I liked to think I was a true christian, when I was one. I disagreed with most of the christians out there however; and I would bow my head and look down as they spoke and acted out policies that I did not agree with in the name of god. Perhaps I just grew up with extremist christians (although we have been to a wide spectrum of christian churches in 3 states), but either way they can all point to somewhere in the bible for their beliefs. I too thought they were acting upon the word differently than god intended--until I researched this word and its tenets in detail and realized they were right on with their beliefs. The bible does speak to what they believed, they were justified by it in their actions based on their beliefs. Don't believe me? Ask Drich, he's got it pretty down pat. I would always wonder if their consciences would catch up to them, but it would 'seem' as if they were fortified in their beliefs by their god. I'd wonder if it was the same god that I had grown up thinking I knew, or if I'm acting out beliefs on my own apart from god. In the end, I concluded after reading said bible without blinders on and learning that it's just a load of nonsense written by man--that if there is a creator out there it's not the one the christians represent, and I will find said creator outside of religion. Until/if I do, I'm going to start at zero and see where the actual evidence takes me. In my humble opinion, christians have their own selfish reasons for their delusions.
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.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
