when you start pushing your beliefs that the earth revolves around the sun, you're doing the exact same thing as the Pope's cardinals telling you the sun revolves around the earth.
utter nonsense, too

It's funny that someone would tell the guy not in the closet to come out.

I think he meant to say comes instead of come. You can't change anything on a thread title.

Cool -- I mean Alex was never in the closet.
The man wasn't hiding is believes -- & isn't using religion to hide behind.

his facebook page = lol...
"Alex, it's not too late, let the lord save you! Let him show you the light! It doesn't have to end here."
"I hope you don't kill yourself before you find out how wrong you are, otherwise, won't you be surprised when you meet your maker face-to-face. I'm praying for you to see the light. This explains a lot about why you're out there risking your life, you don't think there's anything to live for but the last thrill. I feel sympathy for your family and friends, you and they deserve better."
Seriously, how f*cked up is that one? How wrong you are? Seriously?

In the 60's if you fought for civil rights you had to be militant. Today, if you are an athiest you are forced to be, or accused of, being militant...but, yes, the times they are a changing.

In one of the very early climbing media interviews with Honnold, years ago, he said
"I’ve been reading a bunch of god-hating books recently. The Natural History of Religion, which attacks organized religion. This guy I was traveling with had some and now I’m on a kick. ... Um, I mean, I hope you’re not really into religion or anything."

I think it's more or less the person you are on this world that makes you what you are. Not where you're sent after you pass.

Jehovah said i was born in the pearly gates f*#k him,
I didn't wanna go to heaven anyway
but my momma had me on my knees with my hands gripped,

Take a look at the stated career credentials of the people scheduled to appear in the book. To me, the equation of "blogger" and "meaningful life" is about as plausible as the power of prayer.

define "is"
That's an easy one...
"GOD "IS" love" 1 John 4:8
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." - Revelation 1:8
"God is..."
Hebrews 12:29, 1 Corinthians 1:9,25,30 3:17, 4:20, 14:25,33, Psalm 7:11, 10:4, 14:5, 33:12, 46:1,5, 47:5,7, 48:3,14, 50:6, 54:4, 56:9, 59:9,17 62:7,8 68:15,20, 73:1,26, 74:12, 75:7, 84:11, 89:7, 94:22, 99:9, 115:3, 118:27, 144:15, Deuteronomy 3:24, 4:7,24,31, 6:4,15, 7:21, 10:17, 20:4, 33:27, 2 Cor 1:18, Romans 1:9,18,19, 2:2,24, 5:5, 6:23, 11:23, 14:17, 1 Sam 4:7,22, 10:7, 2Sam 22:33, Galatians 3:20, Job 27:3, 31:2, 33:12, 36:5,26, 37:22, 1 John 1:5, 3:20,3:33, 4:16, 5:9, Matthew 12:28, Philippians 1:8, 3:19, Proverbs 30:5, 1Thessalonians 2:5, 1 Timothy 4:4, 1 Chronicles 17:2, Acts 10:34, 28:28, Hebrews 13:16, Ephesians 4:24, Galatians 6:7, Genesis 20:11, 21:22, 31:50, 41:28, Mark 1:15, 12:29, John 6:33, 13:31, Luke 7:28, 10:9,11, 11:20, 16:16, 17:21, 21:31, 2 Timothy 2:9, Matthew 3:9, 22:32, Nahum 1:2, 2 Kings 8:7, Isaiah 8:10, 12:2, Exodus 20:20, Jeremiah 3:23, Daniel 2:47, Hebrews 6:10,11:16, Joshua 1:9, 23:3, Leviticus 21:12, Ecclesiates 5:2, Daniel 9:14, Numbers 6:7,23:19,21...etc.,
"God IS greater than man." Job 33:12
"For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar" (Romans 3:3,4). Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Author of all absolutes, Moral, Material, and Mathematical. Do the math: 2+2=4. Anything else is a lie."
"It really is that simple isn't it?"
"It's really that clear cut! The equations that govern our universe are not simple at all. In fact, they require the mind of an omniscient God, and the power of an omnipotent God. The singular God who has thus identified Himself in creation and salvation is the Lord Jesus Christ. PERIOD. What at Savior! He is Lord of all!"

BUT...
reject the above, and you might risk damnation. Billions of years of standing waist-deep in molten white-hot sulphur, while having invisible demons constantly poke you with sharp, pointy pitchforks, while they also devour your slowly-rotting flesh, one tiny bite after another.
I normally don't join in to these ridiculous conversations BUT THIS, this quote, how can one hold this sort of idea/belief? it's beyond comprehension.

Exactly, it's beyond you Klimbin...that's why it makes no sense to you.
"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints” (1st Corinthians 14:33).
The Bible is NOT supposed to make sense to unbelievers... “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are FOOLISHNESS UNTO HIM: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1st Corinthians 2:14).
Isn't this what you just said Klimbin? if it's not then it sounds really really close.
