The cool part is that God set the rules and He said if I believe in Jesus Christ, my sins are forgiven. I don't use that as a license to sin but I am comforted that He forgives me even when I screw up. I do find it humorous that atheist are quick to tell me how I should behave as a Christian (not referring to you).
Side note: There is a humorous (but not scriptural) saying that with some people "if you slapped them God would say 'amen' ".

I think that God has a sense of humor. Something a lot of Christians dont seem to believe. I think that God would laugh his ass off about there being too many Christians and not enough Lions. If he's omnipotent, jokes truly dont offend him. He'd just say.. good one...
People taking faith too seriously leads to hate and violence. Thats part of the reason why I left the Catholic church as a teen. I consider myself agnostic but like a lot of Buddhist ideas. (Are you aware your avatar logo is also a Dharma wheel?)
Perhaps try being a bit open minded and come to Portland sometime? Beer is on me. We have a lot of really awesome places and things that Fox News doesnt mention for a reason.
obligatory Buddy Christ. Peace..
