Thunderbolt,

i know you read my posts. sometimes i wonder if you do, but then you'll reply to one of them, so i know you are really there.

i want to ask you something:

do you realize that i post what I do, and believe as i believe, so that Mankind may enjoy a better, happier, more peaceful existance? do you realise that? that i only want to make a positive difference in people's lives?

do you really, deep down in your heart, believe that I am an evil person?

you are reasonable guy, you can see how i can hardly be regarded as "evil" if i just wanna help people don't you?

"The atheists are for the most part imprudent and misguided scholars who reason badly who, not being able to understand the Creation, the origin of evil, and other difficulties, have recourse to the hypothesis the eternity of things and of inevitability....."
Voltaire

 

[Madison]

"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."
- Blaise Pascal

Anyone outside of the Risen Christ is evil. First you must understand the word "evil". It doesn't mean just rape, murder, ect. but rather, any sin. Good luck to you.

but what if i am a really top guy? i help out my friends when they need me, i love and care for my family, i help the sick and wounded to heal, i open a business that employs people, so they can have money to spend, i never break any laws. i do all this, but i don't worship god. are you trying to tell me jesus would still consider me "evil"? no way, how could he?
