What are you going to turn this into??

You were telling him what he should believe. That is attempting to tell him what to believe.

You should apologize for mot accepting his beliefs as valid. Very judgemental and noninclusive of you.

Thanks Karoly. I appreciate that.

Sir, I believe his words are even more applicable to me than yourself.

Way to tell him what he should believe.

But according to you that is how you educate someone.
Tell them what to believe.

I don't go around educating people about what to believe.

I have never said no no no you need to believe such and such.

Not my job, I live in a free country. You can keep your euro thought police state.

likewise bro.
i've always appreciated your views, especialy when to comes to sciency stuff.

It's just like music- I can't dismiss a whole genre even if I dislike 99.99% of the stuff from that genre (like rap )

I love how americans fancy themselves to be 'free'.
That's why you have such crap politics and think arming everyone will protect the country,etc..

Going to hell is your choice. I am allowing you to make that choice and not telling you to change your ways.

There was some tongue in cheek in that little message to Karoly.

Now, I didn't say that I don't preach. I just said I appreciated what he said.

So an all knowing , all powerful entity known as "God" is so human as to want send people FOR ETERNITY to hell for eternal torment?

This doesn't make sense. it smells and definately doesn't resonate with me.
You think this sounds right, right?

My humble belief is that dumbarse ignoramouses may be sent to 'purgatory'.
This purgatory mat be as simple as being born a black person in the wrong family in amercica.

I mean do you know what reflection is? Do you ever think about stuff that makes no sense at all , that you blithly regurgitate out of a sense of fear?

I made my choice long ago and nothing in the 20+ years has made me change my mind except of course to eliminate falsehoods and wishful thinking.

Thing is I will try stuff. I will want to educate myself 'hands on' about certain things.
For example I've made a concerted effort to understand the indegenous culture and the plight of the original Australians as a matter of courtesy and respect.
And learning about real aboriginals is not as easy as just going to Ayers Rock.
What do you reckon? Is Christianity better than the aboriginal culture in Australia, considered to be the oldest people of the world?

But you do preach, don't you?

i mean sincerely I don't know what you're getting at here. Maybe Ghost will enlighten me, but at the moment it seems you're just trolling, which is unusual for you, but not that unusual 🙂
