   Well, you're right about the Bible saying NOTHING   
   about anyone being bare ass naked, as you keep   
   repeating without showing me the scripture to   
   which you refer.

   Jesus told us how to be saved. It's very simple,   
   and it's available to everyone, including you.   
   It's a free gift from God. If you choose to   
   reject that gift, that's on you -- so you can   
   stop being angry at people because you don't   
   believe something that other people DO believe.   
   It's not their fault that you have chosen to   
   reject the Bible.

   God is not obligated, and that's not how Jesus   
   put it when He said (in the Bible) that He is   
   preparing a place for us in His Father's house,   
   and He (Jesus) will return to take us to be   
   where He is. I saw nothing about any "obligation"   
   in that. Where did you get that?
