If I may be so bold, I think it only proper you use some derivation of the word 'fuck' in your letter, at least once. Conventional wisdom isn't always correct, some bridges require burning.

Hahaha! Totally. I'm still trying to shy off the stigma charged idea of the church that profanities are always inappropriate. hahaha. But if I do use profanity, it might vindicate their idea that all atheists are mad and are now victims to the anger of Satan. hahaha

So do they send you any response, to confirm that you're now off their list of "people not going to eternal fiery torment"?

Tongue

I kinda agree with fuckface over there. Fuck is totally relevant when resignation letters are concerned Wink

I didn't used to be able to say that word, and now I do. Whenever I want Devil
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.

Great intro. Thanks for sharing. It seems that your incredible honesty was your downfall, or saving grace Smile
I hope you can get past the injustices that were carried out against you quickly and enjoy your life with your wife.
