Maybe he talks like that over a beer 🙂. Have a few more beers and you will understand what he is saying. Basically he is saying that some people claim to be Christians but they fail to do what it takes to be one. So in fact they are deluded.
No, usually only Christians are so arrogant.

I bet you would have move luck in getting her to renounce her faith if she believed it would prevent a rape from you. How detestable that must be to her.
The Lord has promised me eternal life. Why would I not risk my own mortal life for this? Why throw away what has been promised to me in order to live a few more hours? That makes no sense.

Were the Jews "in it for the reward" during their Holocaust?

Are you immortal now?
"... which no one on earth is"... right, that's kind of the point, isn't it?
Our eyes should be on the Word of God, which is the way, the truth and the life, not the words of man, which are most often lies.

Originally posted by LemonJelloWell, when it means much the same to me as "... the sound of one hand clapping", why does it shock you? The relevance of the Word of God is so much more compelling to me than the words of man, no matter how much more "sense" they make to some people.
I, for one, am simply shocked that someone of your intellect failed to grasp the relevance of what I wrote. How very surprising....
Here's something maybe you can relate to, maybe not. As I've said before, my Briggs-Myers type indicator includes an "F" for Feeling, not a "T" for Thinking. You can quote logic to me all day long and it has as much meaning to me as the ramblings of a two-year old. Try speaking to my Feeling side, not my Thinking side. I bet you can't do it as I imagine your type indicator probably contains a T, not an F. Understand?
