Aculaud 0 Posted July 11, 2002 Well, iv heard some say that christ preached that the kingdom of god was within you to find for yourself, not in a church of any kind, so you do the math. I never want it thought that i dont think you should believe in these things, but they are just one mans beliefs. Trying to tell someone that doesnt believe what you do that they'll go to your faiths hell for living their life the way they want is hypocrisy. We all have the right to live our life the way we want with no strings attached. Anyone who says different is, for lack of a more compassionate term, a conformist, pure and simple.

Itnellectual integrity being brought up as a means to condemn someone to hell because they dont believe the way you do? the thought that I will go to hell if I dont believe in the rather narrow way that you do is irrational.... the antithesis of intellectual reasoning. In many ways religion is a denial of intellectual thought. Not taking a shot at anyone here, however... just pointing out that faith denies proof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paratrooper 0 Posted July 12, 2002 My point was that if you don't beleive in it then how could it possibly bother you? Surely atheism is a position of unassailability. I do know something of atheism I have dabbled with it myself, but found that God is a much more compelling force than nothingness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are acting like an idiot because I already asked you to leave the missionary "convert the unbeliever" bullshit out of the equation, and yet you persist. You dont need to tell me about God or Jesus or anything, I know just as much as you do, and I am not convinced, and I take it as an insult that you wont acknowledge my desire to be left out of your Heavenly Kingdom. Thats why youre acting like an idiot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
