I said thinking there was an afterlife with a heaven or hell was childish thinking and in my opinion it is. It is the same as believing in the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus or the tooth fairy or any of the many Greek or Egyptian or Sumerian etc gods or goddesses.
I know what you said. You accused her of childish beliefs. You then acted all upset when she responded emotionally.
Also if you truly think it is reasonable to compare belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ with belief in the Easter Bunny then I don't think your own reasoning qualifies as anything other than childish itself.
I'm comparing the belief in any god with the childishness of believing in the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, etc. But hey, you believe what you want to believe. Whatever gets you through the day and night.
So, you think I'm raping your mind? How about reading the Bible from cover to cover and analyzing it. A friend of mine did this and he was a devout Christian and a deacon in his church. Most people don't read the Bible from cover to cover. When he did, he discovered that most of it was a complete farce and an allegory and it was not to be taken literally. He is now an atheist. I think you protest too much. I think your worldview has been shaken up and you don't like the feeling. So, you resort to attacking me because you don't know what else to do. That's pretty sad.
You are attacking someone’s belief. THAT is personal. You must acknowledge that. This is why we are in this mess. Let people have an opinion. Enough. Turn around, walk away. I respect Margie’s opinion and I respect yours. Bye.
thank you sirka, for running interference for me, if it is me you're defending. i respect Margie Chism's opinion too. kris has me confused with her so he's coming after me. he just won't stop.
My daughter and I were talking about this the other day. Doesn’t matter WHAT it is these days everyone needs to tell the other they are WRONG or whatever. If it isn’t hurting anyone then who cares. Leave them alone. It’s all we want: to be left alone.
I'm not going after anyone. As I said earlier, everybody has an opinion. You're entitled to yours. Margie C is entitled to hers and I'm entitled to mine. I don't need anyone running interference for me. I can take up for myself. And I am a she not a he.
I wasn't attacking anyone. I have an opinion. Margie has an opinion. Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one and most of the time they stink. You don't need to run interference for either one of us. Feel free to walk away. That's your prerogative.
that's nice, your friend read something and told you he thinks of it. guess what, i'm not any kind of religious or believer in anything but my best friends are and i respect them and i respect and love whatever thought processes or whatever pathways brought them to believe and think as they do. I don't arrogantly stand above and call them childish just because i don't see it their way.
I'm not the enemy, Margie. I didn't willfully murder anyone as Gates and Fauci did. So save your righteous anger for those two along with many others. You were the one who brought up Revelations. Evidently you have read Revelations and agree with what is prophesized there. I do not. I think it is childish to believe in any sorts of gods. We should have evolved beyond that by now.
i checked! her name is Margie Chisolm. i am not her. i see now why you're confused. sometimes people have the same name. that can be confusing. don't confabulate, kris.
Don't resort to ad hominem attacks.
Why are you so bitter? Maybe without God life is bitter. After all, you’re just a bag of chemicals, meaningless, soon forgotten. So sad.
I'm not bitter. I'm a realist.
Hmmm. Didn't you first describe her as "childish"?

i'll resort to whatever i feel like.
Lol! Sounds to me like your world view is being threatened so you're having a tantrum. I'm not the enemy.
oh shut your pie hole, mind rapist.

since when did i "bring up" revelations, as interesting as that subject is. wtf.never said a word about it. get your fax straight.
Yes, you did. You brought up Revelations chapters 19, 20, 21, and 22. And it is facts, Margie not fax. Go back and read your earlier posts.
i checked! her name is Margie Chisolm. i am not her. i see now why you're confused. sometimes people have the same name. that can be confusing. don't confabulate, kris.
Sorry 'bout that, margie. I love that $10 word confabulate!
