe there's a correct way to BELIEVE, but Rissa...you have GOT to understand this. If God gave us personalities, then certainly we all don't have to WORSHIP Him the same way. The idea is that we're worshiping him. Believing in him is not the same thing as worshiping. 2.) Don't believe everything you read. I know you're probably like "WHAT?! But YOU do!" No, I don't. The Bible's theory on when the earth was created WASN'T 6,000 years ago. I don't know where the HELL you got that... Seriously. I have this idea that you don't read the Bible...that you merely hear what others SAY about it (regardless of HOW "doctor-ish" and "learned" they are) and believe it just because you're alREADY biased against the Bible. Books ARE biased, Rissa. ALL of them. Christian and non. They are ALL BIASED. And you can say I don't read YOURbooks but you don't read MINE either. 3.) God is NOT NOT NOT "religion." God created morals in us, not effing "religion" because "religion" is human-made. 3.) God will exist whether you believe it or not. I know that sounds dumb and obvious...but seriously. It's a good point. You can't go to Hell if it doesn't exist, but you can if it does. What good does THAT argument do? 4.) You're going to hate me for this one, but you know NOTHING about the Christian God, Rissa. You can't find things out from people who AREN'T Christians about the Christian God. Seriously. Not that all CHRISTIANS know what they're talking about...but honestly. You really have no clue. I can tell you have no clue. And maybe I have no clue about what YOU'RE talking about. I accept that maybe that's true. But seriously. You want to know what the Christian God is like? You will HAVE to delve MUCH deeper than this...
