Well hello there, I like your name
 So did you write a decoversion story? All the new people sorta blend together to me until they make a name for themselves nowadays.. It helps if I can differentiate them by geographic location, so where you from? That is, unless you have a wicked sense of humor or are blatantly an ass like Minimalist over there .. 
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)

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Location would be Europe->Croatia , as for the wicked sense of humor only time will tell and I'm not sure I follow you what you mean by " decoversion story". @Tonus Yeah well I kinda like to think of it as adaptation to atheism it was a bit hard for me to let go of "sky-daddie" haha but we have to grow up sooner or later hehe.
Croatia huh? Sooooo.. you're Russian?

Welcome!
I second the motion that you tell us more about yourself in a deconversion thread!  SoothsayerIn the introduction section you will find a thread related to "deconversion" called Converts Corner. It is a place where Your story of how you came to atheism can be put. Not mandatory but does give members a little insight into who you are.
