If that kind of thing appeals to you have it. To me it's savage, and primitive, and stinks to high heaven.

You too, not savage but Love, no everlasting, maybe the first but not the second.

It sounds sweet. For God so loved the world he sent his only Son to die on the cross as a Blood sacrifice. It's all so VooDoo. Sling a chicken round your head, and then slit it's throat, and light some black candles while your at it. It's the spooky world of religion.

voodoo; juju: a charm superstitiously believed to embody magical powers
(Haiti) followers of a religion that involves witchcraft and animistic deities
bewitch by or as if by a voodoo.

There's nothing "spooky" about it, you either Love God or you don't.

I think a more mature person might take out some good volume on Theology and look up such theological themes as:

Redemption

Justification

Reconciliation

Atonement

Substitution

He would find out what these matters mean in the Christian faith. Even if he is not convinced this would be a more mature way to handle it.

The Internet attacts a kind of superficiality of people who really don't want to know too much. Rather to voice their biases in short little diatribes is more fun.

Why dont I believe in hell? Because its not real. Purgatory can seem like an awful long time, but its not for eternity.

How do you judge who is worthy and who isn't worth taking a risk? (Or what is or what isn't?) Just take the next risk that comes along, however far-fatched any possilble good results may seem. See what happens. Whats the worst that could happen, your physical body may die? Bah!

There is a possibility to learn something.

Well I guess it depends on the person as to what is worth the risk. For some, falling in love with them is reason enough to take a risk on someone or something they love. For others, love is not worth the risk. In addition, people often have a history in which we can judge them to be worthy of taking a risk on.

Dont judge. Dont fret, Just go with the next proposal that comes along. Everyone is a bhudda. Your good intentions will get you through. God wont dissapoint.

This reminds me of a well known Christian passage which states that all things work together for good, but then it adds, to them that love God and are called according to his purpose. Of course, the implication here is that not all things work together for good, because not everyone loves God nor are called according to his purpose. In fact, even having "good intensions" are not enough. Have you ever heard that the path to hell is paved with good intensions? There is truth in that proverb whether you are religious or not.
