<< Del, when you (or I, or anyone else) comments on religion, other than to describe specific rituals or scriptures, you are talking about opinions and beliefs, not facts. >> Nearly all of my posts on the Bible are asking questions about specific quotes from it. I rarely get straightforward answers. << It is impossible to prove that God does not exist. I would have a darn tough time proving the opposite. >> I have nothing to prove. It is up to the believers to come up with the proof. So far I haven't seen any good evidence. << Re calling people names, a good case could be made for your use of the word "Christian" as name calling. If you keep popping up out of the blue with your contempt for my beliefs, I will continue responding, however briefly, with my point of view. >> I apologize for calling you a Christian. Asking questions about specific quotes is contempt? << You seem obsessed with putting down Christian faith. I don't mind whatever you think, but please stop shouting your hatred in my face. >> It's not an obsession at all. When the topic comes up, I will give my point of view, and I won't be intimidated by the likes of you at all. Give me an example of one of my posts that shouts hatred. You have a perception problem. << I have told you before that I am not a student of the bible, so why do you pester me with questions. For me, it doesn't come down to the book, Del. It doesn't come down to a ritual or a shrine or a celebration. To me it comes down to what's in my heart and what makes my spirit healthy. I can't help if what is good for me, bothers you. >> Uh, Michael. I believe that I was having a dialogue with CB, and you kept butting in with the "Jesus loves you" stuff. I could care less what you believe, but I do care when boneheads like those flat-earthers in Kansas try to impose their mythology on the public school system, for example. I can't help if what is good for me, bothers you. << Can't you get on with your life, in whatever way you choose, without trying to put down the lives that other people choose? Perhaps you could think of it as a multi-cultural thing. >> If you're saying that I should stop questioning the Bible and religion, forget it. I will continue to do so. If you don't like it, click next. I am not required reading. Unless, you address specifics from my posts, I will not respond to your "Jesus loves you" posts. They are meaningless, and have no effect on my thinking whatsoever. Del
