Firstly, I think it would actually be a meaningful exercise to find out why American Christians differ from their counterparts. Secondly, most of the replies I've seen seem on par with what you or an atheist would receive if they said they were going to write the same manner of book. Quite often I've found that what's perceived initially as hostile from those on this board turn out to be constructive thinking replies meant to help you (think Sensai say "wipe on wipe off" but turns out youre learning the motions of a defense move? In truth it's a learning experience that I would never give up the ability to have. Some can or can't handle it. I myself prefer critical thinking over contented thinking any day!
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.
