I have never questioned your sincerity.

I think what you propagate here is folklore, mythology and superstition. That's my perspective. It's not a perspective I require you to adopt.

Is it impossible that a torturer Creator created the universe or do you figure it OUGHT not be so ?

Ie. God a Creator should be kind, loving, merciful, forgiving, not vengeful, never punishing and certainly not forever?

Which?

If you were to contemplate WHO in history manifests such arttributes more than anyone else such as being kind, loving, merciful, forgiving, is there anyone who seems to stand out among history's humans to display such characteristics?

That's right. I don't know. And the answer is "I don't know" when asked the same stuff by a Muslim. So, you go for no.3 (back when I plumped for no.1). And then you get from there to God only forgiving the "sins" of mankind if He lets his "Son" be executed by the Romans first. In the end, you are a Christian reciting Christian ideology. Neither of us are physicists.

Can propagation be of something that is true?

Is all propagation by nature, of what is not true?

Propagation of what is TRUE is possible ?

Yes?
Never!

Where is your un-convoluted explanation of a universe that has always existed yet has not by now run down ?

Do you need more time ?

What appeals to your imagination and aspirations - replete with the ghastly moral atrocity at its very core - doesn't appeal to my imagination or to my spiritual side. It doesn't make sense on any level.

Is it possible to recite Christian ideology and make TRUTH statements?

Is any and all recitation of Christian ideology of untrue matters BY DEFINITION ?

Where is your un-convoluted explanation of an eternal universe that has not become burnt out and cold by now?

My. You're running through your full array of go-to rhetorical gimmicks. Look sonship, we have discussed this many times before. The last time was, I think, in March. My response to this little conversational set-piece has not changed.

Of course. Thou shalt not kill seems "true" to me. And maybe you're right about Jesus resurrection. But I don't believe you are.

If I pretend that I do believe it, can I be "saved"?

To propagate simply means to spread and promote an idea, theory, etc. widely.

That was not the question.

Can in any instance the propagation of ideas be of true ideas?

If so how do you know for certain what I "propagate" is impossible to be true?

I "propagate" - Genesis 1:1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Beginning - of time.
Heavens - space.
And earth - matter.

You have a better explanation about an eternally existing heavens and earth and NO beginning of time?

Explain it without modern folklore, modern mythology, and modern convolution.
