I do not believe in hell (eternal hell), and I have a flare for puns, so... the handle just came to me.

Good question! Keep em' coming Smile .

(and thank you for the welcome!)

Welcome to the hellmouth, like Buffy used to say.
Uh... so what do you believe in, generally speaking? Personally, I'm not surprised more christians don't beileve in hell, considering that I don't believe it's mentioned at all in the bible and didn't become a prominant idea until much later, culminating into Paradise Lost and Dante's Inferno (both thumping good reads, IMO).

Alright mate! How are ya.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Let's see... generally speaking, I believe in God and the salvation of everyone... I also believe that I cannot know that my conclusions are 100% accurate (ala Agnosticism), and I also use a liberal sprinkling of logic interspersed in my conclusions.

Hmm...well, there are a couple believers on this site, but most really don't stay long. (I'm not trying to be mean, just saying.) You'll just have to be careful, and not try to avoid the topic when someone questions you on your beliefs. Hope you have fun here!

I appreciate it! I will not try to dodge the posts... but I will say that I'm not here to convert anybody, so if it looks like a storm is brewing, I'll simply say so and bow out. I also don't have a problem admitting that I don't know it all, and that I can't prove anything or believe anything with absolute certainty.

That kind of makes me a moving target, which is MUCH more difficult to hit ;-)
