Yes. if he were to (put it rather bluntly) show his face and tell us to stop it. we would all probably stop ourselves doing it.

You're giving me what can be seen as excuses for him not showing his presence. and I am questioning as to why it's such a big deal for his presence and intervention to be made.

Do you think everyone will get into heaven?
You are proving to me that you have no intention of discussion of the subject. all you do is keep asking questions in order to prove some sort of point. which happens to be misunderstood by yourself when making it.

Can you answer questions in between asking them too?
