You are in violation of Paul's words and only serving as a clanging cymbal. And you will remain so until you listen to Paul and having charity: actually seeing and loving the individuals you are talking to.

And have you ever met a child who's current life is horrendous that the only reason they can sleep is love & hope of Christ? Once again, your blantently disregarding MANY possible situations.

*sigh*

Again, you're dancing around with silly questions, rather than just saying "Yes, I'm a human being with beliefs, now let's talk about this productive point _____" I'm really being forced to conclude that you are either trolling and/or extremely self unaware.

Except that you DO have beliefs. We just went over that. I'm really being forced to conclude that you are either trolling and/or extremely self unaware.

Then your posts here (talking to individuals) are complete waste of time. Remember Paul's words: 1 Corin 13 "1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and...

Mary, before you can address who should be baptized or symbolism/literal debate, you first need to address the *why* a person is to be baptized. The *why* is the critical question. Is a person is to be baptized to address Adam's sins? Or is a person's baptism about their own sins and their...

No, I'm not trying to "bring you to Jesus". You're an intelligent human being that can do investigations and make decisions on your own. I ma trying to have a productive conversation though. Recaping the last bit of this thread: you've complained that people share their beliefs, and stated...

Honestly, JellyJam DOES have a belief system. Her/his continual refusal to acknowledge it's existence is likely the product of self awareness (I'm trying to be as respectful as possible when I say that, I apologize if that doesn't convey). Either that or just trolling.

Once again, you are expressing a belief system here. A belief system is part of who you are. Your personal one may not include anything about Christ, but it is still a belief system.

Except you do have a belief system. A person believes their loved ones care for them. That certain things are right and certain things are wrong. That certain things are factual and certain things are bunk. Etc. You have expressed your beliefs on here repeatedly.

You have assigned definitions to the words "assumption", "fact", "belief". You have categorized various things into this category, with an attached values system. You then act off of this categorization and values system. And then you prostylize in favor of your particular system. It's a...

^That is a belief system. Again, please move on from these super hypocritical arguments.

Newsflash: you yourself hold lots of beliefs. Please stop with this transparent hypocrisy.

Or rather beliefs you* don't personally like. (*The "you" here applying to every individual). If you* personally don't like beleif X, then that place/person which teaches it is horrible and evil and abusive. Just because you don't like the belief. What is really is is you just disliking a...

Please find me an ideological (atheist, theist, political, social, etc) camp which could not be described as a "belief centred factory". Send a person to school- you are sending them to have specific beliefs impressed upon them. Turn on the TV- you are streaming to have specific beliefs...

Exactly. Atheists can be just as guilty at this as theists, so there's really zero point going after the "it's all because of religion" red herring.

Are you willing to address the same question about an athiest who uses a podium to abuse people? In my experience, most atheist posing the question you asked are not. They blame faith as being abusive, and deny that a faithless person can be just as abusive. In reality, abuse is not caused by...

This question is completely dependent on how a person defines the word "works".

And I respect your right to believe that. I totally disagree with your stance and find to be harmful, but I 100% respect your right to believe it.
