So that's a no to the soup?

Mortality can only be defined by it's opposite - Immortality.

Can you give me some examples of immortal, conscious things?

"Spiritual darkness" is a conveniently meaningless term, usually signifying "not believing what *I* think they should be believing, and not doing what *I* think they should be doing."

And since "spiritual" is merely a state of mind with a thin veneer of mythology, it can change in an instant to a more beneficial state of mind.  Certainly no gods are required to make this happen, and certainly no gods are busting their asses trying to rescue people who are suffering in prolonged, hellish mental states.

Ah.  A myth, then.

Yes, a myth to the masses.
All the top christian forums can't even handle it, they've banned profile after profile of mine.  
No dishonest mortal likes to acknowledge their own mortality, especially when faced with what 'Life' really is.

While I concede that this is English and somewhat correct in structure as to be considered a sentence; it is lacking in even approaching anything meaningful. Please define terms and continue without trying to smuggle in a bunch of ideas because not everyone will share your understanding of the words. I would imagine that many people would reject the idea that literal Hell could be equated with "mortal" or "consciousness". Spiritual is a noodly term term as well and what do you mean by darkness? Many people equate spiritual with light, sometimes with different colors, but not usually darkness.

Yeah, when they blurt out that they’ve been banned lots of other places, it gives me an incentive to start looking. Wink

That’s a rotten thing to say. Stockholm is a lovely city.

It's not his fault, it's some kind of syndrome.

That didn't take long. Maybe we'll get a more rational universalist here someday.
