That's your answer to everything, Min.
But.. He's absolutely right . If there's anything I've learned these last few months thanks to Donald Trumps hair-- it's that at least 54% of Christian Americans are still racist.
Cognative dissonance my ass, they want things to be like they were in the 'good ol days'. People have an inherent competitive spirit I believe , which is the drive of racism. When it comes down to it, the god of the bible is unrealistic if he will flood the whole earth of evil doers for unspecified evil doing, but all of a sudden 'go with the times' regarding slavery. I think the answer to your question is that those people are racists at their core. Racists or uneducated hypocrites who haven't thought their position through.
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!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
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.
