What is your reaction to this religious statement?

[Nicole]

Well, lol, my initial reaction was to laugh.

Being of strong christian faith as I am. I firmly believe that you must have a personal relationship with God. Religionn is a fear based method to keep people in check with out doing any real work of their own. I do not have aReligionn, I have a relationship.

I laugh because this person obviously has no idea what Jesus stands for if they are making such a statement. Jesus frowns on negativity and fear.

This person is speaking to themselves. From a phycological stand point this person feels lost themselves, and has no idea what to do but to lean random thoughtless verbage.

I think this individual should be ashamed of themselves. If they're initial intent was to bring peopel closer to Jesus than they should know that fear is not the way to do that.
