Well, I'm not going to change your mind but it does make me sad, that you are living your life out of fear rather than love and you are basically judging people based on their beliefs rather than their actions.

I'm not judging anyone...at least, I try my best not to. Lets just put it this way...everything I have said, for the most part...I try to apply to my OWN life. Its what feels right for me. I would never brow-beat someone into believing something.
And defines a "good" man? A married man with 2 children may provide for them, put them thru school...put food on the table...and yet it he betrays his friends and lies to his wife...where is the distinction? Who draws that line?
I think any person of faith (of any faith) could appreciate that. I dont live my life out of fear...and in that sense you have judged me too. I in fact, feel a little fear is a good thing. Fear of your parents...fear of your king...fear of your God...And by fear I mean a deep rooted honour/respect.
