We believed the Four Spiritual Laws represented the Gospel in a nutshell, and we used this man-made method to proselytize on behalf of the God we believed we followed. But years of experience with Christians have led me to believe those original four laws were incorrect. Thus, here are the REAL Four Spiritual Laws as spelled out in the Bible (mind you, I don't really believe this, but this is, indeed, what the Bible teaches): God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. But God chose to give the earth and all its people over to the control of a mean bastard evil guy named Satan, whose sole job it is to destroy us as best possible with things like earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and reruns of 'Three's Company.' If you plead hard enough and use enough spiritual warfare, it's possible to kick God in the butt just enough to get him to intervene and stop the evil Satan from doing even worse things to us - but usually only on a case-by-case basis. However, if you've found the most correct of all correct versions of Christianity and can claim a better 'relationship' with the Almighty through a better walk with a better Christ through a better version the Holy Spirit, then it's possible you might be granted a bubble to protect you from Satan, thus granting you a somewhat permanent injunction against the evil that God otherwise allows to destroy his created people (the ones he loves and has created a wonderful plan for their lives).
