Telling children that they are going to hell is abusive?

He knows better, he understands that he doesn't have evidence perfectly well.  He's just a whining sack of dishonest shit, lol.

You're wrong about me. I would say the Quran is evidence that the Christian bible is untrue. It says things about Jesus that contradicts what the NT says. It just happens to be very bad evidence, like a witness in court who is exposed as a liar.  

Now you keep saying I don't understand what evidence is. I use the word in the normal everyday sense. I've made it clear what I mean. So, you must be using the word evidence in some sort of eccentric way. Tell me what you mean by evidence and perhaps we can get off the roller coaster. Wikipedia will do:

[b]Evidence[/b], broadly construed, is anything presented in support of an assertion.[1] This support may be strong or weak. 

Clearly, on this definition the NT is evidence of the existence of hell. So is what Our Lady said at Fatima about hell. I'll repeat what I said before: by using the words 'no evidence' instead of 'evidence I don't accept' you don't have to actually give reasons or arguments for your point of view. And that's because internet atheists are a particularly uninformed and ignorant lot.

BTW, I don't trust your honesty and that you are giving a true account of this Platinga fellow's views. I know nothing about him but give me a source where you have become familiar with his views. I find it hard to believe you have actually read any of his books. You don't strike me as someone who reads books at all.
