I thought the Roman condemnation of Christians is a myth.
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.

They didn't care for 'em much, but the degree of persecution has been exagerrated. Basically it was the Christians who got in their way that they persecuted...just like anyone else who got in their way.

Maybe 50 or 60 years from now when science finally proves that all of you are right and there is no God..... and religion dies out for you!
Where as a society will the moral compass come from? Considering of course you even want a moral society?
Will it be: Laws? hmmmm...who will instill these laws? Teachers? Police? Parents? Military? Government Agencies?
Will it be community groups? Say like: Acorn? YMC...whoops....Boys & Girls & Gay clubs? Planned Parenthood? The cities or states?
Or will it be just every "being" for themselves, and NO LAWS? Total FREEDOM! WOW!! Freedom to do ANYTHING!! And no one to tell you differently!
I'm just wondering what it will be like in "Your Perfect World" w/o God & religion?
Let us see where the moral compass points in a world w/o God?
Everything would be like Scandinavia. Where they've already pretty much become majority atheist.
Luke: You don't believe in the Force, do you?
Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
