how, pray tell Min, do you detect Christians from atheists? I rather think its difficult. For instance most people assume I'm god fearing because sometimes I dress nicely yet conservatively. And I have a sweet face and I'm polite, empathetic, my voice is soft spoken, and I smile a lot..
Sometimes I feel like I'm the one misleading people..But I'm just being me. It sometimes pops into my head when I'm in public though, like thinking howmany of these Christians would die for me if put in a life or death situation? I already know without question I wouldn't hesitate to help them..And how many of them cheat and swindle and lie and are generally less moral than I? When I look all I see is humanity.
To answer the OPs question, I really don't care whose Christian and whose not. People are people, I judge their character by their actions and intent, not their beliefs.

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.
