Quote:Now would you do the same for someone elses bastard spawn who hates you undermines everything you do, who wishes ill on your family, curses your children personally, and leads others to do so as well? Would you risk your life for and provide for someone who has killed one of your kids? Would you consider this kid your son even after you look past all of the transgressions this bastard committed against you and your family (the death of your only son) And yet he still hated and lashed out at you every single chance he got?
If I was an absentee father who took zero initiative to play an active role in my son's upbringing, I really can't be surprised that he hates me when my other kids blame him for the shitty relationship between us.
Quote: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."
If I knew for sure that the treasure was there? Yeah, maybe. But what kind of retard would risk all they have on such a proposal entirely on the basis of an unsubstantiated promise?
