Well according to this guy in the Catholic forums: Richard Dawkins is the high priest of atheism
So maybe he should debate Christians as to the validity of atheism as a non-religion.
I belong to a faith that has a set of dogmas, and you belong to a faith with dogmas as well. Atheism is full of materialist dogma and has it's own high priests, such as Richard Dawkins. But surely, the capacity for love and the desire to thrive is the same in both of us. So, the question insofar as I can reason is what do we do about that collectively? How can we love and thrive and grow together without regard to the contexts we are wrapping around reality with our theologies?

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.
