True enough, UT. You and I can see the real reason that faith is a requirement.

Quote:
It has to have personal consequences for the [non-]believer. Christianity achieves this by making it the most critical decision you can possibly make: not only does it affect your life, but your afterlife as well.
If you don't do what we tell you to, not only will you suffer in this life, but for all of eternity.

I was interested in hearing the answer from a believer. What explanation have they been given, that they found to be acceptable enough to be the cornerstone of their religion?

The Bible says so?
