It's why you cannot give xtians an inch. Ever.
Yeah but I'm confused still because when I was a Christian I liked to think I was on the side of righteousness which includes honesty and doing the right thing, and abiding by the rules of the land so long as they didn't conflict with my salvation. I felt I had to be honest with myself and others and there's just no way I would have felt upright as a Christian if I opposed the separation of religion and government. Even then I knew the horrific historical consequences of doing so. So I just can't seem to relate one way or another with these people who adamantly demand their Ten Commandments be lifted up above all the other religious totems and displayed on goverent property?
Perhaps a Christian could enlighten me on the subject?
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!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
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.
