Eh there's witch doctors today who do crazy things like eat body parts. Someone brought up that albino's were highly coveted for their "magical powers" and thus are killed quite often. There is indeed a magic trade in effect right now--people buying services from one witch doctor for something, or for protection from spells cast from another. It's sad, pathetic, and yes babies get eaten.
Doesn't help having outside influences enter SUPPORTING the delusion even further by offering their own brand of imaginary protection and spiritual warfare. They bolster the belief systems by claiming that theY know what is going on and that theY know how to deal with it. They're just glorified con artists, and I don't care if you believe the shit you spew or not: at the point where you see the damage you do, you should stop.

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.
