I'm sorry, I did not make what I wrote very clear. The sincerity I stated should have followed the word undying (undying sincerity). A parable by Jesus explains sincerity, "if you knew that a great treasure was buried on a certain piece of property wouldn't you spend everything you had to obtain that property, so that treasure will be your's. The treasure is salvation in this parable."

Not my fault you fell for a comic book delusion. I cant help you if you "sincerely" believe that bullshit.
People once "sincerely" believed the sun was a god. Muslims "sincerely" believe that Allah is the one true god. People "sincerely" believe that the moon landing was faked. Some people "sincerly" believe that Oujia boards work. Some people "sincerly" believe in voodoo.
Your sincerity only means that you want to believe it no matter what. But lots of people in our evolution over the past 500,000 years "sincerely" believed bullshit.
A scam artist will sell you snake oil and call it a cure all. Stage magicians were mostly con artists when they were popular.The honest ones call themselves illusionists. Most people today when they see that woman sawed in half know it is a trick, even if they don't know how the trick was preformed.
You have merely fallen for your own desires. You want that mental delusion to be more than your own credulity but it is nothing more than a mental sugar pill. The magician is YOU scaming your own brain into buying into your own immagination.
Something you should know about me, I am skeptical by nature, I do not let anything or anyone into my world very easily. It is of coarse up to you whether you believe this. Many that know me would tell you I question much, my pastor would tell you this.
Yet you have a very insulting quote in your sig.
Here is the problem, I am not insulted by the sig because you quote it. It is insulting because you have no fucking evidence of a heaven or hell. And what is more insulting to me is that you fail to see why it should insult you as well.
You don't question your pastor any more than you quesiton the fictional god you fell for. Questioning to you is not about going where the evidence leads, questioning to you is about looking for a justification.
There is a huge difference between finding an ecuse and finding facts. You look for excuses.
