THE EXIT IS CLEARLY VISIBLE TO ALL TRAPPED IN THE HOLE. YET NOBODY SEEMS TO SEE IT. EVERYBODY KNOWS WHERE THE EXIT IS. YET NOBODY SEEMS TO MAKE A MOVE TOWARD IT. MORE: WHOEVER MOVES TOWARD THE EXIT, OR WHOEVER POINTS TOWARD IT IS DECLARED CRAZY OR A CRIMINAL OR A SINNER TO BURN IN HELL! So it turns out that the trouble is not with the trap or even with finding the exit. The trouble is within THE TRAPPED ONES!
Just an example to religion especially christianity! Christians; is it so hard to see the truth and maybe you are not the ones holding the truth?
How do you see it? Please do not give me the typical answers of the same broken record that you usually do. Right now I am trying to help you to not believe in the wrong thing. To set you free! Do not look at this as an effort to hurt. I would not do that!
Answer this question; Do you truly not see the right answer? Or you do not want to see the answer.
Could you be wrong in your belief? Thank you.

I read once that Woody Allen said "A fanatic is someone who won't change their mind or change the subject". I love this quote. I'm not a religious person but I think that you don't have to be a Christian to be a fanatic. Some people are just as obsessed with bashing Christianity as much as some Christians want to push it down your throat.

Your question is somewhat ill-posed sir. You make statements without backing them up. I do, however get the gist of what you are trying to say.....I think. Tho vague, I guess my response would have to be that I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe in the bible and its essential message....accounting for the various versions of contemporary bibles as well as the KJV as well, all in the English language.
If this is the 'same broken record' you referred to, then perhaps the reason you receive this kind of response is because those reading and responding all feel the same way about the same thing and there is a consistency there.......which is good.
If I stand in front of you twice a week for a year, holding a baseball in my hand and then ask you each time what will happen to the ball when I drop it. You'd reply the same way each time I suppose. I don't know what kind of scientific background you have, but I assume you have enough sense to know the correct answer. What then if after doing this for half the year I preface each question by saying.....please don't give me the same old response again.
It's kind of a nonsense thing to request....don't you think? I'm sure you can imagine many different scenarios with many different motivations for answering one way versus the other. It provides nothing to the folks reading your question. It gives no information....none useful that is, and depending on the person.....could skew your responses.
So you are either in need of a blind agreement to your question (whatever it is)........or you aren't terribly interested in the free-thought of others without risking the fact that your question is so narrowly and poorly posed that you are really only guaranteeing yourself one of two responses to begin with.
So.....what's the point?
You've really said nothing......I read your question over a couple times and thought about it while I popped off this response, and to be honest I have no idea what the content of your question is directed toward.
Are you saying that you have the answers to all our problems?
Are you saying that you are a messiah?
Are you saying that you are privy to knowledge and information the rest of us are not?
Are you saying that you have definitions to religious and sociological dilemmas that have plagued mankind the past couple thousand years?
I'm always fascinated by people wanting to belch up grand, and great epics for us all to consider, supposedly directed at shattering all our ideologies and belief systems, by throwing together a few broken sentences, poor grammar and convoluted thoughts sprinkled with some key words.
If you are going to attempt to shake all our religious confidences with your self-congratulatory puffery, then maybe you should sit down and give it more thought beforehand. Put together a well-stated posit that is clear, concise and general enough that responses can actually be represented by more than what you are asking for.
Kinda just makes sense......doesn't it?

Why is it that you attack Christians about their beliefs and trying to make you believe the way they do yet you are doing the same thing to them?
I mean anyone and everyone could be wrong, that's why we live in America so we can believe the way we choose to. Its called free choice.
You believe they are trapped in a hole but yet they believe the same thing about you. Why just not all get along and let people believe what they want to with out attacking them.
You have become what you hate so much

He means that the Christian Exit exists outside of their close-mind. The Exit is a history book; seek and they will find the truth about where and why religion came about : as a justification for the powerful to conquer others for leadership.

I'm confused about what you mean as exit. As far as knowing what I believe is right or not, I don't doubt, not because I'm naive, inexperienced in life or close-minded, but because the essence of Christinanity is having faith. I have faith in the things I cannot see because it's what I feel in my heart, believe in my mind, and see the benefits of in my life. It's not a coincendence. I don't need see water turned to wine or the dead raised, I don't need to be convinced b/c the fact that we are here to even contimplate this question is a miracle. My exit is when I leave this earth and enter heaven.

Simply put... I have a free will and I "choose" to believe. Based on my own personal experiences, (as well as what I have read), I would be a fool to ignore what I see as the Truth - a fool!
And... I would submit to you: "What if your view is wrong?" Obviously you must believe that when we die... that's it... one way or another, right? What if you died right now and came face to face with God? What argument could you possibly give for your reasoning/logic? According to the Bible, we each have a free will to choose life... or death, (after we die physically). And the choice we make here determines where we'll spend eternity.
Even if Christians are wrong, what would it hurt to error on the side of safety? What is so wrong with their philosophy that would cause someone to live defiantly... on purpose... on the mere possibility that your own views are correct? (I would think that "that" would be a scary thought to ponder... ?).

First of All I know the Truth, while you do not know the truth, & also I don't need you to guide me, The Holy Ghost will guide me, & you are not the Holy Ghost, Now You think I am trapped, No I am not, Your Islamic people is the ones that is trap, If they dare to make a move, they are killed, I am not afraid to make anykind of move, Why do you think it is hard for True Christian to see the truth, Listern, in my 37 yrs. as a Christian, I have came across many people like you & in 37 yrs. Not one has the knowledge how to trick a True Christian, let lone me., Could I be wrong in my beliefs, No, For it has been consistant for 37 yrs. It is your ideals that changes from day to day, don't worry about me, worry about yourself.

Maybe you are wrong in your belief, and you could be set free. Whenever I read something that does not get straight to the point and goes in circles, then I am pretty sure you don't have a handle on it either. Thank you.

I am not trapped, I am free! I acknowledge God in everything I do and He is with me, and directs my way. He's kept me from making many wrong choices, and gives me tremendous peace. He shows me every day just how much He loves me. I've never experienced a LOVE like His love in my whole life. Nothing in this world can even compare to Him, and nothing in this world can cause me to turn my back on Him. Even when I mess up,(and I do mess up), His arms are always open. He never turns His back on me! I know freedom. I know Jesus!
