We do not like the tone of the entry, nor do we agree with rabidly quoting scripture to make a point. You are read as aggressive, obnxious, intrusive, and forcing things on people. We will not tolerate your intolerance.
Christianity is not "the"center of the universe.
If anything, you turn off people. but, hey, keep it up! That is surely a great way to have people investigate the truth all by themselves without being brainbwashed, given false hopes, and expected to have blind faith.
Where has your Jesus been for 2,000 plus years. The world was supposed to end when St. Paul was preaching to the Corinthians.
Where was your beloved Jesus and the Holy Sprit on September 11th. Was Jesus to busy to come to NYC?
And you talk about being saved? Save yourself.
Here, try these:

Got the picture? We do not need Hell, Fire, Brimstone. We do not need "hope"as it is coupled with "despair".
Your notions of beleif indicate how much doubt you also are filled with.
The problem is you do not know.
Try reality. The truth is there.
And try having a modicum of respect for others who might not see things the way you do.
Get it? Got it? Good!

At least Jesus is alive, better then some old fat dead man!
You may not like the truth but you have been told!

What a very unkind thing to say.
Jesus died. It does not mean he did not do good. It is people like you that call yourselves "Christian" but how much evidence is there to convict you of such! ?
And the if you knew anything about the Buddha, he was not fat. Too bad you do not have the education under your belt to realize that the "fat guy" in the Chinese restaurant is not even the Buddha.
You did not tell me any truth. It is conventional truth perhaps. And that is OK.
When you can be scientific (and I do not mean the definition you are probably thinking of for the word scientific!), when you can discuss things without resorting to ad hominem attacks; when you can be open to dialogue, perhaps then we can share ideas.
But I doubt you are interested.
Please refrain from harassing me or my staff. If you do so, I will report you to the authorities.
Remember something, you prevailed upon us. We merely responded.

I would hate to burst your bubble but Jesus is alive!
Problem is that satan has you blinded to that truth!
And to finish up I dare you answer this!

Holy Spirit,
I ask thee to search
my heart on this day,
and reveal to me
by your power
the truth
Amen!

When was the last time you said the Lord's name (GD) in vain?
Have you ever stole anything in your entire life?
Do you desire something that does not belong to you {covet}?
What about Cussing, Lying, Hating, Cheating or just plain simple Lust?
If you break any part of the law, you are guilty of breaking it all!!!!!

As it is written,
For whosoever shall keep the whole law,
and yet offend in any one point, he is guilty of all.

As it is written,
there is none righteous, no, not one
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God 

What is the cost of your deeds?
Who knowing the judgment of God,
that they which commit such things are worthy of death,
not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

The Way Out of the Darkness
As it is written,
For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the
gift of God:
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he
saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost 

How Does Jesus save, what about all the other religions in the world?

As it is written,
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under
heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved...
 
Jesus basically came up with the phrase
"Keep it simple stupid",
how much easier can it get?

Quick study
Grace* is the "unmerited" favor of God. That means we do not deserve it and can
do nothing to ever deserve it. Grace is receiving goodness from God because God
is good, not because I'm good.
Faith* is more than just believing in God, But trusting God. Knowing that
Christ's payment for my sin was sufficient. Believing that he died for me, and
on the third day, He rose again. Just as he promised he would.
Not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God.* Gifts cannot be earned or they become
wages. The moment you try to deserve the free gift of God, it becomes something
you are trying to earn. Gifts are to be accepted with thanksgiving and
gratitude.
Not of works;* If you have been trying to become worthy of Gods grace through
works, STOP. Only through Faith in the blood of Jesus will you be saved. As a
new creation in Christ, (born again of the spirit), God will give you the
opportunity to join him in HIS work. And HE will receive all the glory and
praise. "so no man can boast in himself."

Dear Friend,
If you want a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and you want to be sure
that you are saved, and that you will go to heaven when you die,
Pray this prayer to God, in your own words and really mean it with all of your
heart,

Dear Lord Jesus,
I admit honestly that
I am a sinner,
Please forgive me
Of all my sins
and come into my heart
and change me forever.
Thank you Jesus
for taking my sins
upon yourself  and
dying on that cross
just for me.
Be forever,
My Personal
Lord and Savior.
Fill me with your
Holy Spirit
and your endless
Love.
Thank you for saving me
I Love you
Amen

Hindu worldview conceives of these three purposes to human life:

religion,               or "dharma,"
worldly success, or "artha,"
pleasure,            or "kama."

Sex is a part of life that is on a par with religion," Doniger said.
And according to Hindu belief, she added,
"something is the matter with you if you neglect any of these."

What does Jesus say about these 3?
