I am no prophet, and I agree with you 100%.
You can’t see the obvious.
I was about to say the same thing about you, and you beat me to it.
Unconditional love is what God gives to you and would like you to give to others. All the rest just doesn’t matter because you are eternal whether you know it or not.
I see your totally useless “You are not your body, so you are not really in pain” bullshit. Pain is real. Bruises are real. Rape is real. Death is real.
Yes, children can love while being abused, it is called unconditional love. Adults can also if they work at it.
Jesus did when He asked forgiveness for those who were killing Him.
When you supposedly worked in hospice, did you tell patients that they were perfectly safe and that they weren’t really in any pain?
No-it is called brainwashing and abuse.
Well you missed on the last one, death does not exist. We are all eternal.
I would think you would be pleased with that.
Something about these types of unsubstantiated platitudes, repeated ad nauseum, that makes me feel the opposite of love.
I held their hand until they died. If they asked questions I answered them.
I did not find any atheists on their death beds, all believed in a better life to come.
Except that I always consider the source when evaluating information.
I believe they have been substantiated.
I can understand why you discount religious doctrine, I do also, but why you
run away from love I don’t understand. There is nothing to fear.
OK, fair enough, I don’t expect you to believe me. But almost 80% of all the people in the world believe they will live after death. It is not exactly something new.
You believe a lot of things, most of which cannot be substantiated.
Cite for that statistic?
The majority of people who live in Korea believe that if you let a fan run in a closed room you’re in it will kill you. Fan Death, it’s called. They sell fans with timers on them for it.
That means it’s correct right? Cuz a lot of people believe it, it must be correct, right? Just like your thing?
Death exists. Want proof? Just ask Abraham Lincoln.
I discount your doctrine, first and foremost.
We have been through this many times.
People have always believed in an afterlife even the cavemen.
But those who have experienced it know even more and there are millions of them.
Why is that so hard to believe.
This word you keep using, love, I do not think it means what you think it means. Do you mean agape? Eros? Phileo? Storge?
If you understand why we discount religious doctrine, then why don’t you understand why we discount your religious doctrine of love?
