If Hell is Not Real

No, the likelihood of accountability in the afterlife is much smaller then even the likelihood of it here. So we should make the most of such chances as there are to hold them accountable here.

I'll support the idea of a war crimes trial at the Hague for these bastards. I was just being cynical.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too." ... -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept "(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question" ... -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist  Quote:Rayaan, I refuse to believe that you are that dense. You're a kind man Min. 
I know....getting soft in my old age.

Christianity didn't become so entrenched and so powerful from the promise of heaven, it grew out of the fear of eternal damnation and burning forever, along with threats, torture, execution and Inquisitions. It was implanted in the minds of the ignorant and uneducated. Most modern day educated people, I feel sure would not believe a word of it. We don't need to "assume" that hell was a man-made invention, it most definitely was. There are many intelligent Christians, no doubt, but an "intellectual Christian", is surely an oxymoron.

Sorry if that disappoints you, Min, but thanks for trying to give me the benefit of doubt.

Yeah....every time I try this 'milk of human kindness' shit it turns sour.

The Earth is quite an improbable place, too, and I think Hell would be even less improbable to exist since it is simpler than the Earth and just contains of a lot of fire, smoke, and boiling water. Nothing that complicated it seems. Ryaan wins the "taking science out of context award" for atheist forums.org. He does not understand "branes", he is absolutely wrong on Earth being an improbable place, and thinking a mythological place has a better chance of existing than a place that actually DOES exist.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
