Sure evil people burn witches, are homophobic, racist, sexist, ageist, you name it. That supports Christianity, it doesn't go against it.

I don't even know of any fundy idiot literalists who believe that. I know plenty atheists who make that claim. Wot a larf.
Here's one.

He's worth $30 Million dollars and has written these books including the most recent called, New World Order. He's also incited Americans to rise up against Obama over the "gobbledygook" healthcare plan like the Egyptians are against their dictator.

Broadcastingcable.com Wrote:TBN is seen in more than 5 million homes each week, according to that network's analysis of Nielsen ratings. And 700 Club has nearly 1 million viewers every day, says Robertson.
Quote:Robertson presides over an enormous (and tax-exempt) conglomerate comprised of the Christian Broadcasting Network, Regent University (of which the governor-elect of Virginia, Bob McDonnell, is a graduate), the American Center for Law and Justice (whose president, Jay Sekulow, is considered "the leading Supreme Court advocate of the Christian right"), and Robertson's "humanitarian" arm, Operation Blessing (which has been involved in highly questionable -- but lucrative -- relationships with brutal dictators like former Liberian president Charles Taylor, speaking of pacts with the devil). These are far-reaching, well-funded organizations with collective hundreds of million in assets and donations, which interact with the world's powerful, educate the next class of policymakers and lawyers, and project a conservative evangelical interpretation of politics and world affairs around the globe.
Is Pat Robertson influential? Maybe just a little bit.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
