But of course that's what the underlying motive is. I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks he's invincible and whatever I bring up he'll easily respond to.
1) We're all horrible sinners
2) The meaning of the cross
3) Fear of judgement day
These are the things he subtly brought up during the conversation. He's using scare tactics to make me convert.
So then TELL him your findings. No scientist should be afraid of that!!
1) There is no sin. Only bigotry and blind faith.
2) That one should worship and desire to escape to Death? Please explain the "sin" of suicide?
3) YOU are the only one who can judge YOU (accurately) ... is he saying he is afraid of himself and his own criticisms? (this opens a HUGE can of worms = What is he /she hiding?)
How old is this Mr/ Ms Invincible?
Finally FTR, I do NOT BELIEVE anything. I strive to understand.
So far NO religious doctrine / belief system has ticked ALL the boxes and lamely suggests that I "Just have Faith" ... This is not enough for me and I am curious ....Oh so much more curious ...about the world I find myself in and the people I have to interact with.
Just WHAT makes it all work?
