Yeah, I can see why they might take issue with that. Why call yourself a Christian then?

No. I'm afraid of being bamboozled by Christians. It's sometimes difficult to tell who's genuine and who isn't. Since we last spoke, there have been some changes. Long story short, I basically spoke to God, like I'm speaking with you now. I laid it all out and said what I needed to say. At the...

Do you think technology and life being easier in the West has contributed to the disbelief in God? I always find that when things aren't going well, especially health wise, my mind tends to go back to God. The thing is, this impending doom I've been feeling... maybe it's something serious. I...

So... every soul dies upon physical death? Why do you believe that? But you don't believe it. I'll admit, I'm not well versed in the prophecies about Jesus. It's something I have to study. But how could Jesus not know if he is God? He clearly knew things that others did not while he walked...

But if we remain dead, regardless of what we believe when we're alive, then where did his soul go? Most Christians I've spoken with over the years believe we either go to heaven or hell upon death. There can't be. But the bible makes many claims about what will happen in the future. Do you...

Because it would appear that the book is closed on him. As much as it appears that it is closed on the dinosaurs. The atheist is simply accepting what he's seeing with his own eyes. Only because there is no evidence of a second death. Then most of the world will be in for a surprise. But...

Well then there's really no difference between the atheist point of view on death and yours. Except that you believe the Messish will return one day to bring all of these dead people back to life. What if he doesn't? He hasn't so far. I guess we all just remain dead, eh?

You believe everyone is still dead and waiting for judgment? There are no souls in heaven or hell currently?

I'm often amazed at how so many people go through life not questioning the nature of reality, and their own existence. I see this on both sides of the spiritual divide. Believers and non-believers alike. I was watching a video earlier. It was showing people digging up artifacts from WW2. They...

Nah. I'm still here. :p

To you as well. I hope you had a good one. :)

Hello, Fran. It is good to hear from you, too. I hope all is well. :)

Rock, metal, blues, some of the older country artists. Orchestral music as well. The kind that sings to the soul.

Its nihilism. It's the most logical conclusion if God doesn't exist. Atheists that say "make your own meaning" are fooling themselves. There is no meaning to any of it without there being something more.

That's true. I have been treated well by Christians as well. I wouldn't rule it out. Honestly, times when I don't even need proof. I just know. Things happen. I notice patterns. It's like someone's removing things from my life and trying to get my attention. Easiest way is through music. It's...

I'm no longer interested.

I dont know. It was at a Christian forum that I was at, one that was good until a bunch of hardliners took over and ruined the place. It used to be place where people could talk freely. We didn't have to agree on everything, but we respected each other.

Well, thank you. I do appreciate your efforts. But quoting scripture isn't going to change my mind. I cannot discern what a true believer is from one who isn't. I rely on believers to stay true to their word. When they stab me in the back after I call them friend, then there is no redemption...

No. In fact, I've been spending my time getting drunk. I do appreciate you thinking of me, however. Christians have treated me very poorly and I don't particularly care for it. Not you, but others. It's just made me reconsider my positions on things. I don't want to be treated like yesterday's...

Critique itself?
