Why is Andy Fox a mench?

"Being created "in God's image" refers to having the same abilities of cognition, self-awareness, moral judgment, etc., and has nothing to do with physical appearance."

Yeah, that was stupid on my part. And probably "in God's image" doesn't do justice to the meaning of the phrase in it's original language or understanding.

David, I doubt that I would be able to answer these questions to your satisfaction. There are many books available that discuss these issues more clearly than I could.

As for whether atheists can be saved, there is some disagreement even within the evangelical Protestant Christian community. A very small minority believes that Christ's death was efficacious for everyone, so that all will be saved regardless of whether they accept Christ before death.

While this is obviously the most palatable version of Christianity for a pluralistic society, it always struck me as rendering the whole Crucifixion/Resurrection kind of pointless. If God's going to save me no matter what I do, why is He wasting my time telling me about it?
