I am not looking to start anything. Like I mentioned many times so far. I am going into this with an open mind. I'll ask others to do the same. You know my thoughts on this but like I said, I may be missing something. Who knows, maybe both A and B parties may learn something. That's my intention. Straight forward questions and answers are greatly appreciated.

lol i was agreeing with you hallow, 'punching through the crust' means going beyond the fear teachings that form a kind of crust over whatever is beneath

It's all good, some people don't like swimming at all. We're all different. That's what's makes life interesting.

When In real terms he is blameless....

You are so right on this.

what way do you believe "God" scares people? who are you referring to when you say "God?" and what crazy things do you believe he makes people do?

I was just watching a court case, last night concerning a drunk driver crashing into a mother's car. killing two of her babies, and paralyzing the third child. she basically said that she questioning herself as a "Christian", because of what God did to her. she blamed God for the actions of a drunk driver, instead of blaming him. most likely because she believe the false teachings of however someone dies, it was "God's calling." so sad!
