Opinions absolutely can be right or wrong. And I'm not telling you to believe in hell or not. I'm telling you that you're stance is irrational and that in the hypothetical case that you proposed, you would woefully unprepared to accept your "sentence" willingly. Though, to be fair, that line of thinking appears to come from pride, so perhaps you would be willing to forego an eternity of peace for a possible eternity of misery as long as you know that it was your decision. I guess that's not ignorance as much as foolishness. Either way, it's your hypothetical, and I'm saying it's nonsense. Whether it's your "opinion" or not makes no difference to me.

You're still assuming that I have no idea what Hell is like. I made a decision to believe in God at one time, and I've made the decision to stop, since. You don't know me or my views, so you cannot say that my proposal is irrational. It fits my criteria for believing in God, and frankly it's becoming irritating that you even think that you can tell me I'm wrong for having them.

Your responses only demonstrate what I've been saying. You're being irrational. I don't have to know your particular circumstances or your story. Your responses smack of postmodernist thinking. Just because you don't like what I'm saying, and just because you say it's an opinion, and just because it doesn't fit into your narrative, doesn't mean I'm wrong. I personally don't ascribe to a "whatever makes me feel bette" philosophy. It's nonsense and has no credibility.

Who the fuck cares though, really? He asked what I needed to believe in God. I said what I needed, and added that if he was real, I would accept my fate. Why do you feel the need to cross analyze that to begin with? Did my initial stance irritate you? You can not say what it will take for me to believe in god. Ever. And the fact that you think that you can, is baffling.

I haven't attempted to tell you what it would take for you to believe in God. That's not within my abilities as a human being. I was merely pointing out the asininity of your position on hell.

Did I miss where I said that I knew so much about it? Because I don't remember saying that I was an expert, or anything along those lines.

Right. So I've given you a free lesson. You're welcome.

In something that I don't care about? For absolutely no reason? And you're suggesting I should be [i]grateful?[/i] Fucking lol. You're a real piece of work.

Thank you.

No problem, asshole.
