As a side note...if our conversation about atonement is over as you have suggested that it was...
Has it ever occurred to you that the responses you've given me (and the responses you've given others) to questions like these have the effect of reducing your faith to a naked appeal to the avoidance of hell?
Ultimately, all that is happening in your narrative is that we (lowly sinners that we are) are filing into his courtroom..where his verdict has been waiting for us, and again, has been made for no reason, with no evidence (he will certainly offer no arguments in his favor). Then, perhaps unceremoniously, we are filed away in the"heaven" drawer or "hell" drawer like so many manilla envelopes. Morality, goodness, all of these things utterly meaningless, how could they be anything but if this is the process the winnows us? This is pointless, it's a sham. -Even if we entertain the notion that it actually occurs-
