I'm looking at the source, I'm not putting a label on anyone one part of the human
condition! Half of the mean spirited conversations on this board are people who
hold to one point of view letting another know all of faults that they see in them,
yet the faults if not all are shared by every group of people, because they are
people issues not matters of race or beliefs. Compassion is owing up to ones own
faults getting the log out of our own eyes before we start blasting another on
their specific faults. We need a savior, because of the things we do and say.

Thanks for your invitations. Maybe in future. For now I stick to my own clan

Dont kill your plants, just shave 'em. They'll love you all the more for it.

Thanx for response!

It appears to me the fast majority of people are decent good people. Evil people seem rare. At least I don't run across them that often. Usually if someone appears to be evil it might be that they are mentally ill.I don't care what religion you belong to, or if you have no religion most people are good not evil. Born bad is a wacky idea.

Question for the Atheist.

Why do you complain of evil if it is about survival of the fittest?

Where did you get the idea that atheists believe in the survival of the fittest?

I guess you haven't worked around preschool aged kids. They fight all the time at where my wife works. But I guess it depends on the neighbor hood you live in. Her work is in the getto area of Fresno.

Atheists complain a lot about religion, not about evil.

We don't tend to use the theist's definition of "evil" either :]

You may be good. But you are not perfect. You cannot live without sin for one second of your life.

You are fully qualified to perish in the lake of fire. You do not need to sin anymore. You are already qualified to go to fall into the punishing hell. So you should obey the gospel of grace and believe in Christ.

Even if you decide to be good from this day foward you are still guilty and need the Savior Jesus. Do not think that you need to commit more sins in order to qualify to perish forever. You are qualified enough already.

And the punishing hell will be filled with moralists, philanthrapists, social reformers, the kind, the good, the religious but not redeemed.

And they will be there because they did not obey the Gospel of Christ - " ... the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of His power, in flaming fire, rendering vengence to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His strength." (2 Thess. 7-9)

You only have to reject the gospel to perish for the sins you have already done.You need to do nothing more sinful. Just to not believe in the gospel will be your terrible undoing.

So confess your need to be saved to Jesus and receive Him so that your sins may be washed away in the blood of Jesus and the Holy Spirit may come into your heart.

Right now I am your best friend because I am telling you the truth.

In short,

Accept Gods love, or perish in hell!!!!

Personally i don't go for the Argumentum ad baculum, as the late Bill Hicks said -

Thanks for all those options!! Believe or die.

Believe in Christ or perish forever. That is the decision you have to make.

I've humored some of you for years. Time is running out. I'm your friend because I am telling you the truth.

Jesus loves you. No one who comes to Him will He cast out. But you have to come to Him.

Personally i've always thought it rather bizarre that the supposed creator of the universe, someone who Reveal Hidden Contenttranscends time and space and who is also Reveal Hidden Contentomnipotent and omniscient needs people to believe, whatever that may mean anyway, in Him®.

Sounds like the guy's got emotional problems.
