The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

What the fuck does it matter?
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!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

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.

Agreed, I see this as the first rung of the ladder.

Because I haven't transferred the newer ones from my old comp to my new one yet! For some reason, my phone is also not delivering to my email today. Will post new one soon!

Thanks, I'm glad to be here!

I got that poster in late 1991. Still have it on the wall behind me!

I'm a photographer so I noticed your camera in the background. Do you use that camera?Smile

Unfortunately no. The last decent camera I had is useless now and I am stuck with my phone. Angry
