Q:Word to the wise: No one will take you seriously if you say shit like 'in the word of God'. And calling someone else ignorant? Not everyone believes in God. You're pushing your beliefs on other people - that's an automatic dismissal of whatever potentially somewhat valid claim you had/have to make.

Telling me to stop pushing my beliefs on people is pushing your beliefs on me. Ever think about that? By your own logic, you have invited an automatic dismissal of your claims. Not to mention you did this anonymously. Coward. If you believe something strongly enough to reply like this, have the guts to accept the consequences publicly.
My belief is that God spoke to us through the scriptures. He tells us to speak the truth and to share the Gospel. If I don’t share the truth of the Gospel, I’m directly disobeying God. Some people may be comfortable with that, I’m not - even if I fail over and over. But that’s the gospel anyway. I can’t earn it so His grace covers me in a way my own self-righteousness cannot.
If you’re not into Jesus because some of his followers are hypocrites, let me tell you - we all are. And those of us who are serious about following him will admit it. It’s not about being perfect or some kind of moralism, it’s about our loving response to the God who became one of us and died for us when we didn’t deserve it. That perspective changes everything - it did for me. It can for you too if you change your way of thinking and put your faith in Jesus.
If you’re up for a serious dialog - I’m always happy to discuss things. Let me know - we could take our dialog off the public line - maybe to email, if that makes you more comfortable.
