Have you ever think about abide in Christ sans forum combat or engagement for a while?

-Removed-I'm not, nor have I ever spewed hatred. Not to say I don't get angry.
Who doesn't? I wish your posts weren't so virulent. At least that's how some of what you say comes across in my opinion.
I try to listen to what others say. Really listen. But I find that some lose the thread, and fail to keep the flow of thought relative to what is being discussed. The discourse becomes disjointed. It greaves me as I am whole heartedly trying to pursue truth, no matter how hard it may be to face.
I know you hate the idea of billions suffering. For you it is inconceivable for that to be the case. Me too. You also can't stand it when you hear others promulgate that theological concept. I've tried all these years to stay away from declaring exactly my position concerning "everlasting punishment" because I don't want to cause you the pain, though you have pressed me hard to do so.
Maybe you should take a break from this forum for a while. You may have noticed I posts irregularly. It's precisely because the debate becomes, in my opinion, impoverished and even meaningless at times. So then I go about my daily life for days and weeks, sometimes months, and don't even think about this place. Or it will drive me crazy. I can only take so many punches.
-Removed-And you can keep questioning the veracity of the Bible while claiming to be a Christian.
Be assured divegeester, you are ill equipped to ruffle my feathers. If you think you have you're out of touch with reality.
It's you that's ruffled and and angry, and you project your frustration and angst on others because they believe in the literal interpretation of the word of God.
You just can't stand it, as evidenced in the thread "Are You Dumb Enough" where you quote a heretic in your effort to criticize, label and infer that Bible believing Christians are dumb.
You are seething with vitriol.
