Oh, you're a nationalistic fuck as well? Somehow, that doesn't surprise me.

Assuming this to be the case, do you think I deserve it? Bear in mind my 'crime' is 'not believing in something I saw insufficient evidence for', and my punishment would be eternal torment (FOREVER).

Do I deserve it?

Yeah...but if you do something that's "not right" in pursuit of doing something that is, do you still deserve to be punished?
For eternity?

You might want to re-read those quotes Lucent if you think they back your assertion.

Not doing what is right is always not doing what is right.

But the question is "do you think he deserves it?"

There is plenty of evidence, but only God can prove Himself.
Can you tell me what evidence you speak of? What does it actually involve? If it is just a sensuous thrill, or is it your God revealing himself in physical form, telling you that it is his creation, and can willingly disprove that all other gods are begot by imagination? Why is your "evidence", different from the "evidence" received from men of different faiths? I'm sure their "evidence", or sensuous faith, is exactly the same as yours.

Shit, then god's been revealing himself to me at the most inconvenient time. Then again, I was yelling his name.
