You wrote, " People and you are just tormenting yourself with unprovable beliefs. " I'm not a 'christian flaggelator' or someone who spends his life holed up in a small monastery room or one of those lost in guilt over their sins or someone who believes he will go to hell if he masterbates. What unprovable beliefs of mine are you refering to? With what unprovable beliefs am I tormenting myself? " Silver " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember how the discussion arose. You'll have to answer the question for yourself. What beliefs do you have, and are they provable?
