    It's no mystery as to why the question gets dodged.

    Do you mean "mystery" in the theological sense, as in "religious truth via divine revelation, hidden spiritual significance, mystical truth," or do you mean it in the mastery sense, as in "handicraft, trade, art" sense?
    Sounds like you might be getting religious on us up in here.

    Ever realize the extent to which light, the illumination of light bulbs in the venues of our lives, are taken for granted? Without Christ and without hope and without eternal life, men and women live out their lives in utter darkness irrespective of their vocabularies and Intelligence Quotients. Choice is yours.

    Do you contend that you can just choose to believe in something that you don't believe in? Perhaps you can give an example from your own life where you managed to do this.

    We ARE without Christ and without eternal life*, we are NOT without hope, and we don't live in utter darkness.

    So your 'choice' is utter [stuff that comes out of the south end of a north facing bull].

    And I ask again, do you truly appreciate that every time you threaten us/me/anyone with your so called 'choice'
    I hate and despise you and your religion a little more?


    *A fact I am for one, rather happy about.

    Well given that I am neither concealing hatred, nor spreading slander, and I am not a fool...

    And given that you spread slander like it was butter on bread and are indeed a fool...

    What was your point?

    Question: What do you believe?[/b]
    I'm sorry, i find the fully question funny. How can you hate something you don't believe in?
    I don't believe in the God of "Isis". And i don't hate those people either. But i do hate the way they practice their "faith", if that is what they call it. And in my mind, that wanton rape and slaughter of people; They need to be stopped.

    That is not exactly true.

    There is a Debate Forum which is for "Potentially heated discussions on topics such as world affairs, politics and other such areas of interest."

    I made a thread with the title "Michelle Obama may be a transsexual" because of information out in the public. I presented most of this information by video. It seemed a good controversial topic to discuss and debate to me.
