@ Lord Blackadder, releasing the Nyan cat was NASTY! All refreshed at work thought I would check out the progress with Calipoe and get hit with that. I'm going back to bed with this endlessly looped at full volume to clear my head.

I will have to answer the other questions another time, because I'm quite tired.

Thanks for your questions.
Yep, making stuff up and having no proof while dodging questions can get you pretty tired.

Yes, proof of genuineness would be good. I am thinking Philippines style voluntary crucifiction would demonstrate his resolve and genuineness.

Jesus sacrificed Himself to pay for all the sins of humanity.

He says to each soul that he would undergo again, all that suffering just for them alone.

Peoples hearts are cruel, mocking Jesus as He looks at them with love, and takes their place.
He loves those that even mock and curse Him, whilst He carries their punishment.

Those who make use of this gift will seek to love and comfort Christ.

But those unloving and ungrateful will mock His sacrifice, and His death will be in vain for them.

With such perfect mercy comes perfect justice.

At Judgement each soul is examined for it's love of God or lack of it.

Did you show one shred of love or compassion for Christ who sacrificed himself for love of you.
Did you live your life selfishly not acknowledging Gods gifts to you.

Material things mean nothing at judgement.

Seriously? THIS is what you come back with?

Look, your trolling has given us a bit of a laff (or something to waste our time on, anyway) for a couple of days, but there is a point at which it becomes just kinda boring.... well, tbh, this one started out a bit boring, but it's been a slow week so far.

What a load of bollocks.

Still not done shopping the meaningless dribble, I see.

Nonsense.

The entire concept of christianity is one big threat: If you can't bring yourself to believe these silly stories and evil doctrines, without any evidence whatsoever, then you go to hell.

It's disgusting.

This gave me a special giggle. I wonder why so many fundamentalist evangelists want people to give them money, if that's the case?
