How fatalistic and depressing you sound. "Woe is me, I understand how little I can do to defend or speak for this position, so, as with everything else in my life, I'm going to give up and let my beliefs about invisible saviors take over." You don't even understand that there are not 100% of the facts on your side, just your belief that there are, hence your failing position. Faith is the absence of brain exercise. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be used as the cure all for every problem you can't fix. It's not about being right, its about being rescued? Can you paint a bigger example how you've mixed two completely independent ideas and used them to excuse and run from any real progress? News flash, if your wrong then there's nothing to be saved from. Better said, because your wrong, your wasting your time pretending to save people. This isn't someone dangling from a cliff and an argument about whether you should repel down or raise a ladder up. That person obviously and objectively needs to be saved. Your trying to save people from hell? Hell, a concept invented well before the time of the bible. The devil, a character with many names and many forms all predating your text. But no, these facts, this real history you spit in the face of for your beliefs. Your harmful beliefs that waste yours and others time. Your destructive beliefs that stifle people's drive for critical thinking and objective analysis. Your divisive belief that cries assimilate or be ostracized. If Christ was the type of person to not stand up for truth, not his fluttering stomach feelings, actual truth, then he's nothing I care to respect or emulate. Maybe we should all follow the character of god in the old testament. Maybe we should divide our families and rally behind the sword wielding Christ. No, I choose peace, reason, and objective truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
