And what did they learn from you?
I dunno. I was 7 last time I went to church. Maybe that indoctrination doesn't always work? I was soon to age out of the children's group at Worldwide Church of God, but they didn't want me to take part in the adult worship, so I don't know where they intended to put me.

Goofing up a code and intentionally misquoting someone are two different things. You still haven't answered my previous question.

I'm a little busy right now Tori... I will answer your questions later tonight!

And... I didn't want people [in general] to think I wrote that quote! that was my main purpose for pointing it out! I get enough bad press as it is!Wink

Why? What's stopping you from answering now? You're still replying to this thread so I can see you're not busy.

Anyone who read the thread can see you didn't say it, but if it's less bad press you want then perhaps you should start with that tone we discussed earlier that you continue to carry in this thread and others.

yeah its just about as annoying as
GC ending his gross manifesto with a Smile
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.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Maybe you are trapped in your parents basement.... But I'm employed. And my employer isn't interested in atheists.

I'm now seeing that answers aren't what you need. You seem to know what "anyone" here is thinking.

When one is already contributing to a discussion it's natural to assume that they have the time to respond to everyone. I haven't spoken any malice against you. Why do you insult me?
