OMG. I never thought this day would come. I never thought anyone was good enough to do it. No, not even you. But you did. You did it, man. With this one quote you have become like the Michael Jordan of Fattyness. You now own the sport. Outright. You have just posted "The Dumbest Thing Fatty Ever Posted." Take a bow, my brother. I am in awe before you.
Oh, I'm going to have a field day with you on this debate. You take things way too seriously. Off to bed. Will respond tomorrow. Isn't there a specific Irish Pub you like to frequent? I've no problem debating on someone's home turf.
Is this not a public forum? I do not doubt that you are fast. We already know that you are an official genius and that you are awesome. Why would I doubt your speed?
Forget about the kids for a second ... why would you consider marrying anyone who thinks you're going to go to Hell because you're Jewish?
Dude! I don't have time to go drinking with you! And I don't even really go drinking anymore! Let's just do it here! I can't wait until the next time we're both in a bar! Or whatever. I can't be greedy. You've given me more entertainment here than I've had with a thousand TJ's. Oh, and I don't frequent Rudyards (or any bar) anymore. But it is characteristically hilarious that you thought it was an "Irish" Pub.
Sure, Fatty. Next time we're both in a bar, you're on. No, I do not mind that "challenge." Tee hee hee hee.
You should really be more tolerant, durvasa. Those people feel compassionately that he's going to Hell!
Oh, I wouldn't. I've never dated a really religious Christian girl, and I doubt one would date me. (However, they are still usually at least a little more religious than I am.) They always seem to have no problem with my being Jewish. I guess I just have the fear of their Sunday school teachers (and whoever else) putting these images in their heads. But then again, you raise a good point I haven't even thought of. If my wife doesn't think I am going there, then we can easily convey that message to our children. Somehow, I think you accidentally quelled my fears a little bit .
Not by accident. All part of the plan. Your spouse probably won't believe you're going to Hell. I presume you don't believe you're going to Hell. Between the two of you, I think you can convince your kids that you'll be just fine.
The way I understand it sorry mate, is that ALL practicing Christians DO believe everyone who hasnt 'given their life to Jesus' is going to a real Hell with a real Devil...it is part of the foundation of the Christian belief system. Some are just more willing to discuss it than others - likely because they realise it does nothing to help the cause, and indeed makes the whole 'God is love' concept seem totally ricockulous.
I think there a good number of Christians that don't even believe in a Hell. Plenty of open-minded ones out there.
I'm not sure how those 'Christians' classify themselves then. I'd like to hear their thoughts on what happens to 'non christians' when they die. Do they believe everyone goes to heaven? If so, what's the point of them being a Christian.
My brother (Muslim) is married to a Christian (Orthodox I think?).. They have a child now. I'm similarly very confused and concerned for my nephew because my brother does not practice Islam. I doubt that my brother's wife will give my nephew the knowledge to choose his own religion once he comes "of age". I would be fine with my brother taking a hands-off approach, but I unfortunately I believe he will take that approach just to cement his position and with total disregard that his wife will not take a hands-off approach. I wish they could find a balance. Not sure what to do about all that. I think about it every damn day.
