Onthewayout that is what I liked about Ray Franz. Even though he remained Christian, he didn't preach that if others were not Christians, that they would go to hell. Who knows? Maybe he was uncertain himself about the existence of God.

Yes Faye. It seems that Ray was a very humble and genuine man. I am pretty sure he would be the kind of person who would do his best to answer sincere questions. Like I said, an an atheist, I want to keep learning. I'm not the type of atheist that would mock or use sarcastic comments to prove my point or bring anyone down. I am not implying that the atheists on JWN are like that either. Of course, all of us here have different personalities and the way we say things might be taken the wrong way by others.
I need to read "In Search of Christian Freedom". Thanks for bringing up that book.

Hello Faye. :D I understand he was a Christian. I just want to know if there were any sources or direct quotes from him on his thoughts on atheism. That is all. If he were still alive today I would have asked him myself. It would be interesting if he were still alive to see if he could address some of the questions some atheists on JWN want to hear answered as some theists on here like Perry and William Draper just does a hit and run post. I tried to tactfully engage in conversation with them with genuine sincerity and no sarcastic intent to no avail. -

William you never got back to me about some of the religious questions I have through PM. Being an open minded atheist, this really puts me down as I am hoping to have a genuine and sincere discussion with theists. Do you just plan on ignoring me? I was nice to you from the start and and not as frank and rude as some atheists here (not all) but I just keep getting ignored so I asked you again to read my PM. -

Hello Fernando,
Thanks for that. I have a few more questions.
How do you explain the barbaric methods God used back in the Mosaic Law?
Also will I go to hell if I continue to be an atheist?

Hey seekingagape,
I enjoyed your interview. I am a borderline atheist but seeking more for answers and open.
If I may ask, what makes you still have faith in God and belief in the bible?

She did respond to one of my comments on her other posts.
Doesn't hurt to keep trying but I am giving up. Well, I still wish the best for her. Maybe one day she will be open but it will take time.

@Nicola
Your behaviour is really becoming sour. If you claim to be Christian, why the threats? Should'nt you be a peacemaker?
