Christmas Traditions and Biblical Contradictions with Reality
November 26, 2016 at 10:57 pm
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.

Hmmm to make its story cohesive as possible with OT prophecies?

I thought one of the Magi was an entertainer/comedian. He brought mirth. Go ahead, look it up!

Thanks Huggy, I think this is a good thread to set things straight for believers and nonbelievers alike! You'd be surprised how little Christians give a fuck about actually reading the Bible. Of course, I could say the same about other religions with regards to mental laziness in their reasoning for beliefs--or non beliefs! However since Christianity chose me, I choose it to debunk this holiday. ^__^

Minimalist, I see you lurkin. Care to throw in some of your 'old wise man' knowledge and links? Wink
