philosophy is often more effective when you start the discussion from mundane questions/observations, i gave you one

Originally posted by Psy-T i have one, why do you hide your online status?

So people don't see me coming when I post .

In all seriousness, personally I hide my online status because I don't really see the point of it. Why should my presence influence what you're saying to me? I think it makes people more relaxed to say what they really want to say if they're arguing with me (it seems less confrontational ... in other words I think people are more honest knowing you're not reading what they said a minute or two after you post it). This is probably less applicable to the COR than the PDD since most of the fights I pick are in there.

Originally posted by Moral Hazard I would argue a failure on our part to make the right choice is a failure on our part to recognize the path god has showen us. Besides, as I stated ealier, the revalation of John tells us that damnation is not eternal contrary to what the Vatican or Pat Robertson may tell us today.

this may have been answered but doesnt this break the point of having free will. if God wants us to choose to love him, after we die, we'll essentially learn of God's existence and therefor change our opinion completely. although you said that Hell is not eternal, I feel like by it not being eternal, that basically allows us to cheat God's so called system of choosing to love him, because sooner or later, we would know of his existence and would be compelled to love him
