You mean this is the conclusion you've come to, not by way of God's word but by your own interpretation of your religion. There are any number of paths a person can follow, the idea that there are just two is nothing more than the product of your narrow thinking - that it's your religion, or damnation.

This is why your faith is shrinking and people are turning away. It thrives on ignorance and fear and can't reconcile itself to its long and unbroken history of criminal behavior.
