What does that even mean? Keep replying to people with facts and evidence and logical, coherent arguments?

My post was 100% factual and verifiable by anyone with a will to know the truth. In fact, I think the 20 people who downvoted me know it is the truth and simply downvoted because they wish it wasn’t the truth.

Personally I’d never vote for a democrat and never have ever and I’ve been voting a long time but it’s because they are anti-gun, pro-censorship. Basically they are anti-constitutional and that is a deal breaker for me. But if I listened to this priest, I’d have never voted for a republican either because there’s a lot of messed up stuff they support such as out of control spending and the surveillance state (same as democrats). We’ve got to just pick the politician that most aligns with us and go with it. Better to do that than not vote at all like the idiot that always tells me to repent.

Lots of priests "get it". The closet gay liberal priests are going extinct. Look up Bishop Barron if you want to hear what Jordan Peterson as a priest would sound like.

Yeap Catholics should be anti death penalty as well and humane treatment of immigrants but acknowledging countries should enforce their laws and borders

The Bible is a life guide, the church is a communal meeting place and support apparatus. If you don’t follow the guide you will experience Hell on earth and when you die your name will remain in Hell to those who live on. Got it? It isn’t rocket surgery

You use the logic of a 10 year old. No wonder your dad scared you.

You know what’s evil. Telling people that hell and going to hell can actually happen. No proof never has been and never will

You don't know that.

There may not be proof this side of death. There may very well be proof beyond it.

Trouble is, if that's where the proof lies, by the time you get to the proof it's too late to avoid it.

Then don’t let it affect what you do here and now.

Yes, but that's the reasoning of an idiot. It's a non-sequitur.

Let's see if I can put this in terms you can understand.

You are familiar with the FAFO formula, yes?

Whether we're talking about a situation in which the FO part doesn't happen until after death or whether it's just a situation in which the FO part happens immediately after the FA part, the fool who encourages the FA part is, well, a fool.

Because in just about any situation you can think of, there's a chance that you get lucky and avoid the FO part. You don't get caught. You get lucky and thread some needle. The fool convinces himself that the FA is worth the risk of the likely FO, and it almost never is.

For one thing, FO almost always occurs sooner or later. It's damned rare for someone to FA consistently yet never FO.

For another, the fool never stops to ask himself what are you engaging in all of this risk for? FA is not as valuable or enjoyable as the fool has it built up in his mind to be, I guarantee you.

Call it Pascal's Wager, that's fine. It's still true.

The proof you claim to need is only found after it's too late to avoid it. You'll either FA all your life and discover (so to speak) at the end that you have won a life of FA with no other reward or penalty, or you'll discover that you've FA for 75 years or so and you get to FO for the rest of eternity.

So the BEST case scenario is 75 or so years worth of FA and then nothing.

Acting as your own god is not anything great. Trust me. I've done it.

You project a lot and you’re very dumb.
