Never trust a salesman or a religion that uses the 'better hurry' pitch. The whole 'better act now, times a wastin' aspect of Xtionity has always been a major turnoff. It's so gimmicky, it an already gimmick stuffed religion. People laugh when used car salesmen use it, why do they take it seriously in a religion. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The only exception to this might be when it is true. Life is a precious gift, use it well and don't count on having a do over. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

For such a precious gift, there sure is a lot of it around. And for many it's a curse. For millions, actually. Wanna rethink that statement? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The Hindu religion does not use "getting another shot at it" as an excuse for bad behavior in your current life. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

Quite the opposite, in fact. They teach that what you do comes back to haunt you next time. Karma, anybody? kar·ma ˈkärmə/ noun noun: karma (in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | It just occurred to me that in all this time you've never said why I would be better off as a god believer than as an atheist. You've never laid out the case. Is it because you don't have one? I have lots of reasons you'd be better off as an atheist. Less stress. Less worry. Ability to marry and have a family. Can think for yourself and not filter everything thru Church doctrine first. Not be concerned that the supernatural thought police will judge you for every errant idea that passes through your head. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | If I told you that you can be a Christian and still think for yourself and not filter everything through doctrine first would you believe me? If I told you that being a Christian you would never have to worry about the supernatural thought police judging you for every thought that ran through your head would you trust me on that? You see if you have already made up your mind about these things then I don't see the point of talking to you about the free, joyful, loving, peaceful, and, sacrificial, and challenging life that would await you as a Christian. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |
