By saying someone can be forgiven? By offering eternal life?

Wow....you need to man up, Sally.

Which implies that God is holding people's sins against them and that they are headed for whatever you believe is the opposite of eternal life (which in your case is eternal torment).

And yet your bible, at least one section of it, says that you are supposed to be telling people that God isn't holding their sins against them. Guess you missed that section.

Wow....you need to man up, Sally.

Yeah, real "Christian" of you there Viz. Pile the bullying on a bit more, why don't ya?

Well, no, I don't think so. It's a subsection of Christianity that seems to be shrinking.

The motto of Fundamentalist Christianity is;

• I'm not happy till you're not happy.
• No girls allowed.
• God hates----
• We must sin, so God has something to forgive.
• The Bible is the only and last word of God.

So the plan is to insult the masculinity of the men who have an opinion you don't like? How's that working out for you? Do they storm the doors in Podunk to hear your insults and put downs from the pulpit?

Or are people staying away from the church with the preacher who delivers Trump-like attacks? Which have nothing to do with Christianity.

You believe comparing Freak to a woman is insulting to Freak.

Allow me. Grow a vagina, Viz. It will do your Christian body good.

No, by saying someone evens needs to be forgiven for being a human being. You are in no position to offer eternal life. You are a man, following other men, following one particular interpretation of one particular holy book written by men.

You shouldn't assume that I "believe" any of the Jesus myth.
