I was talking to someone yesterday from church. They had mentioned that because I have a wicked sinful heart, that any and all external acts of benevolence to others was for nothing, and that I was still a terrible person at heart. The idea is that I am over compensating for being a terrible person by appearing to be nice. Essentially, his argument was that even though I had to be nice to him, I should never assume that the generosity will be recognized or awarded. This made me think, clearly me helping others is falling on deaf ears, which then makes me think why should I bother?

I agree the truth of it is important, and I'm confused why you would say whatever like your soul isn't important, and the fate of your people isn't important, and being lied to and manipulated isn't important. If I'm right or if I'm wrong it's not whatever.

I've given a reason why anyone who hasn't really thought about this should at least think about that. Call it a test of faith if you want our just use it to tighten up your beliefs but there's a reason this is difficult to answer.

I understand if you're devout and disagree with me, and I see White Christians as brothers and allies first and foremost. But to claim you're a Christian yet the fate of your soul, the question of following a religion that is true or subverted by evil is just "whatever" !? That pisses me off.

Well, this is an online forum, I didn't mean to be flippant, I was just saying "whatever," I won't be able to change your mind. (I know how strongly everyone feels about jews, and once something is connected to that it's hard to discuss things because it sometimes seems to unduly prejudice the thinking.)

My mind was changed back when I was 24 when God intervened in my self destruction.

As for the jews, they've appropriated a lot of stuff to themselves, it doesn't make it fundamentally wrong. I'm sure we agree on many things, I have to rush out the door, would be good to talk again.
