You Can Fake It All

[KeptByTheWord]

Wow... isn't this a hot thread! Was outside enjoying the sunshine, while things were heating up in here.

Honestly... n David... can't you just admit that religion/salvation can be faked? Prax... good to see that you acknowledge this.

Regardless of what org it happens in.... the point of the thread is this... what causes people to fake their religion? What causes them to adopt an outward set of rules, and whatever else is required, in order to feel like they are being saved?

What makes one org's rules better, or more salvational than another's?

And... to throw in a monkey wrench here to the discussion, I would like to add this. I believe the real reason that causes people to fake their religion, or salvation is because they are scared of going to hell, and yet, don't really want to die out to sin, and self in their life. So, their flesh seeks an alternative.... which is to fake it, and convince yourself that you're "in", and that you're going to heaven...

People fake their religion because they don't want to go to hell, and because it is a social status and standing that they want to keep both here in this life, and in the life to come.

My personal opinion on the matter....
