Whatup...

Welcome.
Hello my brother from another mother, glad you didn't wander for forty years in the wilderness.

Psh, now you guys all decide to jump onto the bandwagon.

But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret is as though it had an underlying truth.

Hey if you like Tartarus sauce.. I mean if Tartarus sauce likes you..
Try not to scare away the theists, I like some of them
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. ![[Image: tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif]](https://66.media.tumblr.com/5fb74c6d16622fb3dbb358509c9aec03/tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif)

No worries about me scaring anyone off, I'm pretty benign. (until I get to drinking  ) I was a believer up until a year or so ago and my pops is a preacher so I have the whole empathy thing going for me. Not that I won't call bullshit when I see it. Thanks for the welcome!

 I like Tarty? though. Oh I'm so not lettin this pass. Also, I have religious family. They took it surprisingly well, I only got called a puke slathered corpse on the side of the highway once .
