And why should it be accepted as so without proof? Particularly when there are so many people that make false claims of the same nature?
Atheists reject God without *proof*. Why should we be expected to take their word for anything as enough? It seems they want to have their cake and eat it too; holding others to standards of proof and behavior they will not meet themselves.
If you truly thought it “a violation of privacy” why would it be offered as a defence of some sort?
And how many times have we been mocked and ridiculed and lied about for not wishing to reveal personal information that would violate our privacy and compromise our screen name? We've been accused of not being Christians, of being JW'S, Mormons, muslims, all manner of stuff for the very same reason. But when the shoe is on the other foot, well, that's a different story.
Enjoy the sauce!
It was probably pretty bitter going down.
Sometimes . . . the best thing to do with a bad taste in the mouth is to rinse with water well then have glass of OJ and forget it as thoroughly as one can.
Praise God for the relief, personally.
I hope everyone confesses, repents and makes Heaven home . . .
But God will certainly not force Heaven on anyone hell-bent in bitterness to live otherwise.
If you attack the Church, the least you could do is say what denomination, confession, etc. you belong to or follow - without identifying city, etc. - out of fairness for corresponding comparison and criticism. I think most, if not all, on here have done so. Are you willing to do that?
