The whole thing is juicy and valid. Watch it.

If you want me to take the time to answer a given arguement, then I expect you to take the time to write it out. If you can't be bothered to write out a question then don't bother me to write out an answer.

Quote:The fact that one might HOPE that the inevitable suffering involved in living on Earth might in some way be compensated after that life ends has NO bearing on whether or not this is what actually happens.What are you talking about here? Our suffering in this life has nothing to do with Heaven. You do know we are talking about Christianity, no? In Christianity our entrance into Heaven is not based on what we do or experience. It is based on attonement.
The reward I was speaking of was given to us here as with Job.
