Faith Through Fear

[Reforged]

Or dumb, I've never met someone who could hear written words.
I'm not quoting scripture, I'm quoting you. You said you couldn't change your date of death because it was pre-ordained by God, now you're telling me you can shorten your life. Which is it you believe?

You put crosses in every church and every place you can then kneel and pray before them. Thats the definition of idolatry.
Also, this has already been said but its worth saying again, the cross was a device used to crucify people. Its sole purpose was to slowly kill people in the most painful way possible. The fact your Messiah was nailed to it should kind of drive this point home but then your melon like head is nothing if not impenetrable to information.
And no, the fact he supposedly forgave our sins nailed to it *still* doesn't make it a symbol of love in the same way that because Hitler gave some of his speeches on a balcony it doesn't make balconies a symbol of hate. Words uttered while placed on either do not for one second change their primary functions.

You are a hopeless , you think like a child, I'm not arguing with someone who doesn't know up from down or left from right.

Did everyone see how he just backed out of questions he couldn't answer without compromising his stance? Everyone get aload of that?
Awesome, I'm satisfied with this fairly typical conclusion. Everyone give Godschild a round of applause for being himself. :-)

'Nough said.

I think it's unfair to say that the cross (in this instance) must definitely represent one thing. Symbolism is subjective. Put a cross in front of a Christian and they might say 'Jesus'. Put it in front of a historian and they might say 'torture'. I don't think it's something to beat each other up about...

Oh I know but his argument was that its a symbol of love.
His messiahs *nailed* to it bleeding and suffering and its a symbol of love? I mean, really? Does anyone buy that for even a second? Also, as you pointed out; It *is* a symbol, an "idol" if you will which is worshiped regularly by Christians all over the world.
My main point though was that Godschild was making conflicting statements when addressing my query of whether he would choose to extend his life or go directly to heaven all of which were equal in terms of bullshit.
