@xlioilx youre kinda right bro. jesus was a real person and he totally shot the pharisees down for loving religion more than loving God. Its all about knowing God and living in relationship with Jesus, who is the only person in history that conquered death and rose from the grave and took the penalty for your sins. Hell is real brah, you gotta get to know Jesus; He is real too and you cant deny it, but you have to settle with whether or not he was who he said he was. ask yourself: was he God?

actually, xlioilx, with christ I feel freer than I did when society mentally enslaved me. i am free from hardened accusatory opinions like your own. try and convince yourself that you're not a slave to the societal world and it's governments. when is the last time you were truly happy?
