I have answered your questions. You apparently did not like or could not understand the answers.

Please answer my questions in simple English.

Do atheists go to hell?

Thumbs down

I agree: Booty is a troll.

To come to this forum, where English is the primary language, and then say that any error in your logic is due to a language barrier is mere cowardice on your part.

What it says to me is that your arguments are so flimsy that you don't dare try them out on anybody who speaks your native language, because (gasp!) you couldn't fall back on the old "well, if my argument doesn't make sense, it's due to the language barrier" ploy.

Why do people refuse things that are given for free? It's easy: ask the Trojans the same question. (Those that weren't butchered by the Trojan Horse ploy, that is.)

In other words, just because you claim it's a gift doesn't make it so, Joe, and if you can't differentiate between groundless fear and caution, you've led a very sheltered life.

Anyway, yes, I think you're a troll. You're asking inflamatory questions, but refuse to answer questions when posed to you, waving your hands, and saying nebulous things like, "You don't really want me to answer that, do you?"

Gee, if they asked the question, perhaps they wanted to see your answer, no? (this question was rhetorical, however.)

If you think you can close the communication barrier, then do so. If you can't, stop wasting our time with sophistry and condescension.

ROFL! What he's saying here is that the only way you can possibly understand what the hell he's saying is if you already happen to agree with him!!

Booty, Indifference is not being spiteful, but impatient. Surely he is not the first to give you this response, given your coy refusal to speak plainly?

"It would appear it was training initially, of course now that you are aware of an alternative it becomes a conscious choice. Sad, I will pray for you."

What by Odin's Hoary Beard is this 'It' you are referring to?

And 'conscious choice' as opposed to what exactly?

When I mentioned training, it was as an example of an instance where I would endure some suffering for a good end. People choose to do that all the time.

But that is very different from 'choosing' human suffering in general!

And 'now that you are aware of an alternative' is total BS. If the alternate is 'The Original Scientology' (which is what Christianity is) then that is no alternate at all.

If the choice is between Christian make-believe and reality, then by the many limbs of Vishnu I choose reality!

Hey guys, let's have fun with Booty. From now on, only answer his posts Booty-Style! Whenever he asks a question, answer with a question. Whenever he does his hand-waving evasion, do one of your own! LOL!
