Except that you misunderstood me about the part of "not willing". Keep in mind that I am not exactly an atheist who completely rejects the idea of anything divine.
And I apologize if you think I was being too hard on you or something, but I was merely pointing at the fact that it is NEVER SIMPLE whenever it comes to those who doubts their faith. Sure, you may mean that one should have faith in God, but that's already over-simplifying issues, you see. Sin/Doubt/or even the concept of evil is not as simple as black and white.
I don't know your life, you don't know mine. But I've seen this argument many times over the course of my internet years. I was part of it too.
Not sure if you noticed it yourself, but deep inside you're probably looking for a convenient answer. Something that satisfies your worldview.
Everything that don't fit what you
want is insensitive, rash, ill-understanding, arrogant ect ect ect. All our fault.
Now you may say 'No I'm not like that'.
But let me tell you the truth: that is what your heart wants.
Self-justification at its deepest delusion.
Why do I say that?
Because
I was there. In that kind of rut, getting angry at anyone who tells me what I don't want to hear. Even if that was the answer I needed.
'Oh no I'm not angry'. That is also self-deception. You are angry, even if you insist you are not. Bitterness is the root of a lot of debates. Root of many 'new philosophies'.
Right now your debates go around in a circle of inner-hurt, wondering why nobody understands. Why no one takes effort to understand.
In reality, anyone who don't conform to your desired ideal gets crossed out. Recently that happened on tumblr. User wondered why she got no friends, when all friends are axed off because we don't confirm or mollycoddle.
Yeah, I'm not going to debate with you. Probably won't even read your response because hey, I am axing myself from any more circular logic that I've grown tired of participating in.
If this is offensive, okay. Expected that too. I'd get offended too if I heard that from my end. No lie.
TLDR version: Stop this manipulative behaviour. Please. It's so obvious I can't stand it.
