I'm entirely confused at how you can criticize the nastiness you see here, yet think it's perfectly reasonable to believe that others will go to hell for not having the same beliefs.I guess because I don't see myself making extremely crude personal attacks and if I certainly haven't made a habit of it. Yes, I believe that atheists that die in their disbelief will go to Hell. I also believe that believers that do not act on their faith can also go to Hell. But everyone participating on AF is still alive, and presumably still rational. No one deserves to go to Hell, but if you deny God up until your dying day, then you will suffer in the afterlife. Just because we believe it doesn't mean we rejoice in it.

God Loves Me, Too

I couldn't breath either if I was for eternity in the company of sanctimonious people. If that makes me an evil spirit, so be it. Quite a good safeguard to be rid of your heaven. When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I couldn't imagine never having good sex, and not even knowing I was having mediocre/bad sex and thinking that was as good as it gets... I definitely think this is different for women than for men.This doesn't address the question. Yes, sex is awesome. Why can't it be awesome for two people who marry as virgins? Even if it's not awesome at first, why can't they learn? It's certainly fun to practice.  (April 4, 2013 at 6:45 pm)John V Wrote: This doesn't address the question. Yes, sex is awesome.

Because no matter how much they practice and learn, sometimes one individual will never be sexually sasisfying for the other person. It is not selfish to want to be sexually satisfied, and if an individual in a marriage cannot obtain that satisfaction, it is okay to divorce and seek the satisfaction elsewhere. Marrying as a virgin without getting some perspective and experience beforehand is, well, lame.

So, telling people that they will become warped to the point of having no conscience because of the choices they make and the things they prioritize is not a crude, personal attack?

If no one deserves to go to hell, then why does god send them there? Isn't one of his qualities supposed to be that he is perfectly just?

They were attracted enough to get married, they're communicating, practicing, and learning. That's a recipe for eventual satisfaction. RE: God Loves Me, Too

Or foolish enough to get married......No matter how many salmon eggs you put in a pan you will never end up with chocolate brownies.

No matter how many times one has sex with a sexually unsastifying individual, the sex is not going to get any better. Some people simply are not sexually compatible. That is just the way it is.
