Now a question for you - what has an individual done - when it is finally realized that the pot they thought they were pissing in - was never really there to begin with?

Don't worry I'll anwer for you: they've pissed on themselves.

Good day to you Urizen. God bless.

😆 😆 😆 😆

That's almost as funny as the jokes I found in the Bible !

So, the loving god would send someone who shows selfless love to hell. This god is not a god of love, he is a god of vengeance. Your god is evil.

Actually, let me restate this:

No

If someone gets angry over a post I make simply because they disagree with what I have to say, or because I won't budge and just say they are right and I am wrong, it means nothing to me.

People really shouldn't be getting angry on these forums, it's just a discussion website, and it this is a person's ONLY outlet for thier thoughts, then that's pretty unfortunate, sorry.

How do you dislike someone so much you know nothing about ?

I don't like or dislike you.....you're just a teddy bear image to me 🙂

The 3 lower paths of the ten worlds. Any actions taken in these worlds lead to suffering. They are known as the tree evil paths.

Nor should they treat people with contempt or ridicule them.

True.

But since people treat me with contempt and ridicule me more so then I do them, I wondor if this advice is exclusive to me ?

I wouldn' t say more. Anyway, excuse me to depart from the subject.

mis·in·ter·pret verb

1. To interpret inaccurately.
2. To explain inaccurately.

fool noun
1. a silly or stupid person; a person who lacks sound judgment or common sense, despite their intellectual capacity.

One who does not recognize clear instances of condemnation (Who is the fool again?) is either unaware of the instances in question or is uncertain of the meaning of "condemnation."

Hence, I provided both examples of the instances in question, and the definition of "condemnation" to ameliorate your ignorance; misinterpreting the connotation of your post does not factor into the equation.

Fixed.

I'm willing to acknowledge that everyone has the right to their opinion, regardless how foolish or incorrect their opinion might be.

I am certain that this relativistic attitude shelters your right to your opinion in more instances than not.

What an appropriate metaphor for your adherence to a belief system based on an imaginary god. 😆

I must know? I must know and accept what you believe? No. That's not how free will works.

You keep accusing me of hatred, but I'm not the one who says "I'm right, and you're wrong, and for it you're going to burn in an eternal pit of fire and suffereing". Wanna know the difference? I'm not going to pretend, for the sake of "gods" favor, that I give two shits about your eternal soul.

As for your respect, I've never had any for you...so your lack of respect for me amounts to not one iota of interest for me. You knowing I'm gay doesn't mean a damned thing to me either. Your on-going condemnation of them is where you screw up. I don't back up my statements with blind hatred, I back them up with indisputible facts. (you know, facts that weren't dreamed up...but rather based on human reality) The difference is that I'm not relying on a book written by flawed human beings and calling it fact via the interaction of god. I'm more than willing to admit the flaws of evolution and reality as observed by humanity over the centuries, you are not. And that stubborn fact makes you wrong. And at the very least, it makes you hypocritical.


You need to work your comprehension if your response was in fact a response to what I said. Most of it has nothing to do with anything I said. How can you read your posts and not see your anger in there? Its evident in your tone and words. I have never told you to believe what I believe, so why do you pretend that I have? Once again, I have never once said that you are going to hell, so get over your blind anger and open your eyes and see that. I also, never said I didn't respect you. I still do, so what you are talking about there is beyond me. Your facts are very disputable because they don't exist. I have never seen you produce a single piece of hard unbiased evidence, so that argument is dismissable.
Hypocritical? What do I preach that I do not do? Are you misusing the word? Or perhaps you aren't reading and can't see that I'm not being hypocritical?

Truly a response worthy of pity. I am but one - and you have legions of people supporting you, as well as multiple imitations and numerous farcing(including your own) to presently support your positions - and this is the best response you can give? I guess the truth does indeed hurt - but what hurts even more, is the realization that one never understood - nor had any grasp on the truth to begin with.

Who's showing the selfless love? The person trying to spend eternity with someone in hell would not be sent. Why? Because I am strongly impressed with the idea that people in hell are extremely isolated and that there is no communion amongst the damned. Therefore, God would tell the person that he will not because there would be no point.
