Attn: Christians, We've Heard Them Already
RE: Attn: Christians, We've Heard Them Already
Here in America I grew up wearing a cross, teachers talked openly about god because we were all Christian. They never brought up issues pertaining to god because they didn't have to. The education they were giving was purposefully omitting information and leading. What's more it was fully inadequate. I feel ignorant for having gone to school here, and I graduated with honors. I used to wonder why secularists and equal rights advocates had to throw a circus to be heard. No more do I wonder. If you want my honest opinion, an assumed deism in the form of the "in god we trust" slogan is considered collective worship. Exclusion of opposing viewpoints or facts detrimental to the collective Christian majority iis Christian education. I don't disagree that racism is an assumed factor in discrimination towards immigrants but I feel the driving force of that-- the engine of the car: is and has almost always been one religion calling on its supreme being to trump its followers into feeling comfortable about being racist. You don't need people willing to put the Jews in an oven themselves, you just need to give them adequate reasoning to believe those people deserve to be ostracized from the collective group. Other driving forces like cowardice, sadism, revenge, patriotism, codependency, manipulation, greed, etc. Fuel the mechanism. Without the engine though, the car wont go. Without that driving force pushing people over the edge of no return by means of a trump god card, I don't think that there would be Samantha incidences of straight up genocide.
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!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

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.
