Maybe he wants to hear an explanation that goes deeper than “he loves me”.

Maybe he wants to hear an explanation that goes deeper than “he loves me”.
But that’s not what he said. I’m saying his saying he doesn’t want to hear it calls the genuineness of his curiosity into question.

I have a question for Christian users here. What exactly do you find inspirational about Jesus Christ? I find that a lot of Christians see him as a role model as well as a god and I’m curious about specifics.
The “fire insurance” is the only reason to dedicate your life to Christ. You may say there are little benefits, but if you weren’t going to roast in hell there’d be no reason to suffer through church, evangelizing, praying, and all that. Life’s too short.
I feel like this is kind of a glass half empty or half full thing. Your reasoning isn’t incorrect, but I feel it’s more important to focus on the eternal reward of faithfulness rather than the eternal punishment of unforgiven sin (or whatever Hell may be).
The reward isn’t as desirable as the punishment is horrifying.

they spend more time wacking off than they do imitating Christ’s love.The reason they do that is because it’s a natural urge and desire of human beings (which God supposedly created).

Encouraging people, and especially youth, to repress themselves and be ashamed of themselves for something that’s biologically ingrained into them is one of Christianity’s biggest faults today.
I mean, that wasn’t my point, but okay. I don’t disagree with you.
Oh, well that’s how I took it.
I was just referring to the fact that they have no desire to express the love of Christ to others. The “wack” was just an example that I chose based on its place in religious society.
most people don’t want to hear about the love of Christ. I certainly don’t.
These two things do not go together.
Just like religion and facts.
ZING!!!

These are two different situations. In the first post you quoted, he specifically asked a question; in the second post, he talks about people who approach strangers on the street and unsolicitedly talk about their faith.

So because he thinks most people aren’t curious he isn’t allowed to be curious himself? Okay
He says he’s curious, but then doesn’t want to hear about it. You seem to have missed were he said “I certainly don’t.”
I wanted to hear about what people found appealing. That’s much different than “the love of Christ.”

By “damage control”, basically the Vatican pointed out that transcription of the Pope’s words regarding this are unreliable because no actual interview was given and what was report “is the result of [the author’s] reconstruction”.

According to Jesus’ exact words, Gehenna is the place where soul and body are kept far from God and/or are litteraly DESTROYED (so it is the opposite of “Eternal torment”) by an unquenchable fire. So the fire is unextinguishable, OK. But that doesn’t mean that unsaved suffer eternally in this fire, just that they are destroyed in this fire.
So basically, Pope Francis said yesterday exactly what I wrote here a week ago.
I guess that makes me a SuperPope.
