Can't say as I've ever met a person who admits that they're a sinner deserving of death, likes what they hear about Christian salvation, but walks away because they can't definitively determine the fate of the souls of every person who's ever lived. So...no, not very important.
Then you haven't been paying much attention, John. A good cluck of people here have serious qualms with the certainty (don't play) of Hell and eternal torment with regards to your Religion.
Not that you care, but the Crux of my "Salvation" was the abandonment of other's salvation. It still is. If I got handed a free Go to Heaven card after death because somehow your god exists--I could not accept it so long as anyone from this Earth is placed in eternal punishment for their actions upon this type of set up "Creation".
I'd spit on it, even, at the audacity of such a being, and spend eternity in hell with all the other overpowered beings rather than spend eternity in heaven listening to the laments and suffering from down below. NO ONE deserves that for this.
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.
