To Unconvinced

*This is also taken from my friend's blog, including the comments.

To Unconvinced:
Thank you for your comment! Would you care as to leave your name, so I can at least know who has left me this comment? :) I've long awaited someone to leave their thoughts on this, and you have, so I thank you. (i'm guessing you are someone i've known for the past six years, and someone who's going to be a pretty good doctor in the near future ^^ tell me if i'm wrong)
You're right - I think I stepped on a ground which I shouldn't have stepped on, and chosen an analogy which is of course, no good analogy at all. I admit my flaws, and I am not afraid to do so. Who am I to expect I can convince anyone anyway? I'm just a mere human being, and in all my foolishness, by my words there can be no way to convince anyone - I'm too stupid for that. So please don't think I'm trying to 'convince' you, or anyone else. You know me, I've never been good at computing, never good at logic, so if i try to use something like this to convince people, haha, I've bumped a wall.
I am not here to start an argument, nor am I here to publish narrow-minded intolerant comments as you have said. You are right, Jesus teaches us to love our neighbours as ourselves. Jesus Himself loves all mankind. That's why He died on the cross - for Christians and non-Christians alike! Please don't take me as being narrow-minded or intolerant because i called other religions' heads 'god' and the Christian one 'God' - this just represents what I believe. Another person from another religion can equally call their god 'God', and call mine 'god'. But yes, that is what I believe - that God sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for all of us, and that He rose again, and that through Him we may be able to once again have a relationship with God - and yes that He is the one true God.

Having said all that, I do agree that I've put my foot in dangerous waters and my choice of analogy is far from appropriate (edit: considering that you took it the other way). Thank you for pointing out my mistakes (edit: the possible flaws of an analogy), and my apologies to those who have been lost and confused in all this 'hype'.
Maybe one day you would be convinced - not by my words or any other person's words, but by God Himself.
