We apparently talk quite often, you and I, so it shouldn't be too much or a hardship for you to clear this up."

"I'm so fucking mysterious. Free will."

"Thanks mate."


But still not a nice universal language that never changes meaning and can't possibly be misunderstood. Even God has his limits, I guess. Unless he could do that, but he actually wants us to argue about what it means. Cut off each other's nobs and that.

If you guys know the bible like you say you do then you'd know that you can only gain understanding of it through revelation, being able to read it means nothing.


Quote:At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. - Matthew 11:25

Dude, every single one of your posts in here has left me literally speechless. I mean, the level of intellectual vapidity required to have such a fundamental misunderstanding of logic, reality, even your own worldview, it's staggering. This is why it's so heartbreaking seeing what religion, even this nice-nice cherry-picking la-di-da version you seem to hold onto, is doing to you. When you're ready to accept help, we're always here, but for the life of us, you make it so damned hard to get to the point where you're willing to listen to reason.
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.
