My Escatological Vision

[Dotard]

You said right here, "You're asking me to respect a belief that the supernatural exists? Like ghosts, warlocks, witches, zombies, Harry Potter and such? Sorry, can't do that. I refuse to respect those beliefs [b]and quite frankly I'm not going to respect the people that hold them."

And that equates to atheists think they are the only intelligent ration people on earth? How does "I refuse to respect religious beliefs or the people that hold them" equal "You think you are the only intelligent people on earth"? It doesn't.

There is a perfectly legitimate and rational reason why homosexuality is wrong.

Lay it on me then man! I've been looking for one of those. Keep in mind though, because God/Jesus/Lord Zenu/FSM said so doesn't count.

At the same time we believe that we are correct, but those Christians who use their belief that they are correct as a way to be arrogant, they are disobeying the spirit of Christ, as the Church teaches....

You maintaining your beliefs and continually argueing they are fixed in reality in the face of all evidence and reason IS arrogance.

It is true that some Christians use their faith as a way to be arrogant. In this regard they are being terrible witnesses. The Church recognizes that there are good things within all religions and even within atheism. The Church also recognizes taht God is not bound by the visible boundaries...

More PR for your chruch. Really man, you can keep that shit to yourself

Also if you are going to be critical about Christianity than be real about what we believe.

What is it about what you believe did I get wrong? Please show me this strawman you claim I am building.

I understand it is far easier to attack a straw man

Just like the strawman you have constructed about atheism?

but at some point you have to grow up

Fuck you.

It is true that to often people abuse the name of Christ and scandalize the Church, but at some point you have to see through men's failures and see the truth of what Christ teaches.

Nevermind us protecting the child molesters in our ranks That's just "men's failures". Nothing important really, nothing to see here, move along. I don't give a flying fuck what christ teaches if his representatives here are molesting little children and he, if he be truely a 'God', stands by and does nothing to prevent it. If he be truely a God and continues in his silence and allows the guilty to be 'covered up' AND allowing the one suspected of covering up such incidents to be elected as the leader of his representatives.

Please remove your blinders and rose colored glasses and take a look at your church again.

His message is of love and peace, simply. Christ teaches that all of the law is summarized in this, love God and love your neighbor as yourself, he further states the golden rule.....,

Sounds preachy. No need for the sunday school lesson.

I'm done for now. This dude just repeats himself over and over no matter how unreasonable his claims and assumptions.
