Afterlife is even more arrogant because they say what is happening and will happen to people.
For instance people say to me that I will go to hell when they in fact know nothing about god or afterlife. Makes me want to punch them in the face.
Thanks for not coming down to hard on me for making you clarify, despite my being pretty sure of what you meant.
Now that I understand, I agree with you entirely. I hate when people smash on homosexuals and their responce upon my inquiry as to why they act as they do is "Because Gawd condemns them to hell".
That's like a double offence in my opinion- open bigotry, followed by a threat of an imaginary place of eternal torture for a minority group whose only offence is locked in their own bedrooms on occasion. I simply can't believe it.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
