On Hell and Forgiveness

[Silver]

Convolution, got it.

Anecdote =/= evidence.  It's easy to see why a person offering the anecdote would think it does, and it's just as clear why the person listening would be justified in accepting it as anecdote, and disregarding it as evidence.

For what it's worth, I don't think that personal experiences of god are all that common - so much as the language of personal experiences (and personal relationships) is churchspeak for piety.

For whom are you advocating with this?  Give me something.
