I'm assuming you find yourself lost in the same mind-numbing evasion game you display on these forums, then?
Never answer yourself?
Make a valid point to yourself, only to ignore it?
Sound familiar?
What point have I ignored? Present it now and I will answer it fully. Perhaps your difficulty is because I receive way too many responses for anything I say here to reply to them all and still have a life.

And here the abhorent arrogance of your religion rears its ugly head. You assume that Christianity is the only way to happiness, and everyone can only find happiness through it. This is why I think all Christians should stay silent if the only advice they can give someone having troubles is to delve into Christianity. It's a disingenuous plug for their religion, preying on people in vulnerable situations.
Shame on you.
Faithnomore, I honestly believe that the knowledge of God through Jesus Christ is the only way to procure eternal happiness. I don't see how it is arrogant for me to advocate for what I honestly believe is true, especially since I have questioned my beliefs ad-nauseum. I don't think you refuted my example at all. In response to the OP, I used the bare bones facts along with logical reasoning to come to a logical conclusion. If you disagree with my conclusion you should go after my logic. Going after my person and religion is the logical fallacy ad-homineum.
