Seems the more logical the question, the more their eyes glaze over and feverishly quote the fictious wordings of the bible. It's amazing to think that I am going to hell in their minds for using the free will that their god claims to give.

because most people only know what they want to know and quote what they think states 'their opinion'. they refuse to seek the Word for what it actually is. Hence the irrated banter. it is also known as insecurity.

Who said you are going to hell for using the free will that God gave to you? You will go to hell if God decides for whatever reason, that you didn't make it, not for using free will.
If you have a logical question, lay it on me.
I've studied in the manuscripts probably longer than you have been out of diapers, and I assure you my eyes do not glaze over, nor do i feel the need to bore you to death with quotes from the Bible, unless the question demands a verse. I know Scripture well enought to just answer your questions. So, have at it.....

If this question of yours is any indication of what you feel is "logical", then no WONDER the Christians don't want to answer.
You were disrespectful, and you seem to think that ALL Christians are going to tell you you're going to hell, and that ALL Christians only quote Scripture. You go back over my Q&A, and in 99% of the religious questions I have answered, I do NOT use the Bible.
It's funny to me that you think the entire Bible is fiction, when it's been proven repeatedly by history and archaeology that it isn't.

Use all the free will that you want. Go were you choose and do all the things that make you happy. Indulge your senses in this world and when you are done and on your death bed look back at your life. Believe me God is going to look back on your life and if he doesn't like what he sees down you go. Free will isn't all its cracked up to be. Actually its harder than having someone tell you what to do. The choices you make in this world are the choices that will either carry you over to eternal bliss or to eternal damnation. Its your choice....Choose which ever way you please but remember when someone starts quoting the bible to you its not because they want to control you its because they want to help you. You know like a boy scout helps a little old lady across the street. God is about choices my friend. Do good or do not, believe or don't believe, but remember in the end he has the finally say. Good luck to you i hope you find what you are looking for.

Please do the rest of us a favor and don't assume all "religious folk" are Christian. The Christian's eyes tend to glaze over because intead of reconciling science with their faith, they try to fight it. They don't believe the Bible to be fictitious and usually don't even see its contradictions and flaws. While they may think we are all going to hell, they never stopped to see that we might prefer it that way, at least in Hell, all those good Bible-thumping proselytizing jerks are far away in Heaven. Its not like Satan would have anything against us, as we too have been denied by God (not that we care). Just be happy when the tell you you are going to hell, there are cooler people to talk to in hell (Socrates, Aristotle, Coperncus, Ghandi etc).

The same reason you do when we question yours. The blind man describes the elephants leg as a tree. Those that see only shadows will tell you they see the things the shadows represent. Whether you accept it or not your perception of the world is only a filtered translated facsimile of what you encounter.
Logic has little place in in the realm of mind and thought. Is it logical to accept that which is illogical? You may accept homosexuality but it is illogical. Logically one sex would seek the other because that is how the species is continued. It is illogical to accept anything other than that. My friend I fear it is not logic you speak of at all but dogma.

Why do you feel the need to question their beliefs? Doesn't freedom of religion provide them the right to believe what they want? Beside that, faith is unquestionable. They just believe. I personally am an atheist but I raise my children with the understanding that faith and religious belief are a personal choice. They choose to go to church even though I do not and I support their choice without question.

We don't get worked up over the "logical" questions. I have yet to see a "logical" question from an evolutionist. But if you disrespect our beliefs by saying "fictitious wording in the bible", we will be upset and start calling you a mutated ape, for that "is" what you evolutionists believe you are.
If you want your beliefs you can have them but don't stomp on mine and disrespect God.

faith, works and perception are all one. With the perfection in one, the culmination of all 3 are gained. they're the flexibility, yet no longer the top. once you attain the purpose, the path seems to be one. for somebody attempting to get there, paths look different. Perfection in faith would be gained in basic terms via complete devotional provider/renounce to the Lord, artwork as selfless provider and seeing God in everybeing. Perfection in artwork would be attained via understanding which you're no longer the doer, action is inactivity accomplished as provider to the God, unconditional like to all beings and sacrifice artwork and the end results of the artwork to the Lord. Perfection in perception would be attained via examining the scriptures, performing accountability without observing the culmination of the action, selfless, desireless artwork and unconditional love. Pre-considered mandatory to work out the God is - one million) Un-conditional like to all beings 2) Surmount the needs, attachment and fabric possessions. provide up all needs and wander unfastened from hankering, fake ego and possessiveness. 3) Selfless provider for the welfare of the international and carry out accountability as provider accomplished to the Lord

Give me a logical question & let's see if my eyes glazes over, I don't think it will, So what is your question, make it logical,first & then give me an unlogical one as this one is. And we will see at the end who's eyes is glazed.
