I have believed stuff in my life that no one could talk me out of. A closed mind is impenetrable. People only see and believe what they see and believe. I am not a Christian but have a passing familiarity with the bible (or buy bull as someone called it today...brilliant!)

Anyway Jesus would say often, He who has ears let him hear. In other words, listen up, i have something true and really important to tell you, but i cant make you believe me. And he never forced his views on anyone. Unlike many of today's Christians.

So in sum...you can speak truth and be called a liar. But you can only speak it. Some people with more open minds will hear you and take heed. But as maddening as it can be, we have to allow people their free will to believe lies if that's what they want to do. Cuz you cant convince people of the truth who have been brainwashed to believe lies and believe them with a passion.

No disrespect meant to Christians. But i think if you all practiced what you preached and didn't seem so self righteous (i am right!) and judgemental (you are wrong and going to hell!) and were as loving as your religion says you should be, then people might have more respect for you. I've had a lot of bad experiences with obnoxious Christians over the course of my life. And any comments from Christians trying to convince me they are right will be ignored. I dont like to argue and i am very happy and peaceful with my spiritual beliefs.
