Mother wants to start going to church...
#17
RE: Mother wants to start going to church...
Sorry to hear about your Dad :*(

Why don't you ask if you can take your mother out to lunch after she goes? Pick her up from the church?

Also.. Let your little brother choose as he wishes.. that's sort of between him and his mum. Since I'm assuming he still lives with her? If he says he's not going, that's his right. It's also her right to ground him or whatever.

Lastly, if put in this situation myself.. I would go. I know.. But I would. If only to support her and make sure she's not alone with wolves.
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!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

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.
