@secondson saidIt is not an 'ignorant remark" to point out that major religions - including Christianity - are based on the prospect or promise of eternal life.
Mine is the exception. There is only one way to God, and that is through Jesus Christ, and you know that's what the Bible teaches.
So why are you making such an abject ignorant remark?

@secondson saidThe fact that the "system" or writings of your religion are different from those of other religions is not evidence of the "truth" of your religion.
I can quote chapter and verse the promises made in the Bible relative to eternal life, and there's not another religious system or writings that can compare whatsoever.

@secondson saidIt's fine by me if you want to conduct yourself on this forum while holding the view that "eternal life" is not a feature of all major religions and is only a feature of yours. It will be odd. But it will maybe be interesting. It will certainly marginalize you as a commentator on religion.
All major religions in the eyes of their adherents deal with death by promising that it can be 'conquered' by everlasting life.
Nonsense. Prove it.

@secondson saidYou can't dismiss scrutiny of the doctrines you believe in as being "ignorant" simply because the scrutiny is coming from someone who doesn't share your belief in those doctrines. Well, you CAN, of course. But it's just online banter if you do.
You really are quite ignorant about Christianity.

@fmf saidAnd it's just online banter to claim other religions make the same claims as Christianity without proofs.

You made the claim that other religions "promise eternal life". Cite the sources.

@secondson saidThe promise of eternal life is a feature of almost all major religions. It is not "online banter". If you don't believe it, just go ahead and act upon your disbelief.

@secondson saidIt's not "online banter". Be my guest and deny one of the most uncontroversial facts about all major religions of the world - including Christianity - all down through history if you feel the need to. I am not going to give you any links. It is more interesting to simply let you make a fool of yourself in public.
If that's true, then it should be easy and simple for you to pick one and cite the promise made.
Or continue your online banter.

@fmf saidI'm not asking for a "link". Just one simple quote from any religious text of your choice to support your assertion.

You're making a fool of yourself by making unsubstantiated claims. Maybe someone will come to your rescue.

@secondson saidIt's more interesting to simply let you BE in the corner into which you have backed yourself until you decide to come out. Almost all major religions feature the notion of eternal life for their adherents. The Earth is not flat. The U.S. landed astronauts on the moon. I'm offering no links.
