I'm sorry if this upsets you, but instead of just getting angry why not just disagree. Do you think we all want something different than fulfillment and love? Do we all not want to feel our life has meaning and we are of infinite worth? Please correct me if I am wrong and don't just storm out of the room. I didn't consider it telling Bob what he believes ( by the way I would appreciate a little equal opportunity anger when Bob tells me what I believe and why I believe it, but that's not here nor there), but rather reminding him and all of us what we know. I assumed we were all on board with this. Again when you calm down please tell me where you disagree.


I think if I see something happen that has never happened before, you aren't the one who knows how I will react.

You talk a lot and say nothing, I don't
think you see anything at all except
Bible verses and what other people
tell you to say and think. I seems all
rather confusing to you, but why
wouldn't it. Like you say, you see
everything like a child does, just do
what the older people tell you.
You've been studying for fifty years? I doubt it when you don't even get the "child" reference. Very sad indeed.

That is true.

Okay, I think I see what was significant about dropping out the context in your last post. Good one.


Bereft of context, people supply their own assumptions.

So, sure, it could be used both ways.

No, But God does and He clearly spells it out for you.

Horsecrap, your invented god knows what
you know because you invented him. He's
a fairy tale in your head that somebody
told you as a child and you believed it.

Well then you believe what you were told as a child and I'll believe what I was told when I was a child. No skin off my nose. You're the one going to hell, not me.

I wasn't told anything about religion, I was
allowed to figure out it was crap all by
myself. Hell exists in your mind to scare
you into obedience, looks like it's working
fairly well. LOL

Here's another question:

Is it a sin to be glad that someone died?

Concrete examples:

1) When Hugo Chavez died, I posted the new on WoV under the title "Cancer finally does something good."

2) I broke the news of Fidel Castro's death with "Good news, everyone!"
