What do I do?!</strong>

Salam Alikum Booty,

I just wanted to step in here and point out something.
Though you have said that it is these infidels who have chosen hell, Booty, it is you who has chosen hell. You could, by reading the Qu'ran and renouncing your belief in Jesus Christ as your saviour, avoid hell. If you read the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad you will realize your error.

The choice is yours, Booty.
I hope you will make the right choice.
Unfortunatly, you and I cannot agree on this, because our cultures differ so much. I can only hope that you educate yourself on this very important difference, then perhaps we can converse about the glory of Allah.

Allahu Akbar
I will pray for you.

Why, that's no choice at all!!

Believe with no good reason to, or be threatened with torture. Your god is no more than an extortionist. You cannot force love at the point of gun, and love requires 2.

You, sir, have shown yourself to be a snake oil salesman and i have nothing further to say to you if that is your idea of a 'choice'.

You can choose to go to hell or spend eternity with people like Booty.

Remind me again which one is hell?

Guys, as much fun as this has been, I need to get some writing done tonight before I go to sleep, and I have to get up early to work out.

Perhaps Booty will have explained how my argument was circular by then.

Booty, if you're feeling put upon, remember we atheists didn't go to a religious site to prove to you guys why there is no god. You came here, to an atheist site, to prove that there is.

Or to put it in your own terms: we are the master of this particular house.

Good night, all!

Jeff

A chara
As I will pray for you as well. Doesn't your faith believe we pray to the same God? If so then perhaps you would join me in talking with these infidels as well?

Slainté

You know I really hate to correct you again, but as I said, I was invited here. Invited here from a Christian site by one of your own from this house.

Of course it looks like you might be losing him, so perhaps it does not count.

Good night and God bless you Jeff.
