Impossible. Once one departs from the faith, they are lost again -- but in worse condition.

I think hate speech should not be protected by the 1st amendment right because it is a form of violence.
Any speech against the Word is indeed hate speech and should be banned.

Proverbs 8
[32] Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
[33] Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
[34] Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
[35] For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
[36] But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

I wasn't referring to my Church, but rather what the Master said in the Holy Bible. Man wasn't made to live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. I'm sure that doesn't sit well with you.

As for your belief in New Thought Science --- to me it is rubbish, but you are free to believe it. For example, New Thought or Christian Science is not very scientific as I see it when they claim that all disease arises in the MIND. How can they deny that diseases are often spread by bacteria and viruses or mutations of cellular DNA? So in that regard, I would regard Quimby as not a particularly wise man. He may have had some good ideas, but the New Thought religion even defies scientific truth.

Come on. He wasn't perfect, but neither was Darwin. We're talking about the 1800's. Are you going to say that Isaac Newton was wrong too?

Did you get that from some of your Plymouth brethren? That sounds like a lot of puritan values. Or at least their talk.

If the Plymouth Brethren ever understand the scriptures by the spirit, we'd see revival like we have never seen before.
