Something was wrong here. The real truth is seldom that inviting at first. When anybody writes the real truth about God, it's not a bestseller in the secular press because it's not the kind of thing the non-believer wants to hear. Sinners do not want to hear they are moral rebels in God's universe, that the judgment of God hangs heavy our heads and we are in desperate peril for our eternal souls. In fact, even stating it that way seems quaint, like a preacher in the background of a 40's western.
Nobody talks that way anymore.
But it's part of the Gospel and you can't miss it if you read the Bible. People don't want to hear that, though. Neil Donald Walsh, the author, has sold millions of copies. Allegedly, God urged Walsh to forgive his own sins and said that everyone, even Adolph Hitler, is welcome into Heaven. God's not mad at anybody, even Hitler.
