Well said, everyone. Minimalist.. Flaming assholes? 
I guess I'm just surprised at how openly religiously theistic presidential candidates for the Republican Party are, this year. For that matter racist too. I feel like I'm watching a race that was held in the 1950s, not in the new millennium fgs! Are these candidates just completely off the mark with the population as a whole--by throwing any decorum of professionalism out the window and promising that they'll rule with gods iron fist-- or is the population as a whole like minded as well? I can't seem to rectify this blatant disregard for government and fairness, with the type of Christianity that I practiced. For instance if I were to have held a public office, I would have seen it as my Christian duty to serve in the best interest of my constituents and be unbiased despite what I believed personally (or religiously ) about an issue. Because honesty in ones work is valued in the eyes of god and such and such. Even the issue of abortion and contraception, which is a hot topic for Christians. I'm truly shocked that the one person most Christians believe to be the inerrant speaker for god (the Pope), is being ostracized by his own following for being honest about global warming. Who are these people who think they know better and how many of them are there and why has things in America especially become so radical and out-dated? Still looking for some Christian feedback on this one..

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.

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