Seriously? You're calling her out on an honest mistake when you clearly don't know how to even use a comma? And that's just in these quoted posts here. Earlier, you ended a question with a period. A period! How about you actually reply to her arguments rather than nit-picking her grammar when your own posts are incredibly lazy.

Again...think who you're arguing with.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

What's G-d? did you mean God more correctly FSM?
 Are you afraid to type it? if so why?

FSM Grin
Afraid of typing "God"? No, I'm afraid of cancer, getting hit by a drunk driver, and the Superman roller coaster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. I can't imagine being afraid of typing out any word.  
I type it with the dash mostly out of habit, because that's how my people in my culture do it. And to answer your other question, no, I was not referring to FSM. I suppose if I was, I'd have typed "FSM," or "The Noodly deity of the Pastafarians." G-d typed with a dash is, as far as I know, exclusively used by Jews to refer to the deity of the Hebrew Bible.

Yes, I wrote "descended" instead of "ascended".  A simple error does not take away from the rest of my statement.

Descended is correct because last time I checked, Jesus was a Jew, practicing Judaism. And where does the Hebrew bible (the one Jesus was reading) say that souls go when they die? Do they fly up into the air, or do they descend into a pit?

Pulled from: http://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/...tradition/

"There are, however, several biblical references to a place called Sheol. It is described as a region “dark and deep,” “the Pit,” and “the Land of Forgetfulness,” where human beings descend after death. The suggestion is that in the netherworld of Sheol, the deceased, although cut off from God and humankind, live on in some shadowy state of existence.

While this vision of Sheol is rather bleak (setting precedents for later Jewish and Christian ideas of an underground hell) there is generally no concept of judgment or reward and punishment attached to it. In fact, the more pessimistic books of the Bible, such as Ecclesiastes and Job, insist that all of the dead go down to Sheol, whether good or evil, rich or poor, slave or free man ()."

Valkyrie seems to have stumbled on the correct verb from a biblical standpoint to describe the direction the soul travels after death. Ascend is incorrect and doesn't appear until the Roman pagans introduced it to their Jewish-Pagan blended religion, Christianity.

 When I make a mistake everyone's all over it. And even if you hadn't made the mistake the rest of your post would still be illogical.

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.

You don't make simple mistakes, you just don't care about even trying to write properly. There's a big difference between screwing up a word and being lazy in 90% of your posts. You're even too lazy to explain how her point was illogical (which it wasn't).

 I know my grammar is bad, but no worse than your attitude. I did not call her out for grammar, it was for using a wrong term that completely changes what the Bible says. So why don't you just keep quite or better yet just go away.

 You explain nothing, you are a constant complainer meaning you have nothing useful to say.

Not happening. You can ignore me if you want. You sarcastically called her out on a simple mistake when it was obvious what she meant. If you don't want to be called out on your insignificant mistakes then don't do the same to others (Jesus said this by the way). And you are still not demonstrating how her post was illogical.

The bible says descend. The NT says "ascend" but she's not wrong for using the term descend, because as I just stated above, the god that you believe wrote the bible describes that the soul descends into a pit.

"Descends into a pit" sounds pretty allegorical to me, don't you think?

I figured you'd agree.  I wonder about our xtian friend.  Do you read any of the xtian bible allegorically, Godcreated?
