There is nothing missing in my life,

Well we are speaking of two different realities and then the law of philosophical law non-contradiction comes into play.

If our Lord spoke the truth that no one goes to heaven without being a believer in him (John 14:6) and your reality says the opposite both cannot be true. Either Christ is the only way, as he claimed, or your way is a better or more right way and thus Christ lied and he is not worthy to be followed. But it cannot be both ways. If Christ really is not the only way then he is the biggest liar in history and we should not be following him.

It is like the idea that there is no car coming down the intersection when another says a car is coming down the intersection. Either one is right and the other is wrong or both are wrong. And if a car is truly coming and one ignores it and pulls out into that car a wreck will occur.

I'll just keep praying that one day you will take the time to examine the reality claims Christ makes in contrast to yours. I know it might be frightening to do such a critical examination because it challanges your core worldview position, which may be why you are not yet interested as it would likely leave you in a position where you would not have any answers to the reality claims being made, but in the end that would be a good educational journey for you no matter what, even if you did not embrace this reality.

Anyway, thanks for not getting offended. You're always a good sport in our dialog about the most important issue in the universe.

PS. Emotive language is a good thing by the way....especially when it is based in the reality of a risen Lord who teaches us how to properly use our emotions to further the cause of his love. Ask any lady who is in a union if she wants a robot or a man who knows how to use emotive words to stir the heart the right way :)

I don't think so Dr. Allen, only a believer would be so invested in the idea that a person believes the same as them. It makes no difference to myself or my reality what you believe.
I don't want to offend you either and your earnestness is quite endearing but honestly, I have no desire to learn any more about your general religious beliefs, I am afraid your efforts would be entirely wasted on me.

I do have one major question then. If you do not want to answer this then by all means do not feel as if you have to.

But if so here is my question: Do you believe that reality is real? In other words, do you believe there is something called reality, something that which is fixed, objective, and verifiable?

Or do you believe there is no objective reality that can be verified objectively?

I think therefore I am.
 
Ah, what a lovely statement....Rene Descartes' most famous position. I love it.

Great....more to follow later.
