[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] One must listen carefully when discussing religion. Many terms are used to describe different things, depending on who's talking, and the dictionary isn't necessarily the final arbiter. My understanding of "the unforgivable sin" is this: If you know perfectly well that God has done something and you willfully ascribe it to ungodly forces, that might be it. You are intentionally not just lying about God, but are trying to get others to buy into the lie. If you think God is a dirty, hypocritical so-and-so and say exactly that, it's forgivable because God knows you really believe what you are saying. Even if it isn't the truth, [i]you[/i] believe it is and aren't trying to mislead anyone about it. If you don't believe something (about God) but try to get others to believe it, that's when you're in trouble. Hmmm... Sounds kind of like preachers as portrayed on TV or in the movies (not without some basis in fact, I'm afraid). [/QB][/QUOTE]
