I challenge Bad Wolf to a Doctor Who trivia vs Esquilax, and we can see just who'se the Whovian of the who's.
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.

It's gonna be him, if he's familiar with classic Who.

Since esquilax has partially withdrawn his previous comment, then so shall I. I apologise.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Anybody seen this?
Guinness World Record For The Day Of The Doctor
Also: Just been watching An Adventure In Space And Time on the BBC iPlayer. I expect I'll stop crying in a bit. If David Bradley doesn't get an award for his uncanny and deeply moving portrayal of William Hartnell, I'm going to organise mass exterminations.
I might have to rewatch Peter Davison's excellent The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot to counteract it.
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.'

Oh my god how fucking sad was that ending?
My guts did not need that punch, Gatiss! They did not!

The story of those genesis years is one that's ingrained in fandom history; it was fascinating to see it brought to life. For an hour and a half, I really was in the sixties, in the presence of pioneers. Even though I knew how it was going to end.

I am in the process of downloading the special, but I also have other shows to watch. I will post what I think of it after I have seen it.
