what's more important to God, or to you - obedience or grace?
When there is love there is no 'obedience' because love can't exist out of compulsion.
Grace is love.

And remember - God is Love you fucking assholes. Seriously you dimwitted jerk, you should believe in the loving GOD i am bashing you over the head about because if you DONT you will be endlessly tortured until you are dead, then revived then tortured until you are dead again and repeat - for ETERNITY!!! You don't want to be burned to 'death' every day for all of existence, do you, you shit-head?? You BETTER just decide to believe in this WONDERFUL LOVING supportive Christian experience I HAVE! See? My life is SO FULL OF LOVE and honest CARING that I'm reminding you that you are worthless unless you agree with me!

That's never been my contention, ever... (and not insinuating you were specifically aiming that at me.)
And I've always included the qualifier that I'm not a perfect Christian, and I don't "turn the other cheek." You treat me like shit, I treat you like shit, and if you don't think that's very Christian like, well, I really don't care. I'll apologize to the Lord later for defending myself and hope he understands.
I do get your point though, and really do agree. I've heard plenty of preachers use the hell fire and damnation speeches, and then turn around and give us the "God is love" line. This is one of the things I debate with my son, who is a newly full blown, consumed with the Bible, YEC cult, zealot. I don't believe for one second that a person needs to go to such extremes to enter the gates of heaven.

He won't and now you're damned to hell for eternity. How does that feel?

Doesn't make me "feel" anything, because you no more know what the Lord will or won't do than the man in the moon does. You've rejected him on every level.
A bunch of goat herders made him up 2,000 years ago... remember?

Clearly Jesus preached love and forgiveness, among many other "quiet" virtues, as I think of them. And I 1000% per cent believe that we must by example reflect Christ's love and humility, or we do more harm than good. So, excellent point, Darin.
I would only add that I personally believe that generally speaking, Christ would prefer passionate discourse to calm indifference.

In person, within an established relationship, yes. Agreed.

Wasn't America founded upon the very values stemming from the religion you're now pleased to resist identification with ?
This, for me, begs the question: what, exactly, ARE you loyal to ? What does define you as a citizen ?

American was founded on slavery, so no. I am not big into nationalism. I see it little different than Lakers vs Knicks. How about we just be civil world humans beings.

so you don't understand history or religion......
