And what did they learn from you?
I dunno. I was 7 last time I went to church. Maybe that indoctrination doesn't always work? I was soon to age out of the children's group at Worldwide Church of God, but they didn't want me to take part in the adult worship, so I don't know where they intended to put me.

Goofing up a code and intentionally misquoting someone are two different things. You still haven't answered my previous question.

I'm a little busy right now Tori... I will answer your questions later tonight!

And... I didn't want people [in general] to think I wrote that quote! that was my main purpose for pointing it out! I get enough bad press as it is!Wink

Why? What's stopping you from answering now? You're still replying to this thread so I can see you're not busy.

Anyone who read the thread can see you didn't say it, but if it's less bad press you want then perhaps you should start with that tone we discussed earlier that you continue to carry in this thread and others.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

There is proof of 'global warming' the fact that we do not live in a ice age speaks to that, not to mention we have a couple hundred years of recorded temps to also support this fact. What is indisupte (for those who know the basics of thermodynamics and can apply these laws to the 'sky is falling' doctrines of carbon based global warming) is that solar out put (how much energy the sun produces) is not a known constant it varies. As out put increases and our eliptical orbit brings us closer to the sun our days get hotter. as solar out put decreases (as in the 70's and 80's) our days get cooler. If you are old enough to remember that time, the 'sky is falling doctrine' then was that our 'polution' was going to trigger a new ice age.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_variation

All the same evidences were used then to support global cooling as we are using to support global warming, only the conclusion differed. The goverments of the world generated trillions in fees fines and mandated changes. They did it again in the earily 90's with the 'hole in the Ozone layer.' that they said was due to the cfc refrigerants we were using. The 'hole' sealed itself a decade before the ban took all of the cfc's off the market.

In short the evidences for both God and Holes in the Ozone, Global warming or cooling are there. They have always been there. The only problem... Those who fancy themselves as 'thinkers' simply haven't been told by pop culture how to think in such away as to be able to accept truth over properganda.

All that is needed to sway the thought process of a 'thinker' is someone who the 'thinker' believes is smarter to tell them what to think about a given subject.

If Christians are sheep 'thinkers' are goats. Meaning they too are a heard animal easily controled by a central 'shepard.' They just don't know it.

Maybe you are trapped in your parents basement.... But I'm employed. And my employer isn't interested in atheists.

I'm now seeing that answers aren't what you need. You seem to know what "anyone" here is thinking.

When one is already contributing to a discussion it's natural to assume that they have the time to respond to everyone. I haven't spoken any malice against you. Why do you insult me?
