I mean if I was to accept Jesus I could bash a baby off of rocks and eat its corpse and Jesus would still accept me into heaven as long as I put faith in him. Conversely according to Christian teaching Gandhi is burning in hell right now.
You and I know that, but the bible also teaches to accept it all uncritically by faith.
Shit doesn't have to make sense if you've got faith!
Which is peticular in and of it self. If God was real why the emphasis on taking his existence on faith? I don't ask you to take my existence on faith, would be preposterous. In fact there is nothing that has been proven to be true that was demanded to be taken on faith first. Incidentally you know who really push faith as a virtue? Conmen.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
