Simple response? Wrong on all counts.dastardly stem wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 6:00 pmBelieving in God is espousing a fatalistic point of view--it's determined mankind will die out when God decides, no? And you, as a believer, expressed hope for that impending destruction.
Three other notes of interest (perhaps).
1. You, perhaps without realizing it, compared man in the singular vs women in the plural--perhaps a sign of your hope for future polygamy. Sounds fatalistic, actually.
2. If there was a sensible reason to believe the "eternal nature and progression of man/women" you'd have some sort of point. But there is no reason other than a selfish hope, or what I'd characterize as a selfish hope. And that's, of course, a bad reason.
3. Since your theology suggests many if not most of humanity will not have eternal progression, then the progression is for but a few, relatively speaking. You may delight in the hope you'll have aplenty while most are left wanting, but that which you hope for sounds like a different kind of hell for me
Do I wish/hope for the destruction of the world through the intervention of God? Watching my children and grandchildren perish?
Of course not.
Honestly, your 1-3 don’t even deserve a response. We’re now getting into a pronoun usage issue? Sheesh. If you want me to edit “man” to “men” I’d be happy to. Let me know.
Why am I not surprised you’d focus on that which is superfluous to what I’m actually saying?
