@roac7777 (Part 2)... and respect. How are you treating Pastor Driscoll with love and respect in your remarks about him? Rule #4: Forgive wrong doing. Does this mean forgive them... but make sure you get as many people to not like them as possible while you're doing it? Matthew 23 is written about people just like you. "Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do." (Matt. 23:3). Jesus calls them hypocrites.

@roac7777 (Part 1)-You've violated the first 4 rules you live by in your comment against Pastor Driscoll and religion. Rule #1: do not do to others what you would not want them do to you. Unless you want everyone to make rude comments about your life and belief systems... then you've violated your 1st rule. Rule #2: In all things, strive to cause no harm. How are you not causing harm or defamation in a remark that says he's full of crap? Rule #3: Treat your fellow human beings with love..

@BCrav1024 "Yes, the Bible tells you to despise this life"

You seem to be using your scripture-reading skills on my comment,

causing you to change both the words and the meaning.

Have another look and see if you can read what I actually wrote,

rather than your assumptions about what I might have written.

@littleman85882 Frankly, I found our discourse a bit hard to follow.

I sure don't agree with your reasoning.

You say that having your treasure in heaven

allows you to live this life with passion and to the full,

because the next life is more important than this one.

That seems quite backwards.

We are passionate about the things that are IMPORTANT,

not about temporary "meanwhile" things.

If this life is relatively unimportant, whence the passion and fullness?

[BCrav1024]

Yes, the Bible tells you to despise this life, of course! Uhhh, can you point that verse out to me? I can't seem to find it.

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer was hung for planning an assassination on Adolf Hitler.

- Bishop Romero was martyred on San Salvador for exposing the corrupt government [at the time] that was abusing their citizens' rights.

Ya, those guys definitely died for the sake of others because they "despised this life", right? Go read a book. And I don't mean a Bob Marley lyric pamphlet.

@elconrad2 You may think that, I know I am not.
