So, why do you?!?
I'm very realistic with myself, I have people tell me to stop it for a little while.
Gc
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.

Far too late for that.

Coming from someone who "knows" gawd exists and denies evolution, that is fucking hilarious.

Not nearly as horrifying as the promise of spending the rest of eternity with a grown up version of Anthony Fremont.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Thank you, come again.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

The " I don't know and my completely non-official interpretation is that we won't comment on our revelations of god's word anymore" is very dishonest when all of the Bible verses, and official catholic doctrine pieces that can be readily researched, either very strongly supports that atheists are going to hell by the revealed word to the catholic church or with enough weaseling weakly states that the question isn't answered." There is no catholic theology that supports an atheist in heaven or contradicts one in hell.
Weasel, squirm, and stretch all you want.
If catholic priests have used the threat of hell in their sermons in the past, they have declared it the word of god, they never hedge it by saying "just maybe , but we don't know."
If god gives atheists a choice to be left alone in an afterlife and not having to spend eternity groveling at someone's feet, pretty much everyone would take that option.
Can you point to where Catholic teaching states that all atheists automatically go to Hell simply for being atheist?
Why do you persist in putting in the weasel word "automatically?"
Does that affect the question in any way other than giving you an out where you can cache an "obviously besides the point latter conversion" into the fray? No, it doesn't.
