If these resident theists really talk to god..

That's about the meat of it. Unfortunately the meat so far has been more like gristle and skin with just the promise of meat flavouring. Flame-grilled Whoppers, in fact.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Isn't anathema something that goes up your arse? Or am I thinking of something else? (Now that would be the true miracle!)

you're.. thinking .. enema there bud.
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. ![[Image: tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif]](https://66.media.tumblr.com/5fb74c6d16622fb3dbb358509c9aec03/tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif)
a thinking enema - what a horrible thought. I wonder what goes through its mind as it goes through you?
I'm not quite sure what it would think.. probably in some people's cases 'who put this rod up here!?'
Incidentally I too will have to look up anathema.

You want to look up Ana Thema - I think she only lets the boys do that.

This is what I love about this place...
We took a totally unsuspecting thread and without any effort or visible joins evolved it into sapient colonic irrigation, very accomodating ladies and an invitation to go where only Captain C has gone before.

I've seen too much, endured too much, been given well more than my share of good and bad and been carried through it all. For this I can not be silent, no matter what the mundane may think or say. You see, this is what gets you in trouble here. You arrogantly assume that since I haven't turned to god, I haven't suffered as you have. I'm quite certain I can go toe to toe with you as far as experience goes, and I was able to overcome my struggles without belief in a god. It's these assumptions you make about other people and how others couldn't possibly have been through what you've been that make you appear closed-minded and narcissistic. I have suffered just as you have. The only difference is I don't wish my suffering upon you in a desperate attempt to convince you that my religious views are correct.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
