Is kindness to Jesus, an honor, for His Honor?

People, even I, have been so cruel to Jesus. I have repented, and been forgiven, and I am calling people here to, as well. Unrepentant sin, is cruelty, to Jesus, who laid down His Life, and Rose on the third day, that we may have life, in Him. Jesus asked me, to post this, so don't get mad at me. Neither one of us, want to hurt you. Jesus, wants you, to live, in Him, through repentant faith. Time is running out before the Rapture, and eternity, could happen, at any time. Jesus does not play, when it comes to eternity. Please repent, today. You are LOVED!

People, even I, have been so cruel to Jesus.

Why are you being mean to Jesus, Dana? He just wants to forgive your sins.

Side: Yes.

Why waste a life living in a fantasy when reality is much more refreshing? There's no afterlife, no Jesus, no god. Don't waste your life believing what is essentially mythology.

Side: No.

Life is never wasted, living, for Jesus. He created, everything.........................................................................................

Side: No.

How do you know he created everything? How do you know that your idea of creation is right, but the ancient Greeks or Egyptians is wrong?

Side: Yes.

There's no afterlife

You have no evidence of that, which makes it even more stupid when you pretend to understand what science is.

Side: Yes.

You have no evidence of that,

You are shifting the burden of proof. If you make the claim you are responsible for providing evidence. If I make the claim that I caught a fairy in my back yard. You then say: "fairies don't exists". Then I respond: "You have no evidence of that". You see how ridiculous that is since I'm the only one that can provide verifiable evidence. Same applies with claims of the afterlife. A simple question that you can ask is: "Where is the afterlife located?", and see that the arguments made don't rely on verifiable evidence.

which makes it even more stupid when you pretend to understand what science is.

That's not a good argument. You have to be more throughout than that and explain what I don't understand about science, and how to relates to my main points.

Side: No.

In what ways, exactly, is reality 'much more refreshing'?

If belief pleases the believer then how is believing a waste?

Seems to me like you're laboring under the fantasies that existence is positive and that there's a way to 'succeed' at existing. I'm not at all persuaded...

Side: Yes.

I was being facetious, I understand that there's more nuance to this topic.

Have you seed the movie Bubble Boy? This boy lives his entire life in a bubble believing that if he came out of it, he would die. He denied himself so many experiences because of that fear. It is only when he leaves the bubble that he truly starts living. He had a false believe about the world that impeded him from doing things he wanted to do. Well.. that's religion. If a believe in God is false, that means your morals, actions, politics, even they way you treat others is based on a false believe.

Establishing validity for not only God but the version of God someone ascribes to seems very important. This is where it all falls apart because at the point you start asking for evidence, you are told: "You find God through faith, believe without knowing". That's at the core of many religions. It's not only a way to believe in God, but to justify any believe in anything.

You takes the stories of the bible, koran, and torah. They are all part of a mythology that share a lot of features with pagan and dead religions, there's ancient writings that show that ancient Jews were polytheists. Evidence that the torah was written by 4 different authors that modified each other's text. That the new testament was modified time and time again after it was originally written.

So at this point to can take and claim that your version of believing is the right one, or just realize that these are believe systems that were created by people that had ancient ideas about how the world worked. Which by today standards... were very wrong.

Side: Yes.

We don't believe in a vacuum, dopey. You interact with other people and your beliefs affect your actions, which affect others.

Seems to me like you're laboring under the fantasies

Seems to me that the most delusional people in life are generally to be found calling others delusional.

How can you be kind to someone who has been dead for 2000 years?

That's a genuine question so I would expect a realistic answer.

He must have died again at some point though, right? Otherwise he'd still be here.
