@Drich, I'm not speaking for monkeyman here, but as someone who has been through almost exactly what he's been through. Your words mean nothing. When you blaspheme, you want certainty that you'll be ok. Your words are not certainty...

Here's what is certain, the real truth in monkeyman's statement was His thought, trying to dismiss God, is like a flea trying to move the earth out of orbit, impossible.

All you need to remember is that the Bible is bullshit. Without the Bible, no Christian knows anything about Angry Drunken Daddy/Son/Ghost.

From Adam and Eve, through the ludicrous Flood, to the non-existent patriarchs, the incredibly silly Exodus, failed prophecies and up to and including Jeebus and his hippy-dippy merry band.

Really, what more do you need?

And yet I've done it so easily.

I don't think you know what the word "certain" means. Words have meaning, your type likes to twist them and give them new ones. You can dismiss the evidence all you like, but I was in his position before, and I'd be very very surprised if you can even get me to fear hell even a little bit now. So it appears I have escaped this sadistic religious trap and there is no reason why themonkeyman will not one day get to where I am right now. The religion will try and scare him back into being religious, but he's demonstrated himself to be the inquisitive type, and he won't be able to sit with this uncertainty of whether or not he's doomed. If you've felt the fear before you'll know that no one will be able to deal with the uncertainty.

Here's what I know for certain, he want come back because of fear, it will be love on God's part. Also he will never free himself as long as the Holy Spirit works upon his heart, and this is the way he can know he has not blasphemed the Holy Spirit. You do not know what I believe about hell and so how is it you know that what I believe would not scare you, the only way I would ever describe hell to you is in person and eye to eye, why because the eyes are where fear escapes.

You won't scare me because it's funny that a grown man like you believes there's a god that came to earth to die for you and that there's a hell. From that point on there's no way I can take anything you say seriously, you obviously are too gullible for this world. You should buy a dictionary, you sound like a psychic making predictions.

I'm not trying to predict anything, what would give you that idea? One thing you have discounted about Christianity, belief becomes knowledge when one looks for it.

You know for certain what will happen in the future. Right, I'm supposed to believe that. Look up the words belief and knowledge in the dictionary. While you're at it, look up the word certain. I'm done with this bullshit.

False. Theistic belief leads to ignorance.
