"What really matters is how you live, not how you die."
this is exactly what my faith in christianity is about - at it's core it's the thing Jesus sought to bring. We tend to focus on the Crucifixion and the "eternal life" side of things way too much. Personally, I find it hard to believe that jesus has only eternal life to offer nothing to offer me on how to live. the jesus who only gives me something after death to look forward to isn't much good to me while I'm alive
Too bad people worship one of the greatest "humanitarians" of all time (the dude healed blind people after all!) and claim to "follow him" but spend all their time complaining about abortion, gays and democrats. I'm not sure jesus would be a Christian today...
