MAMEWorld Forums - The Loony Bin - Re: So how come Christians eat bacon?

I did leave this one out initially at first. I wanted the pot to simmer just to clear out the crybaby emotionally-stunted P.C. crowd.

That quote of yours, Greybeard, The Religiously Insane Troll, gives me pause: Why would anyone want to hope anyone who decides to use their own brains, brains given to them allegedly by a deity that made them in its own image according to your dogma, winds up being condemned forever within a pit of burning torment?

Burning torment, as in having the flesh seared from your body with zero painkillers. And yet having your nervous system left intact to feel each searing flaming whiplash of fire and brimstone. Just enough regeneration so that no harm is done to destroy such agonizing sensory input. But long enough to last the infinite time of eternity.

How does it look and feel? Send such inquiries to burn-ward patients.

Yeah. Believe in a "loving god" and you'll get that "eternal life". But the odds, given the statement quoted above, of avoiding the char-broiled flesh-roasting fires is exceptionally and aneorexically slim for anyone who chooses to think, ask questions and learn about the world around them. That's how geniuses develop.

And why didn't Jesus condemn such a place, a wrongly-punished man alleged to be a savior to humankind?

I, of ALL people, would NEVER condemn anyone to a place like that! That, that one simple fact, makes me better than Jesus and makes me relieved to be a nonbeliever. An atheist, if you will. Or a happy heathen. Either way, I'm proud to be one and not a blind believer such as yourself.

And if a Christian holds any "intellectual" in contempt and hopes that they roast within eternal torment upon the infinity rotisserie then they are very, very, VERY deep in denial.

Again, this isn't about the sentencing of convicted criminals who commit crimes against nonconsenting people and/or property into such a place. This is about the use of such a place to condemn people who dare to use their own brains! That's their only "crime"! Isn't this what lead to the Dark Ages of the Inquisitions and, especially, "witch burning"?

Believers really have to challenge their own beliefs and ask themselves if they are that are morally conscionable to see how repellent they are with such outright cruelty.

And if a believer tells you to "go to hell" in any way, shape or form, call them out for such grotesque hostility.

I'll make this into a very tiny one-sixth pager someday. ;-)
