Have you ever felt you were missing out on the good things church has to offer?

Nah, I was just at church. Ate some bomb sloppy joe, got to see an old friend from high school, donated something for the local charity, and boom I even get to tell other people I went to church for a good cause.

Win win.

Incidentally, I was more comfortable at church as an atheist than I was as a theist Tongue
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.
