Darya: I have friends of several religions.....DDN: Great. Have you told them yet that they are going to burn in hell forever when they die?
Darya (cont):....I do not attach labels to these people based on their religion.......
DDN: Erm...yes you do. By virtue of being a christian (which you claim to be) you agree that these people are "hell bound". Is there a more severe or judgemental label than this? Are you suggesting that you don't believe that these people are going to hell when they die? Then your thinking is diametrically opposed to christianity and you are therefore not a christian.
Darya (cont):...I do not attach labels to these people based on their religion. You seemingly are,...
DDN: Well...YOU call it "attaching labels" and I call it "discernment". Its not MY fault that you and Shaun can't make sense out of your own belief systems. I'm just telling you (in no uncertain terms) that this is what I am OBSERVING. Yes, I'm sort of an asshole, but I don't think you're being PREJUDICE to make that observation. Prejudice means to PRE JUDGE or judge prematurely. Is it premature to make judgements about my character after having interfaced with me first hand? Of course not. Nor is it PREjudice of ME to say that Shaun has a logic allergy (to coin a new disorder) after having spent ample time debating the merits of Christianity with him. At any rate, you are "attaching labels" ALSO by labeling me as a "label attatcher".
I'd like to be more civil, but I probably wouldn't even be having this discussion with either of you if it weren't for the highly offensive and uncontested axiom that everybody is going to burn in hell forever except Christians. No WONDER you guys take such a beating from the rest of society. How could you expect anything else?
Darya (cont):…..You seemingly are, and before you point an example out to me of evil in Christianity let me tell you that evil comes from all walks of life and so does good.
DDN: So good AND evil come from EVERYWHERE. Ok. I agree. Then my question to you is this:
If Christianity produces both good AND evil, how is Christianity more worthy of our devotion than anything ELSE in the universe (since everything ELSE in the universe produces good AND evil also)? Does Christianity produce LESS evil than anything else? Or would you say that a belief system’s worthiness is not dependent upon how much good or evil it produces
None.
