    Why am I not a Christian?

    But you didn't know at the time. You were simply afraid and didn't want to go to hell. It is true, I don't know what the truth is. I only know that I don't know yet. Maybe someday that will change. What makes you think anyone can be saved through fear? Do you really believe the nature of your...

    The Iran situation

    Iran is responding to the attack by closing the strait of Hormuz with it's navy. As Marco Rubio has said, it would be suicidal for the Iranians. As John Bolton has said in the past, if Iran were to ever do this, the U.S. navy would be ordered to engage and destroy all Iranian vessels in the...

    If Christianity is true

    Yes.

    Why am I not a Christian?

    Yeah. That's right. So now you can walk away and pretend like you did a good deed. Did it ever occur to you to ask yourself if what this person was saying was true? You did it save your own skin, by your own admission. There's nothing admirable about that. If the preacher had been preaching...

    The Iran situation

    It's not that they suck, it's just that they're not the Red Army of 1945. Plus, Ukraine is using western equipment, which is superior to what the Russians are using. Finally, it takes time to conquer an entire country. It took the Red Army several years to make it to Berlin. I think they would...

    Why am I not a Christian?

    Why does it always come down to this? Do you get some kind of perverse pleasure out of imagining people suffering in hell, with the weeping and gnashing of teeth? Become a Christian out of fear? No. That's not genuine. That's no good reason to believe something.

    The Iran situation

    Yeah, you could make the case that NATO encroaching on Russia's territory, and Joe Biden's desire to admit Ukraine into NATO, were two primary drivers for the aggressive Russian response. But such theories are considered taboo in the West. I'm not worried about Russia. Putin has his hands full...

    Why am I not a Christian?

    You Christians make people mad because you're arrogant and you look down your noses at everyone else. Even other Christians that you disagree with. Well, I used to hang out with Christians quite a lot many years ago. I guess you could say I'm a victim of circumstance. I enjoy talking about...

    The Iran situation

    No. I just think there should be a formal declaration of war if we're going down that path. When other countries do this, like Russia, we say that it's a violation of international law. Which is true. But when we do it, or when Israel does it, the United States acts as if international laws...

    Why am I not a Christian?

    No, I've never been saved.

    Why am I not a Christian?

    No. I think you misunderstand me. I'm saying that, even if I were to be saved, I couldn't then turn around and carry on with a life of sin and call myself sinless.

    The Iran situation

    What if the body doesn't exist anymore? Many people are cremated. Are you saying the soul cannot exist without the body?

    Why am I not a Christian?

    The blood would in fact be good enough to save me. But it would not absolve me of sin.

    The Iran situation

    But no human souls?

    The Iran situation

    I'm curious. Do you think heaven is then empty right now?

    The Iran situation

    I'll bet John McCain is smiling in hell. He used to sing "bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran" when he was alive.

    The Iran situation

    Yes, it does. Primarily because now no one really can define what war is. Were these strikes an act of war? Well, I guess it depends on who you ask. A declaration of war is far more concrete and much easier to understand. It's also really absurd that the United States feels it can violate...

    The Iran situation

    And no declaration of war from the Congress. Iran will just rebuild the facilities in a year or two and we'll be right back where we started. That's why Bibi wants regime change, but Trump is reluctant to go that far. No doubt his military advisors have told him how much of a disaster a ground...

    Why am I not a Christian?

    You're dodging the question. It is most telling.
