Having some sort of twisted image of christian belief in their mind, and saying to themselves: "meh! thing that stupid doesn't deserve any serious thinking", they keep repeating all the thousand-year-old "contradictions" of christianity, which in reality are not contradictions IN christianity, but are contradictions between their way of living and their understanding of christianity.
And what hurts me most: I'm not eloquent enough to remove that wall of "meh". And until it removed, it absolutely does not matter what you say to them. And that's sad.
How does it hurt, Dorten? Does not your denomination of Christianity preach tolerance and understanding? Even if other people refuse to even attempt to open their minds to other perspectives , that doesn't have any bearing on the salvation of your soul. Especially people on the internet, they seem to be exceptionally ignorant.
I said it before, and I'll say it again. If I knew scripture like you, I'd prolly be an athiest too.. -gut
