It is better that we discuss our differences here than on a battlefield.
And if we can enlighten this person to different views, he will be more capable of walking his current chosen path. If nothing else, it will make him a more rounded Christian.
That can't be a bad thing.

Normally I would agree with you Xexon that is if Abel was open minded .... he nor Buzz are interested in our views or beliefs, only changing us into clones of them, saving us. They are on a personal crusade to save as many of us as they can. They are not interested in any kind of alternative enlightenment or any other kinds of truths ....
Og has given them numerous opportunities to see other "truths" many, many times and they simply say ... that is not what the bible says ... usually Xexon I would agree with you, and have, but not with either of them ....
they do not wish to look at anything from a different perspective .... only berate us for not seeing their beliefs thru the tunnel vision that they live.
"trolls" are simply thick headed individuals who do nothing more than take up time on threads .... sometimes it's fun to poke them with "verbal" sticks but then they quote scripture and threaten us with hell ... they say the same things over and over again with nothing new to add ..... same old garbage we always hear. You are correct many of us come from very, very Christian backgrounds and have decided that it is not for us. We did not come by this decision lightly and they mock us as if we were children who had not thought this through, had at times not agonized over all our childhood conditioning and in some case lost people we loved over our decisions .... we didn't wake up one day and say .... Ya know what .... I don't think I'm gonna believe in .... god, allah, yaweh or whomever ... and then lay back down a take a little nap. Many of us took years and years to come this far, others not so long but none the less ... they speak to us as if we make these decisions on a whim .... how little they know of most of us ....
Nah, Xexon, follow some of Buzz's rhetoric .... he is ready to bear arms against the government if necessary and fight against gay rights, education and enlightenment of our young people so they will not grow into open minded individuals ..... they are christian soldiers and if you think they embrace peace and a "live and let life" philosophy, then I believe you are mistaken .... there is no christian love only christian condemnation ....
Have you ever heard of the term "cut bait"? that's the best thing for these two ... no amount of education or information will ever enlighten them ... so be it ... as long as you guys like beating your heads on brick walls then you are arguing with the correct two fellows .... but hey, it's your bilateral carpal tunnel and your head on the wall .... so have at it.
I hope you can open their eyes ...... I just won't hold my breath ... all the best Xexon, Deb
