I've debated both you and Frodo on the very same topics. You have wildly divergent opinions on the matter. In your myth cycle, Frodos belief in christ would be his only saving grace, and in Frodos myth cycle your ham fisted literal interpretation strips the narrative of any deeper meaning whatsoever. I have Frodo on ignore because I know that he is capable but unwilling to have an honest debate. You are not on ignore because you are incapable of debate, and the things you say make me smile, every time.
You say that someone has "reasons to believe" well, invert that statement to "reasons to disbelieve" and you find us. While Frodo gets a pass on his heresies, you refuse to acknowledge or absolve us of our own. You are speaking out of both sides of your mouth, and Christ would not have approved.
Am I to understand that it is forgivable for a believer to misrepresent or lie about the "Truth of His Nature", but a non-believers doubts or uncertainty regarding which interpretation is the truth is unforgivable?
