I have to take a clear stance on this issue, I hate the idea of a hell, yet I don't want to abandon my principles, and my faith.
Permit me to rephrase what you said.
"Blah blah blah I can't hear you..."
How do you expect anyone to take you seriously if you continue to say something like this?
Actually, let me use the same principle. I think that you are a moron. It is my principle to think so. I hate the idea, but I don't want to abandon my principle. No amount of reason or evidence is going to convince me otherwise. I'm going to believe that you are a moron no matter what.
Catch my drift?

Re: we'll float on, good news is on the way
You misunderstood me. It's not the validity of your claim that I question. I question your willingness to debate in good faith.
Every once in a while, you insert a comment like the one I quoted in my last post. The comment essentially says "you are wasting your time with me because I ain't going to listen to what you have to say... blah blah blah I can't hear you."
If you want people like me to stop treating you like an angry teenager and start taking your words more seriously, you need to demonstrate that you have the ability to absorb the words and evidence that people present. Stop saying "I ain't going to change my mind regardless blah blah blah I can't hear you blah blah blah..."
As a friend (it's against my better judgement), I'll be honest to you right now. It's better for your professional life to at least pretend that you are considering what other people are saying, especially your boss. I don't care if you're not going to change your mind, but at least don't say it out loud. People actually spend the time to look up information and write out long posts to converse with you and you throw the information right back into their faces by saying "blah blah blah I can't hear you." No matter how many ways you can put it, it's still "blah blah blah I can't hear you."
Ok, I'll stop interrupting.

I want all the people for righteousness. Is it to noble a desire?
My idea of righteousness is I don't require that my opinion be made into law. Heck, the head of the US military disagrees with me on this regard. Right away, we can see 2 distinct opinions on what is righteousness. Which one is the right righteousness?

I love that particular tract because it says something that christians often try to avoid. I especially love this part of it
