Listen.  You can have whatever opinions you want.  Personnally, I am a

Christian and I am sorry that you feel the way you do.  Obviously, the

wrong people have pushed your wrong buttons. Ask yourself this?  Have

you ever read the bible.  If you have, then you know that nowhere in it

does Jesus say, "I will return in the year 2000." He only talked of the

signs that would preceed his return.  And if you could wake up and smell

the coffee, you would see that those signs are occurring now. 

        I will agree with you that religion may have become annoying and much

too pushy throughout history.  No one likes to be pushed into rituals

and told what to believe in.  People have been taking the wrong

approach. The key thing to remember is that Christianity is not a

"religion."  I can't stand the word religion in itself.  It represents

all the wrong things - like meaningless rituals and statues.  Some of

the Christian "divisions" are even haywire.  (Once you leave a Jahova

Witness community, they shun you forever).  That is not the love that

Jesus represents.  What you have to tell yourself is that Christianity

is not a religion, it is a faith.  It is believing that there is a God,

that he created you through your parents, that you are a sinner, that

God sent Jesus here to die on the cross for your sins, and that you must

believe in him and recieve Jesus into your heart and into your life in

order to go to heaven when you die. 

        If you know nothing, know this, Jesus does love, nomatter how you talk

against him and you don't have to be perfect to receive him.  You don't

get clean to take a bath, you take a bath to get clean.  God does want

to have a personal relationship with you.  But you can only have this

relationship through Jesus.  So I hope you recieve Christ into your life

because he loves you and he will clean you naturally.
