Hell and the Play Nice Christian

[Cinjin]

I really didn't intend to shit 'n run but I did sort of post one OP and disappear.

It was a fun read though upon my return.
Same old "tough shit, enjoy your hellfire" argument from GC. (take a bow)
Lek is slightly more friendly, offering us the "hey, relax its a temporary torture" argument. (take a bow)
I was hoping ChadWooters would jump in with his theory about god's big people-baking oven, but alas, I got nothing.
YG is fond of the "not my problem, it says what it says and I'll interpret how I see fit" argument (take a bow)
And of course all of my fellow enlightened non-believers offering up both humorous and insightful responses.

As always, I still have no conclusive answer to the question presented to the christians, as they can never agree on even the most basic premises of their "faith", but I thank you all for your interesting and sometimes bewildering responses.


Oh, this is sort of post script on the derailed portion of the thread:

The reason why some children invent a god in their minds without any indoctrination is the same reason we want to fly into space without ever having seen a rocket ship. We long to understand our own existence. Furthermore, those children on that theoretical desert island won't accept your Jesus. They'll do exactly what the rest of the human race did. They'll create groups and invent their own separate belief structures. In short order, they would become angry that one group didn't validate their particular god and they'd end up killing each other over a belief in a being that christians claim instilled those children to find and love him. History has proven to us that children don't invent a god because there's a real one out there shooting 'belief rays' into humans. What kind of inept god would create humans with a default setting to believe in any god they could come up with?!? It would be utter chaos and lead to endless wars and human tragedy and ... oh ... right.
