The word "feel" and the word "factual" cannot be linked, facts are empirical....not emotional.
Salvation and your relationship with God is real. Not emotional. You don't make the rules on what is defined as "real" - sorry
"I can't believe I read this entire thread...
The God that so many Christians write about is the Titan named Chaos. Now as Christians will scream no that is a LIE, but Judaism has a lot of Greek Mythology to Sumerian Mythology and Samson is a good example seeing he is Hercules in Greek Mythology.
The destruction of Sodom was by a meteor and not a divine being. The story about Angels coming to Lot is a wonderful myth to teach us a lesson about how cultures viewed Homosexuality, but the reality is Sodom was never destroyed by a divine being and those stories were written by man.
So as I do find it amusing when someone grab their little black book and use the scriptures to support their close minded bigoted view the reality is the Bible was written by man and should be treated as a good scary book to scare ignorant and close minded people with but should not be the law of the land.
Now I know what I wrote will offend a few, but in the end the Bible is not the law of this country nor should it be, and I promise the chances of the U.S. will not meet the Sodom fate. "
This is what I responded to, you defended his "feelings" in a relative manner, meaning you implied if HE "felt" they were true then they were true....
To him YOUR faith is poppycock.....and in reality if his "feelings" are as real as your "feelings" how can you do you reconcile dual realities?
You see he denies the reality of your "feelings".....and the truth is that he has good cause to "feel" that way.
You are supporting dual realities...
