The human condition is like being a kid with amnesia in a room full of guys claiming to be your dad, and if you don’t know which guy is your dad you go to hell.

it's a matter of faith...

my journey towards the Catholic faith began simply... i wandered into a cathedral when i was young... it is now known as CHIJMES...

just sat at the pews and found this overwhelming sense of peace in there...

as i learnt more about the faith albeit through a Methodist school i was in, i was drawn more and more to the church...

and years down the line, i joined a RCIA group at my current church and i'm happily a Catholic since then Wink

i'm sure each have their own reasons and calling from a higher power... each just needs to listen to the little voice inside of them Very Happy

while i do agree with you somewhat,
err.
whats the point of this?

i never understood that theory about MUST CHOOSE CORRECT RELIGION OR BE CONDEMNED FOREVER!!!!!!!

what kind of a god of love is that?
oxymoronic..

An Eternal Now SG

what if our inner voices tell us that christianity is not the right religion? then we are going to hell is that fair?

in a sense, we don’t get to choose, its God who chosed us actually.

An Eternal Now SG

and we’re the ones going to suffer for eternity in hell?

laurence82 SG

Yeah, its only our individual faith. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' religion.

I cant imagine we take every step of our life worrying if our way is right or wrong. Life is what you make full use of, not just worrying about stuff that is not really relevant.

Why people come up with phrases like 'sai weng shi ma yan zhi fei fu' or the 'good or bad story'? We cant predict our future, and see if our steps are beneficial or of dire consequences to us.

Humans dont have the ability to understand the whole cosmic world, or even to know it. We just have to cherish every moment in our life.

In anyway, besides religion, there are so much debates even about simple matters or things such as coffee. Within the last few years, seen so many research on whether coffee is good for health. Seriously cant be bothered and just drink my cuppa every morning... Laughing

RaTtY81 SG

Some of these fathers say tat u do not need to acknowledge him. As long as u do good, he is satisfied. Some other force u to acknowledge him, otherwise he is gonna throw u into the lakes of hell... wat to do... wat to do...

The best way is to question them and see if he is more likely to be true or not lor... Tat will be something most people will have done in tat situation isn't it ?

burntan SG

Given that the situation is like that….everyone have the equal chance to choose the correct father….if you choose the wrong one, then just take it as you are unlucky lor…

stupidissmart SG

Do u think it is fair ?

A chinese saying goes, "If u do not know, u r not guilty of a crime" isn't it ? (why am I using tat again Mr. Green )

If you sincerely feel that christianity or Jesus is not God or not the real God or not the real religion, SERIOUSLY, then why should what the BIBLE or JESUS said matter to you? Since you dun believe in them, why whould what they say matter to you?

Thus, it is only fair that I say, for you to question the validity of what Jesus or Bible said, the assumption is that you think what Jesus or the bible says is true, thats why you wanna challenge. Because if you think that Jesus is not true, why should it matter to you what he says.
