Ah, I think I see now. The contention is that some would argue we deserve hell, but not the bullet. Neither is deserved, even if I suspend my disbelief to consider it.

You don't have the right to disagree, its the man with the gun making the rules, setting the choices, and determining the outcome. Who are you to question the will of the man with the gun?

Seriously, fuck these people for even entertaining the notion.
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!

Ah, but you do have the right to disagree, whether the gun man likes it or not. I would get what was coming to me -- deserved or not -- despite my opinion, but no one can take that opinion, assuming god hasn't evolved into the mind police as well.

Matthew 5:28. Thought crimes are already handled Shell. Your opinion has been considered, your sentence has been set. Apparently, btw, god can indeed remove your sinful thoughts, or whatever he determines to be sinful, ask Salty.

Punishable does not mean undoable. I can still disagree. I will just be sinning in doing so. At any rate, I believe I am being too literal. I agree with your sentiment. It's an unjust way of thinking. We are copacetic on that.

Vulcan mind melds from Salty, literally removing sinful thoughts.

A demon from Ryft who molests you while reminding you of how deserved the whole twisted bit is.

Salty is delusional. (Sorry, Salty, but you took the Bible and turned it into your own fairy tale).

On a side note, we may do an AF calendar, considering Slutty Summer and Smutty Shelly have taken over the Member Photos thread. You should donate your wife for a pic. Tongue
