    I watched the video at the beginning. All it shows is that many different cultures have beleived in a God. Just because they have different names for that God does not mean they are not the same God. We as a people have a tendency to make God what we want him to be, therefore changing things here and there to make things more pleasing to us. If many forms of christianity truely beleived the bible as they say they do, there religions and practices would be considerably different than they are now.

    I think many people do not beleive in God because they are afraid of the consequences they will have to face.

    God speaks symbolically. In the bible Jesus often spoke in parables.

    Christianity has been around since the beginning of this earth making it the first and longest lasting religion. When this earth was created, God (The Father) already knew he would send his Only Begotten (Jesus) to the earth to sacrifice his life for the world. This is the reason for the sacrifices of animals before the time of Jesus. It was symbolic. You sacrified the firstling of your flocks. The reason this is not done anymore is because it doesn't need to be. Jesus has already fulfilled that task.

    I also beleive the fire and brimstone is symbolically speaking. You will not literally be in a place of fire an brimstone, but it will seem as such to you because of the lack of light (presence of God). No unclean thing can be in the presence of God. So the whaling, nashing of teeth, etc. will be caused by our own aguish created by ourselves for knowing what we could have had but chose not to receive it.

    God is just and will give everyone a fair chance. If not given that chance in this life you will receive that chance after this life.

    Last, but definitely not least. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He does not change.

    One more thing, I beleive we are NOT born evil or sinners. This is the reason Jesus taught we must become as children, or in other words innocent. I beleive we will be punished for our own sins and not for Adams transgression.
