I don't believe in the xian god, and even if it did exist, the last thing I'd do is worship it (won't go into what I would do, it tends to upset Russ).



As in: What afterlife? When you die you die. No sleeping, no heaven, in the ground awaiting judgment day when you'll be brought back to life and then slaughtered again if you don't cut the mustard. Those who do make it will have all their bad experiences removed from their minds (which always reminds me of that great Kirk speach from ST5 "I need my pain"), and they'll be perfect humans, so anyone who's infertile will be able to have kids, anyone with Parkinsons will be cured, halleluja, what a great way to gather more followers (like my old boss who's wife was infertile, or a friend's dad who believed if he was a good JW his late dad would get the benefit and come back - it's things like that which make me mad at humankind).
Oh and 144000 (hebrew slang for a large number) will spend eternity in heaven.



It does when you start involving me in your beliefs. Keep it to yourself, show a little respect.
The bible gives plenty of evidence for not being a loving god though.

But the op was telling his followers to respect your views and said God has love for you. That does not make a difference to you does it? why is it so upsetting? Im not upset that you do not believe what I do. I am not in the slightest way upset that you may think me foolish for my beliefs. Your thoughts on the matter make no difference to me so why does mine or the Archbishops on you?
