What is the point of God today?

I’m not going to rewrite your very own posts to avoid “offending” you.

If you don't want to talk about my wife, then I suggest you don't copy-paste what I said about her into one of your posts and then seek to talk about it.

I would be trying to reconcile with her.

Why?

Read the hypothetical again:

You, in this hypothetical, have a badly-damaged relationship with someone. You know for a fact you will die in two days.

You cannot disclose to the person whom you have a badly-damaged relationship that you will die in two days.

Why are you trying to reconcile with that person? What is the point? What are you hoping to achieve?

@fmf said
So in what circumstances would someone who believed they could ask for help from God - but who did NOT believe in eternal life - believe trying to repair their marriage "pointless" because they could die at any moment? Be clear.

It’s on you to explain why it’s not pointless.

Then if all you want to say about the personal information that I used to answer your question in good faith is that it is "absurd", then perhaps you should just ignore it rather than copy-paste it and call it "absurd". I mentioned my wife, it's true. You can just ignore it if you want.

I’m going to bid you a fond adieu and give you a big smooch from Cincinnati, Ohio.

😘 😘

Reconciliation.

Because she is my wife and the mother of my children.

I don't think I do.

The fact that I would NOT think trying to reconcile with a spouse, with the only two days we have left, was "pointless", reflects on my character.

And the fact that you WOULD think trying to reconcile with a spouse during those last two days was "pointless", reflects on yours.

FMF found what he thinks is a chink in your armor, now he'll exploit it to the hilt because he gets fixated on little things of no significant importance relative to the discussion at large.

The discussion is about faith, marriage, reconciliation, the threat of death, the hope for eternal life, and the role of God in all this. What is the "little thing of no significant importance" you see in all this?

Probably lies in bed at night dreaming of his intellectual prowess in the SF forum and being knighted for it.

Banter like this says nothing accurate about me josephw. Instead, it's just you wearing your own inferiority complex on your sleeve for no apparent reason.

The chink in PB's armor.

That was two pages ago I think.

But never mind that. I quite agree with what things you've been saying with regards to the "hypothetical".

Don't be such a conversational coward. What was the "little thing of no significant importance" that you saw in the dialogue about the effect of belief in eternal life on trying to deal with a troubled marriage?

It was a joke. I don't have an inferiority complex. You're being defensive without a cause.

Please stop trying to label and define me. You only think you know me.

There's not a conversation known to man I'm afraid to talk about.
Stop trying to squeeze me into your little boxed in world.
