Since Heaven and Hell are not temporal ..

[Chad32]

GC, some people cling to their falsehoods precisely because they do not want to believe...for whatever reason (usually so they don't feel guilty about it).

This is very true. I don't have any interest in learning more than I already know about christianity, or the other two Abrahamic religions, and no christian has ever said anything to change my mind. You want to believe Yahweh is good, despite the actions attributed to him, for reasons that I don't understand. We're probably not going to get past this impasse.

What christianity means has been debated ever since its conception. When all of you christians can figure out close to unanimously what christianity means, and stop fracturing into countless different groups, please get back to us atheists. If people who have a relationship with their god can't answer that question, what chance do we have?

I'm not sure why I'd feel guilty about sinning anyway. What do I care about the likes and dislikes of someone I've never met, and no one can prove he exists?
