Why should I worship an entity that would threaten me with punishment as a consequence of not doing so?
One ticket to Hell please.

Well there hasn't been one in 2000 years, so I doubt one will be coming along in the near future either.

Read the New Testament for what a genuine folower of Christ must be. Manson, Hitler and Osama are followers of the evil one.
So Osama is no more a "true" Muslim than an IRA terrorist is a "true" Christian.
Why is there one rule of definition for Christians who commit evil and another for Muslims?

That's quite a non sequitur.
Not at all. If you are determined to answer with with bare-link referrals to earlier comments at least have the wherewithall to remind yourself of their content!
Never mind...

I know what I said in Message 107 and your response makes no sense.
It was an OT point that got garbled, so never mind!

Re: Still no evidence of KNOW

If your own verification is of no worth then what worth the verification of anothers? Zero worth mulitplied by 10,000 is zero worth.
An analogy based on a straw-man representation of what Jar said. If someone's knowledge can be verified in some way then it has greater worth. The validity of said knowledge increases with the number of verfications.
If anyone's knowledge is of "zero worth" is it your own because you are utterly unable to provide any means of verification to others.
A defendant is standing trial for a crime in court. Ten eyewitnesses say the defendant didn't do it, whereas one lone man says he "knows" the defendant did it despite the fact he wasn't present.
Who would you expect the judge to listen to?
