Another 95 Theses

28: In order for some random person among the seven billion on earth to be saved, as the church claims is God’s will for all, he or she must feel a need to depart from the worldview inherited from parents (a rarity), have a personal encounter with a member of a tiny unknown sect, be convinced of the need to renounce his or her previous self as a damned sinner, and join the sect, too.

52: God remains hidden to almost everyone, leaving them in the supposedly erroneous belief that they have experienced some sort of correct understanding or revelation of him, and allowing them to go to their graves damned by that false consolation.
