Arkose: Those who claim to follow God while also following other gods are just fooling themselves, because the Bible specifically states that God is "a jealous God" and does not permit the worship of other gods; it's one of the Ten Commandments.

God sounds insecure. That's not very god-like. :P

Arkose: Molly honestly believes what she is selling; whether or not God and Heaven actually exist is another matter altogether and does not invalidate her motives.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think her motives are exactly pure; I think she's afraid of death like the rest of us, has swallowed the Christian thing cause she was told to (as a source of comfort, though it's never put that way), and now wants other people to be comforted with her so she feels less alone and afraid in her beliefs and fears -- if people don't believe what she believes, the whole structure that's been built starts to fall apart on her.
As you noted, she believes wholly -- she has to; the idea of someone rejecting her religion so directly opposes what her belief system requires (unquestioning faith), it can't be any other way. Interestingly though, I really enjoyed the part where she said "Christianity is probably the right path" (or something to that effect) -- I was surprised she'd be so forceful and then even acknowledge any possibility what she's been taught could be "wrong."
Jesus, we could have a psych class on these people..

Man 1: I feel like I've made real progress this week. I stopped believing in the magical giant invisible pixie called Norman
Man 2: Well that's great news, this is an important first step and I think you're well on the way to recovery
Man 1: Yes, thats what the magical giant invisible bunyip called Gordon told me
Man 2: Ahh... yes I'll just hold on to the keys to the straight jacket for now, how about a relaxing spot of shock therapy?

Man 2: Ahh... yes well that is your right as an individual and to criticise, question or imply in any way that I don't have slavish and undeserved respect for that blatantly ludicrous belief would be WRONG. Would you like some preferential treatment in the form of political favours?

cogadh: Personally, I'm a firm believer in George Carlin's revised version of the 10 Commandments, which has above all else "Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself". If more people actually followed this path, the world would be a much better place.

That's one of my favorite Carlin bits too.
"It's really like insightful, like we had a lot of discussion, like I don't know I guess Indians are like Hindus"
"It's like an African country in Asia"
LOL. /facepalm x 100000000000000000000000
I'm Christian, but even then, I have reservations about my...fellow peers and their actions. It's quite amazing that people can preach Jesus, then 5 minutes later start badmouthing about someone they dislike. Where's the love? It's pretentious and pathetic to think that you can sin all you want and get away with it by asking for forgiveness, which seems to be a large part of what a lot of Christians I know are doing. Fornication, backstabbing, hate...these seem to be predominant in most Christians I know. The "love" part only seems to be a facade, if it was ever there at all.
I've been reading David Gemmell's Jon Shannow novels recently. Although it's fiction, some of the text is worth thinking over. Shannow takes a gun, and kills a person only when he really deems it necessary. The Parson, on the other hand, has no qualms about sending an innocent man to his death, simply because the man calls his own god "Chronos". It reflects on one's interpretation of God's word, and more importantly, to what extent one would preach the necessary core values.
