Non-believers don't fear that believers are right, but truly, believers fear that they themselves might be wrong!!

If you could grasp the concept of LOGIC, you might KNOW that believers have no reason in the world to fear they may be wrong. If they are wrong, they will cease to exist upon death. If non-believers are wrong, they will burn in hell or WORSE. So, who SHOULD be fearing?

Wrong. There are those who fully admit that they just don't know.

That pretty much covers the human race.

Actually, that is sort of a good point, if indeed there would be a hell created by a creator. That is one thing I doubt very seriously, that a being with the ability to create life would create a place where some of his creation would suffer eternally.

Well, that tells us how ignorant about Christianity you are. Hope you enjoy Hell.

Fear is a powerful emotion. Indeed it is, makes reasonable thoughts take flight for lands unknown when "maybe" sitting tight might be a more sane choice. I don't see Artemis as calling for compromise, but for a way to see those who feel differently in a different light. Yes, compromise seems to be an ugly word these days. You might be quite right about those nonbelievers who fear also h**e. However, leaving an opening, a place to perch, if just for a place to safely exchange/acknowledge the differences....can it hurt?

I was looking at it objectively, not my personal opinions, and beliefs. The " I don't know crowd is probably the human race.

Do you think all who are not "ignorant about Christianity" would automatically agree with you? Are you sincere and honest when you say, " Hope you enjoy Hell"? is it possible for a Christian to be a h**eful and dishonest? Are you h**eful and dishonest?

Like II said, her need to gloat is a contradiction of her proclaimed belief.

Absolutely NOT! I do, however, think ignorance abounds when people make declarations about Christianity and Christians that simply are NOT true. How about you? Guess no one reads my frequent comment (the most recent time being on THIS thread)that I AM NOT A CHRISTIAN, not proud of that, but t***h IS t***h, no matter how some people simply cannot grasp that silly concept.

I asked you some specific questions which you artfully dodged. Do you think it is dishonest to ignore questions when they threaten to make you think? I think you are well able to protect yourself from thinking, so take some risks and answer my questions as well as your present fears, terrors, and insecurities allow you to.
