Biblical Inerrancy - mandatory to be Christian?

Why would anyone do that? Are they masochistic?

That video would have been hilarious if the lady was just a voice actress, but sadly she is just that infantile in her understanding. I watched the whole thing rather than just starting at 2:00 and ending later, but the two guys on the show are great at finding the fundamental point, making the caller isolate it, and focusing on that premise. The lady... well, I can't say such kind words for her other than a great stubbornness of faith (she calls it the book of RevelationS...).

Are they masochistic? Kinda... I gave an analogy earlier when Rhythm wasn't on the ignore list (and pardon the language): Lets say I own a farm and you're a hired hand. You're also a douche. You continue being a douche for a long time, both to me and the other hired hands. Finally, I kick you off the property. I say you're allowed to come back when you quit being a douche for good. You never do. Am I unjust for not allowing you onto the property? You never met the menial goal of "stop being a douche". However, I'm not the only farm owner, and all the other farm owners kicked off their douches too. Now there's only one place you can go, and its called "Mt. FuckItSucks", and on Mt. FuckItSucks you have to live with a whole bunch of other douchers just like you. Now we have to rename the place "Mt. FuckItReallySucks". Has there been any crime of any farm owner or hired hand? Nope.

It's not that God is punishing them, but its that they refuse God as "God". God allows this. However, he does not allow those same people to reap all the benefits as the ones who are behaving. Just isn't right. The analogy doesn't fit this, but actually all directions away from God, regardless of choice, is hell. It's compared to a lake of fire because it sucks without God, not because God is actively creating the punishment. It is just for God to allow their pain eternally because they refuse to accept God eternally. If they were to hypothetically change their minds, they could. However, they won't. They think their way is better.

And for the record, I do not adhere to any divine command theory. The good is not simply good because God says so. The good is also not greater than God. The good is God. To have moral qualities is to resemble God.
