Still won't answer the question. What's the matter: too hard for you? <<<Are you against criminals receiving Justice?>>> "One does not speak of irreligious people or people of different religions as "criminals"." One certainly does speak of people who are guilty of breaking the Law as Criminals. Are you too emotionally invested to bother getting a dictionary? What happened to reason? "Yes, I can follow the story, thanks." You've demonstrated from the start that you can not, and it's obvious that it is intentional. "This demonizing of others so as to ease murder and torture as was done through centuries and continues as we speak is not a matter for being cute." It's not demonizing someone to apply the proper legal designation to someone found guilty in a story about judgment and justice in the context of the Law. The Rich man in the story has already been found guilty under the Law of Moses. He stands there guilty and does not even bother claiming, (as you want to do) innocence. The main point of the story is that people already have all the information that they need and an opportunity NOW (while they are still alive) to repent and take advantage of the Grace that is freely offered to them. If they thumb their nose at that, then they have sealed their own fate and will at some point have to face justice. I see that you detest this story and by extension the God behind it. Very well then: you WILL have justice. <<<They will get their "ultimate truth" when the car hits the rocks below, just like the sign said>>> "Am I the only one who hears a snicker in that self righteous and heartless exultation?? What is feeding this smug satisfaction that oozes through your cruel words??" What a strange thing to say for someone who has just (in the last post) finished declaring his moral superiority over other people. I do not think I'm better than other people and have said so clearly. I used "ultimate truth" in quotes because you used it first, (which again is funny for someone who claims such things do not exist: but I digress) What you were really saying is that there is no point where someone has had enough information and that it is your judgment that no judgment of criminals can ever be made. Unless of course you are doing it and then it's OK. They obviously already had all the information that they needed and chose to break the Law anyway. Anyone who does that, must face the consequences of their actions. I have acknowledged that I could have easily been in the same situation, so snickering and bragging is what you have been doing not me. What I have been doing on this thread for years is trying to tell you that THE BRIDGE IS OUT! and all you have done in return is to try and run me down.
