It is impo ...[text shortened]... to your ability to think for yourself at various times in your life, so I am not going to try.

Ah so you think that insulting my intellect is somehow a good reflection on you as a person?

I am insulting you when I call you a jerk. But I am not insulting you when I say I think you are intellectually impaired.

As for whether my 'jerk' insult hits the mark is up to onlookers to decide.

As for whether my "intellectually impaired" diagnosis is right, people can reread the psychological abuse and systematic emotional and intellectual deprivation that you yourself described in detail and which, you say, lasted for 24 years.

They can cross-reference it with the way you behave on this forum and decide for themselves.

I think everything I have posted on this web site stretching back over a decade provides a good reflection of the person I am.

Ah FMF is clearly upset about something, is it maybe the fact that I am not bothered by his cyberbullying antics?

If you think I am a cyberbully, alert the web site owners.

Why would I alert them if I said it didn't bother me? Besides, your pal is an owner so he's got you covered anyway.

Is divegeester not a part owner of the site?

Perhaps you've had your chain pulled. You should address your questions as to who owns the web site to the site's administrators, not me.

This is a claim that divegeester made. If you think he was lying or 'pulling my chain' fair enough.

I’ll take divegeesters word for it. Don’t you?

This opening is similar to Pascal's Wager but with colours reversed.

Basically
Assume there is no afterlife and live this life to the fullest.

1. If there is no afterlife,
you were correct. Well done.

2. If there is an afterlife,
you were wrong, but hey, an afterlife! Who would have thought!

Could you show me the word "afterlife" anywhere in the Bible ?

I do read of ZOE a Greek word for divine life.
And I do notice the term resurrection.

Did you ever see the word "afterlife" there?

Are Christians wrong to use the word "afterlife"?

You are playing semantics again. You know full well what 'afterlife' means. In your alleged religion, you wake up in heaven to sing hosannas to your narcissistic god who requires sycophants forever, not what I would want in an afterlife.

Yea, like stealing, murder, honoring your parents and so on. The joy of those are denied you.

I agree that people shouldn't steal and murder.

Good parents deserve honor. Bad ones, not so much.

I was thinking more of the following prohibitions:

Looking on a woman to lust after her.
Having sex outside of marriage.
Coarse jesting.
Blasphemy.

Some of these can be taken too far. But the biblical reaction is usually outright prohibition, rather than moderation. Better to let people find a balance, I think.
