I didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm just saying, the overall presentation comes across as very cult-like, sort of like you're all parroting the same exact phrases and manner of speaking/writing. I was just trying to explain to you what I think turns a lot of people off to that sort of attempt to persuade. I appreciate the message of love and I have a lot of respect for Christians who use the religion that way, like my mother for example. At its core it's a beautiful message although I believe heaven and hell are social control constructs. I like to listen to the words of Jesus from the New Testament, radical love and acceptance and helping others, and I agree with most everything that was written as his words. Especially as I investigate the Gnostic Christian texts, which were written the closest to his actual lifetime (and are not included in the Bible).
But yeah it's really a shame that some people/leaders have perverted the message and caused such suffering. Many people who are not Christian only see or focus on the bad side of the religion (any religion has a bad side, and it's brought about by people in power perverting it for their own purposes, like the Inquisition, or European imperialism).
