Alan, it may not be popular nowadays, but there are new inventive ways to fuse the extremes of capitalism and communism, as has been proven in theory and practice, and countries have not been torn apart. However I refuse to get into that because this is not a high school debate, we are dealing with very sensitive personal journeys, personal issues, which IMO you can learn to be more careful about.
You read what Eva said, found it illogical, contradictory and confusing for you personally, and determined for everyone else that it was not of God = the devil & would land someone in hell. You labelled her beliefs false. Such statements, whether implied or said outright, besides not working with the population at large, certainly don't belong in this environment, with the sensitivities here. What you did IMO, WAS a put down, even if a subtle one, intended or unintended.
You can say "I found this to be true for me" and share you experience. You can say "this works for me" and you could have said what you said PLUS a whole lot more, believe me. You can say as much as you want, until you label other people's beliefs false, etc.
