RE: Differing Interpretations on Yahweh's Morality and Capabilities

Bringing up your own experience to validate Christianity to others is nonsensical Drich. You seem to be trying to hold firm by virtue of your belief to be properly basic and experience. That is useless if you're attempting to convert, and is a standard that you apply inconsistently.
Otherwise you'd accept all religious claims because the person trying to convert you had their own self-validating experience (say, meeting Vishnu in a dream vision) that is just as properly basic as your own supposed spiritual experiences. I could really care less whether you had an experience you took to be of Hell or something. Given that, from our perspective, your experience could be just as irrelevant, made-up and/orr entirely neurological (with no basis in God) as you likely think other people's of other religions are, it is an inference to the best explanation from our position, given no reason to accept your experience as valid evidence, even if it did occur.
Sort of reminds me of this Jewish guy who had some weird misfiring in his brain, which caused him to have a vision of the Virgin Mary....but he soon became a Buddhist. Lol.
In your first response Drich, you essentially said that we are not held responsible for our misunderstanding(s) of scripture, right? That really just seems away for believers to say that all who go to Hell rejected a god they knew existed because they liked sin, which is nonsense.
