...is a problem too. Neither should be influencing policy.

We generally don't unless you go around making laws and telling people what they can and can't do but Christianity doesn't have that kind of power these days. There's the occasional annoyingness like denying evolution but that's more of an American/lack of a decent education issue. There's also a slight taint of homophobia still present in Christianity, in every other area like racial equality it's all fine and good but one or two problem areas.

LOL, not even.
I've stated it before, I'm proud of it!

fr0d0 knows that I think he's both a liar and a troll and he still wishes to engage... Undecided

No, it just means you're an idiot, like I said the other day.
You did? I missed that Sad

I'm sure catfish could find the bible quote to back that up for you. I guess you'd spin that to continue with the brown nosing right?

I think you don't until it gets in your face, which in my community will very rarely happen. Hate is too strong a word.
Agreed completely with the rest of what you said.

Speaking to the void...

I enjoy it. Why do you think I'm here? Do you think I'm here because most people agree with me? I'm confused if you're saying you're here to converse with people that agree with you? Is that how it works for you?

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.

An example of fr0d0's tactic:

fr0d0: You're not a Christian.
Me: Prove that I'm not.
fr0d0: Prove what?
ME: That I'm not a Christian.
fr0d0: I never said that!
ME: Yes you did, right here (insert link here).
fr0d0: Stop avoiding my question.
ME: I answered it already
fr0d0: No you didn't.
ME: Yes I did, you're either lying or trolling. Possibly both.
fr0d0: You're not a Christian
ME: Insert reiteration and a prediction of fr0d0's response.
fr0d0: (fullfill catfish's prediction here)
ME: You have unfinished business.
fr0d0: What would that be?
ME: Stop lying, you know exactly what it is.
fr0d0: blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
ME: Oh geeze, (insert short, curt, fact to piss him off)
fr0d0: Lather, rinse, repeat.
ME: I'm still a Christian, does that bother you?
fr0d0: Do you believe (insert pagan belief here)
Me: Fuck no!
fr0d0: Then you're not a Christian.
Me: Prove it then...
