Christians are interested in making other people Christians.
Atheists want to live their lives in peace.
Since the above is damn near impossible with religions of all kinds inciting hate and unrest (seemingly tied to any benefits they have to offer), and being involved in the very foundations of our society like law making: I'd say that as an atheist, I've had to change my wills in response. Now I'd finish the sentence as:
Atheists are interested in secular equality for all and religious freedom.
Good thread Jacob
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.
