While people are mature enough to realize that God wont fix everything and that death is another part of life, people realize that communion(communication) with God is an ongoing and necessary part of life.

You keep saying that but never explain how it is happens or how you can know you are communicating with God.

Re: More Scriptural References
Labeling Christians "spiritually lazy" and "helpless" is so close to being derisive and disdainful as to be indistinguishable from them.
​
Which might be valid had he done so, but he didn't. He pointed out that many Christians are "spiritually lazy" and "helpless" which is simply a reasonable observation. Their beliefs deserve pity more than anything else.

Re: More Scriptural References
And should they not be treated with derision?

Re: More Scriptural References
Why?
​
It is an attempt to help them by showing how ridiculous and destructive their belief system is.
​
It is not the people but the beliefs and ideas that are rightfully ridiculed and mocked.

Re: More Scriptural References
If you are so sure your own beliefs are superior, have at it.
​
Too funny.
​
Of course some of my positions (as opposed to beliefs) are superior and I also understand that the beliefs I hold that cannot be supported are equally deserving of derision.
​
But I cannot even imagine expecting anyone to accept or agree with any of my beliefs.
