LeAnn Rimes did the cheating. No second chances for her. Also, her second husband(the one she cheated with) dumped his first wife. He’s out, too.

So you allow your favorites to be sinners and condemn the rest to Hell. I didn’t know you got a promotion. Congrats.

Exactly. Just like when someone commits suicide! 🙂 (Which is what I was taught in school – it is ultimately up to God to decide, and that we as humans can never say for sure who is saved and who isn’t. But then, you’re not Catholic)

If you go by the Bible, I’m pretty sure the answer is yes. That’s why a lot of us don’t care about what’s in the Bible and don’t think nasty comments are acceptable just because someone says “God bless you” a hundred times after making them.

So, another indication that you are just making it up as you go.

Yes.

No, I am a rational person that recognizes that if an artist is attracting your sort of attention, I’m probably not interested.

Repeating it over and over, with smilies, ad finium, ad nausem is force. Read up on torture techniques.

So, me saying I don’t want you to keep telling me that I’m being blessed by your god is war inducing?

Example number 7,405,730 that you are making it up as you go along.

Kind of inconsistent behavior from someone who puts three extra carriage returns at the end of every post.

I don’t make things up as I go along with anything and I don’t force anyone to read what I write. What you read is your choice and no one else’s and if you don’t want to see anything that I have to say at all, just put me on ignore.

I never mean to come across as nasty and I don’t believe that the Lord would want a person to stay in a cheating filled marriage.

Its not about my favorites. I liked Mindy too. I am just saying that she took one life and then another. And yeah she very well could have asked the Lord to forgive her for killing herself, but what about killing the dog? Did she ask the Lord to forgive her of that?

I agree with everything that you say here, but I still have my beliefs. I am not saying that people who do themselves in deserve to go to Hell, I am just saying that Hell is where I believe that they end up.

God bless you four always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Why would you want to believe that? Why not believe in the infinite mercy we hear God is capable of giving?

^^^ Because life is the most precious thing that the Lord has ever given us and for anyone to just throw it away as if it wasn’t worth a thing. How would you feel if you gave something that you thought was precious to a person and then they just went and threw it into the trash?

A real Christian would practice [forgiveness](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgiveness).  
Something I expect the Christian God would have an abundance of.

DNFTT won’t ever work. What might work is having moderators being more willing to stop these trolls earlier.

God is not a real, walking, breathing, pissing, shitting person – however, if I’m mistaken, please provide me with an address where I can meet him or her in person.

Otherwise – God is not a real person.

Your imaginary version is, well; imaginary and based on a believe system that is interpreted by humans, defined by humans, made by humans and enforced by humans and as valid as the “Invisible Pink Unicorn” or Santa Claus.

And if your God is as picky, selective, narrow minded, bitchy and idiotic as you present him – you can keep him – I stick with my one.

Hmm… I don’t see any reference to gods, deities, supernatural entities, or anything similar in that definition.

And I agree - but I’m pretty sure your Bible and much of your religion say something else. So until you work that out, maybe pipe down about people being damned.
