     That is Bullsht, sorry - raskolnikov MU - 10/12 18:57:12
          A few thoughts in response... - JeffB MU - 10/12 20:38:00

                         Christianity has the truth because.. you know the bible - TigerMatt STL - 10/13 02:05:02

               How pathetic and how arrogant - meatiger MU - 10/12 22:02:51
                    The question on the table is whether it would be logical to - JeffB MU - 10/12 22:29:12

                                        That is a very simplistic view of religion and does not - JeffB MU - 10/13 10:19:10
                              Another point - meatiger MU - 10/12 22:54:18
                                   Again, it all boils down to 'What is the truth'? - JeffB MU - 10/12 23:41:49
                                        Your religion uses fear - meatiger MU - 10/13 01:51:56
                                             That is a gross distortion of the truth. It is true that - JeffB MU - 10/13 10:31:04

                                   How contradictory. Second death is eternal separation - TigerMatt STL - 10/12 22:33:48
                                        and your evidence that souls just disintegrate into nothingn - JeffB MU - 10/13 10:49:55
                                   I just do NOT get Dualism, sorry - raskolnikov MU - 10/12 22:32:32
                              Destruction of the soul is not an uncommon belief - TigerMatt STL - 10/12 20:16:11
