    I thought this was a great interview with Rick Warren. He wrote the Purpose Driven Life.

    Seems pretty wacky to me.

    Imagine you decide to set up a video game called Existence. Now, in the first 30 seconds to 90 seconds people start the game, everything they do will decide how they will play that game for the next 10,000 years. You fuck it up, and the next 10,000 years you are stuck on fucking Pong, but if you do it right you get to play the most orgasmic game ever created.

    Add into that that the vast majority of people who play your game never even get to read the rules, and have no clue that the first 90 seconds matter so much. And many of them have to play on a fucked up computer system because they're broke, while others are trying to play the game right after getting sexually molested, having the crap knocked out of them, etc. Some only get to play the game for 1 or 2 or 5 seconds before they are snuffed out for no damned good reason.

    Think you'd get many good reviews on Amazon? I guess you'd be considered a genius by the people who aced the first 90 seconds. They'd extol the virtues of all the orgasmic gaming to no end.

    Everybody else would consider you a real asshole. What a dumbass way to run a universe.

    So it's "dangerous" to believe in God and heaven, and to model your life on Christian principles???

    Yeah, sounds extremely dangerous, alright. We better enact some kind of federal legislation to outlaw these radical Christians who pose such a threat to our society!!!!

    How so?

    Since the existance of God is proven, the prophecy of scripture 100% proven (thus far), documented miracles (mostly from the "biblical times"), documented proof of the life of Christ... is all proven, what makes religion so dangerous. Because a few frauds "use" religion for their personal gain and perversities? I see far more in every avenue of life- it's human nature.

    But seriously, I'd like your thoughts on the danger of religion.

    Are you speaking of fundamental Islamics? The ones who murder for the sake of murder (to the point they murder other Islamics) and supress women? Well, we see similar things in all aspects of life.
