So, this is kind of nice: notorious gay conversion ministry Exodus International will be voluntarily shutting down. There was even an apology.

Isn't this pleasant? Proper, actual christian love? Even if it came years too late, isn't it nice to see some growth from a fundamentalist sect?

I am certainly glad they shut down, because places like that always end up doing more harm to people than good.

You know, as much as I despise the bullshit these people have peddled, I commend them for the strength it took to publicly admit they were wrong, especially something they held such deep convictions towards.

Absolutely; much as we tend to rag on the pig headed, unreasonable religious folks, it's important to show some respect for decisions like this, which had to take some real courage and introspection to undertake. This kind of behavior needs to be encouraged.

Can you imagine the denunciations which will be piled on them from pulpits across the bible belt?

Next we'll be hearing about cats joining forces with dogs and Nazis rethinking their position viz the Jews.

So, pretty much they've realized their bullshit is bullshit.

[Image: exodus+advert.jpg]
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.
