Tex Wrote:I'm describing Christian afterlife. We're assuming Christianity since the question was "how was there even a sacrifice?". This relates. If you'd like, I can give a proof, but I'm sure you have either heard it before or would dismiss it immediately due to presuppositions.
Please, don't tell me what I would or wouldn't dismiss. It's a pet-peeve of mine.
Yes, we are assuming Christianity, but that doesn't explain how someone who doesn't believe is making a willful choice to go to hell. I am actually interested in your answer.
(If your answer is quite long, we can start a new thread, because it's not on topic.)
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
