Wow. I don't think I've ever seen Sexobon get so sharp with anybody.
JB: I know you think you are right. You have the power and love of Christ on your side after all. But not all of us see the world in the same way that you do. The words you use, the way you present faith, the way you encapsulate Jesus is, to many, offputting. It doesn't draw people to God, it doesn't even open their minds to him. All it does it push them further away from where you want them to be.
Thanks for answering my question about why you believe. Your analogy was quite good, i think, if I understood it correctly. Did you mean you prefer the flavour of life with God in it and dislike the flavour of life without God in it?
I personally don't have a vast preference for Coke or Pepsi. At a push I'd plump for Coke. Why? Because it is the most familiar of the two. As a kid coca-cola was more available than pepsi-cola, and the logo and colours of coke are more ever-present on my television screen than pepsi ever was.
I like Coke because I like the colour scheme, the packaging, the familiarity and the adorable polar bears. I like Coke because it signals Christmas and holidays. because of the blitzkrieg advertising at those times of year. I quite like the way it tastes too. But I also like the way Pepsi tastes. I just don't like the way it is packaged, and the ads never hit me the same.
Neither of them are as good as Dr Pepper, or a nice Dandelion and Burdoch though :P
