Thats a case of the loudest voice being heard, rather than the most popular opinion. You hear those people because the 99% of the other christians out there are leaving you alone.

Yet you tarnish all of them with the same brush with comments like "Now if all you Christian types stop to try make the rest of us live by YOUR norms and values you won't ever hear from us again".

I suggest in future you stick to the topics raised by the posters of a christian viewpoint rather than your preconceptions of such posters.

You following the thread about Dutch politics? The party Cyber is advocating just wants to do what I'm afraid of. And there are a lot of them...

And compared to the 1 billion plus on the planet? IS everyone who supports them christian? Were all those who followed LePen far right French National Front activists?

You religious people never could do theology properly. You get so engaged in your steadfast beliefs, while we can dissect and analyse your myths and legends in a much more constructive way.

[SlowwHand]

Yeah. Uhhhh, right.

You do not know the difference between advocating and supporting, do you?

Really really short sighted in a discussion if you can't split those two, I'm sure, but I can't help noticing that.
I'm very keen on the "don't push morals through others troat" issue.

you say that I did say those things.

We should not force people to live according to a Christian world view.


We should force them to live according to an atheist world view! Gee, Can't you guys figure that out?

[SlowwHand]

Lincoln, does the prospect of an Atheist burning in Hell bother you?
Am I bad because it doesn't bother me?

I look at it like this.
I'm no mechanic. It's not my fault/problem if someone has a crappy running car.
I'm no minister, so....

He can't be token seriously, not even if he wants to!
And indeed, Civie might come close!
Nobody will ever take him serious.

You only say I'm a troll because you are a bigot against catholics

How do you dissect and analyse an idea such as "Blessed are the peacemakers", or "Love thy neighbour"?

Stories get twisted and mis-conveyed, but the message is as clear as ever. It matters not to me if Jesus was born via immaculate conception, or whether the wise men were led to his place of birth - possibly in Bethlehem - by a star, comet or other celestial body. To me that is padding. All I care about is the message he brought, and what it represents.

Do you care about the life of Darwin when reading about evolution?

[SlowwHand]

Darwin is a myth. A fabrication of a lunatic's mind.

It should bother you. As a Christian you have a duty to try and save us from perdition. You are your brother's keeper.

Ok, so the prosepct of an athiest burning in hell doesn't bother you. Reasonably understandable - by the definition of athiest, that's what's going to happen.

The more important question is whether you should be bothered that someone will burn in hell because they are an athiest, whereas you had the opportunity to convince them otherwise.

Does that bother you? It should. It's a central part of Christian faith and living that we should tell others. Ok, maybe you don't have to shove your morality down their throat - but make sure they know you're Christian, and make sure you do all you can to convice them to become Christian if they seem to be willing.

Well I take the view that the way you live is more important than what you believe.

Is Gandhi now in hell because he wasn't christian? I doubt it. You can die in complete ignorance of christianity and still be christian if you display the virtuous qualities of compassion etc.
