The Paradox of Power....
RE: The Paradox of Power....
Not to mention that you'd think they'd figure out that being a bloviating assbag is not the way to get through to a bunch of skeptics.

When I said "you will learn in hell" means "you WILL believe but it will be too late".But let's say for argument's sake that you don't know for certain that Hell exists. Are you willing to burn in Hell for all eternity if you're wrong? Common sense tells us that sin MUST be punished. Our very human soul tells us that there MUST be a God Who is going to judge every human being in eternity. The Bible warns in Ecclesiastes 12:14, “For God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Just keep telling yourself that that's ^^^ what you meant by this:

They never learn.They just love to thrive in there sin's.I would actually define them apthiestic since they don't care about God on whether he exist's or he doesn't but never mind they'll learn in Hell.
Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words.Proverbs 23:9
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.Proverbs 18:2

You may be able to convince yourself, but I doubt you'll convince god, if he exists.

No my friend,The only thing that would make God angry is when I break his rule's,such as
  • You shall have no other gods before Me.
  • You shall not make idols.
  • You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
  • Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
  • Honor your father and your mother.
  • You shall not murder.
  • You shall not commit adultery.
  • You shall not steal.
  • You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
  • You shall not covet.
Golden rule 
YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
 YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines purgatory as a "purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven," which is experienced by those "who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified" (CCC 1030). It notes that "this final purification of the elect . . . is entirely different from the punishment of the damned" (CCC 1031). 
The purification is necessary because, as Scripture teaches, nothing unclean will enter the presence of God in heaven (Rev. 21:27) and, while we may die with our mortal sins forgiven, there can still be many impurities in us, specifically venial sins and the temporal punishment due to sins already forgiven. 




A Prayer for Unbelievers

O God, the everlasting Creator of all things, remember that the souls of unbelievers were made by Thee and formed in Thine own image and likeness. Remember that Jesus, Thy Son, endured a most bitter death for their salvation. Permit not, I beseech Thee, O Lord, that Thy Son should be any longer despised by unbelievers, but do Thou graciously accept the prayers of holy men and of the Church, the Spouse of Thy most holy Son, and be mindful of Thy mercy. Forget their idolatry and unbelief, and grant that they too may some day know Him whom Thou hast sent, even the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our Salvation, our Life and Resurrection, by whom we have been saved and delivered, to whom be glory for endless ages. Amen.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Can't be desire to convert. They must know it doesn't work that way.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Indeed. Cthulhu Dreaming got something like ten this morning and I've gotten two in the last ten minutes.

In that regard, he still is far from his personal record, IIRC, is around 30.
