reveals they are incorrect, esp. considering Jesus Christ was the "New Convenant" with mankind, thus rendering the Old Testament or the Laws of Moses somewhat irrelevant as the way to enter Heaven becaue Jesus said salvation and the entrance to Heaven was only obtained through acceptance of Him as a person's saviour.

my beef is when christians pass judgement on others, when it's really not their place.. I think that's where Christians get a bad rep. It's not so much what God has said, or what he's going to do, it's man saying "god is sending you to hell because you did this". I would never (seriously) claim to know what God is going to do. Religion is a very personal thing and it's none of my business. I've never been that "pushy" christian saying "you better beleive this or you will burn in hell for eternity".

that was more or less what I was saying
