What would you think about a person who wears this mask?........What information would it give you about them?.......

Since you're not interested in answering the question posed on this blog, I don't give a crap about your comment.

I will join the Heaven's Gate cult, and spend eternity riding a spaceship chasing the Hale-Bopp comet.

People wearing masks with those type of messages are cultists, who can't even tolerate other people’s differences. I'll steer clear away from them.

I would shy away from someone wearing a mask with that on it. They are obviously promoting something. I respect people who have their religious convictions but you could take this two ways.

I will just have to wait and see. I hate masks with slogans like that on them.

Exactly my point......Everyone gets to believe whatever they want....Foisting their beliefs on others using fear tactics is despicable......Reminds me of when my two Jehovah Witness sisters sidled up to me at my baby daughter's funeral, which was a year after my father's ......and they said to me that I couldn't have loved my daughter and my father very much if I didn't want to see them again in Paradise.......That's what this mask and other manipulative messages attempting to coerce others to their own beliefs reminds me of.....

They don't understand that we are content with that eventuality.....I think that messages like the one on this mask advertise the wearer's fear of death ....We Humans have been telling ourselves stories of the afterlife for millennia.. and each one is different.....I prefer the ones that include the realization that they are only stories ......good stories.....fabulous, entertaining and creative, but just stories.

I like some of the fun masks I see online, especially the snouts, but I just don't care enough to order them.....

Hi sparkle, Its not easy to hold on to your beliefs these days. I respect what others beliefs are. I prefer to believe in what I was taught in my youth, that I might arrive at the gates of paradise. If its dust to dust and nothing else theres nothing I can do about that: but its paradise for me!!

I've seen this on shirts and caps, and I find it to be unnecessarily confrontational. If one wants to make a statement about Jesus, then make it, not confront others about their beliefs. There are a lot more tasteful caps, shirts, and masks than this one. In fact, why does a mask have to make a statement at all? It's just a piece of medical equipment, not a fashion statement.
If you want an answer to the eternity question, I believe you already know mine. I believe in and accepted Jesus. He is the Son of God, and He died for me and He arose again from the dead, after suffering my time in Hell. I put my trust in Him for my very being and for my eternity in Heaven. I don't have all the answers to all the questions that people ask about the Bible, and I don't get into arguments about my beliefs. I believe what I believe and I let people be free to believe what they chose also, but I'll gladly share it with anyone who is genuinely interested, but not in a public forum. I'm banking my eternity on my relationship with the Lord, and if I'm wrong and this life is all there is, then I have lost nothing and enjoyed a life of trusting and believing in something greater than myself.

EXCUSE M%E FOR BEING SIMPLE MINDED BUT THAT MASK SEEMS TO BE A SIMPLE WARNING ABOUT THE RISKS OF NOT WEARING ONE. GOES TO SHOW WHAT I KNOW.

you can believe whatever you like, I was questioning the toxic evangelizing
that this mask represents.

How so? I stated my stand about a mask with a slogan like that.
And since others were answering the question the mask asked, I gave my belief on the subject. Or because I said "and if I'm wrong"? Well that's my answer to those who ask me that question, and yes, people do.
Or was it about the personal message I sent in the 'where I'm quoted' section? I sincerely meant what I said.
People can share their beliefs without attacking other people for believing differently, can't they?

You say ". I believe what I believe and I let people be free to believe what they chose also, but I'll gladly share it with anyone who is genuinely interested, but not in a public forum."

Yet you chose to recite most of the Apostle's Creed in your comment...Why? Do you think we aren't already aware of the teachings of Christianity or your personal beliefs?.......despite your daily participation in a preaching blog and your many many declarations of "Faith" ? You take every opportunity to slide your religion into the discussions here......Your claim that you don't share your religion in a public forum is not only contradicted in the same comment, but every single day on this public forum.

Sharing on a blog about Christian values is not exactly a public forum because it is about the subject. And I shared what I did on your blog because it answered the question on the mask, and others also commented on that question.
Perhaps I should have said that I don't argue or condemn others for their beliefs? That is probably more accurately what I meant.

WEARING OR NOT WEARING A MASK IN ENCLOSED PLACES OR ON BUSY STREETS HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ETERNITY. YOU DO NOT WEAR A MASK, THE RISK OF CONTAMINATION AND PERHAPS DEATH IS FAR GREATER THAN IF YOU DO WEAR ONE. AND DEATH UNLESS YOU BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION IS PERMANENT THUS ETERNAL.

The question on the mask is "WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SPEND ETERNITY ?" ......You seem to have missed the word "WHERE" .....
