So wrong on both counts? I don't drink fr0ds. I am, however, described as 'blonde'.
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!

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

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

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.

I know a few officers that drink alcohol. Some roles they have a stance on alcohol, as there are many ex alcoholics in the organisation who rely on the organisations support.
Yeah I was surprised in the UK that they were allowed to advertise and employ a Christian specifically. The shop included a prayer space and a ministry attached which is how they did it I think.

The SA is a religious movement primarily, so if you have religious objections then yes, you could justifiably want your charity to go elsewhere. I know a lot about them obviously. I'm no longer on the books, I fought hard to be removed when I became an atheist. I specifically hate any kind if traditionalism. I do know that in their charity work the administration costs are met largely by the membership, so that public donations go directly to the cause.

Yeah I'm tired, but I still don't get what you're saying if you're not Australian or an atheist.

The SA aren't an Australian movement. They began in the UK. The place I went two was their 2nd ever place of worship.
I left them around 25 years ago, and became an atheist a couple of years later. I fought to be removed from their records. About 5 years ago I became a Christian again. My beliefs are pretty much identical to theirs, hence my religious position. I don't go to church or get together with other Christians hardly at all. I know a lot of Christians, my wife included. She's SA and so are my kids.
I did go and try the SA, I went to a home group for a few weeks. I also tried a pente church group. I can't stomach either of them.
