MoonSpirit - I think the lesson may be that we all get lazy sometimes
A little prompting is occassionally needed to cure one of their lethargy. Not mention that when someone asks; two important issues are covered and put to rest immediately. It is not likely that I will suffer a tersely worded request to remove their name from such a blog as this in the future . . . and it is a fair assumption that the person making the request more or less gets the drift of my postings.

Ciel, a Hearty Welcome to the Chosen Ones! The “Laws of Blogit” permit Gome to only allow 144,000 of us into this Inner Circle. I waited, and I suspect you may have waited as well, to be selected as one of the Chosen, however, sometimes we have to be bold and ask for Grace. I too asked that I be added to this group and Gome in his benevolence, did so. There’s an important lesson to be learned there. Once again, WELCOME! MoonSpirit

MoonSpirit - it's the thought that counts
It's funny when you think about it, logic for those who haven't learned their gazintas. The notion of having it right becomes particularly humorous when it is being expoused by someone from one of the protestant versions of Christianity. Not that it isn't funny when being touted as making any kind of sense by catholics or members of other religions but prostestant Christians have only been around for a few centuries. They represent an insignificant segment of mankind; when viewed within the historical context of the existence of our species. Somewhere near 100 billion people have been born onto this planet and some bible thumping knucklehead wants to tell me that only the few million from their little group can waltz through the pearly gates? As you say, they will begrudgingly concede that a few other Christian religions down the road "might" make it as well. . . but only because their beliefs are all virtually indistinguishable.

While the only Christians who are going to make it to Heaven are the ones belonging to the denomination/congregation that actually got it ‘right, meaning whatever denomination/congregation the believer belongs to, most will grudgingly concede that their good brothers down the road at some sister church will also go to Heaven even though they didn’t get as much right as did the believer. (Am I making sense? As you know each believer thinks only members of ‘his’ church are the ‘true’ Christians but concede that a few other Christians may make it too.) Anyway, how about a follow up to ‘Left Behind’? I suggest we call it ‘Right Behind’. So, when the True Believers go to Heaven, then the other poor suckers who are not as smart but, who will still make it in, will be ‘right behind’? There’s a whole new marketing ploy here. “Don’t be Left Behind. If you’re not a ‘True Believer’ you can still be ‘Right Behind’.” 
My idea pretty much sucks doesn’t it.?
