Yes please keep spending your time investing in your personal eternity. Keep deferring changing this world in a real and practical manner because you expect the mercy of God to do your human work for you. As for the eternity of souls: prove it. I would like just one shred of proof regarding any of this after-life nonsense. You can believe in your God and keep deferring being a true human by doing good works, and please keep praying for the supposed eternal life of your soul, everyone's entitled to waste their time as they see fit. By the way, I believe in God, but don't believe in people's personal selfish prayerful selfjustifying hypocricy. Tell me Christina, never mind about saving souls for a moment, will your medical work take you to truly charitable acts of real and practical salvation? Will your medical work take you to places where real human beings have real needs? Keep your prayers for your soul and the souls of others when there is no more REAL work to be done in the world to feed and keep people suffering profoundly for the want of REAL care. And when I see an Orthodox monk ministering to those in need, then they shall have my respect. Until then, the Salvation Army only qualifies for my respect.
