[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there actually people who can choose whether or not to believe?  That seems to me to be like deciding that salt will taste sweet to me from now on.  I can respect that God is very real to some, but those who profess belief in case there really is such a thing a heaven strike me as profoundly dishonest.[/quote]

Good way of putting it.  And it de-emphasizes the loving, protective part of god and emphasizes his dictatorial, power hungry, need-to-be-worshipped-and-feared side[/quote]

Spend some time with the 10 commandments to see what's important to the Christian God. The first 4 of those 10 commandments are exactly that: dictatorial, power hungry, and need to be worshipped. Believe in Jesus, accept him as a savior, and a murderer will be accepted into Heaven. Reject him, and an innocent child will go to hell.[/quote]

Not exactly. First, Jesus didn't bring down the 10 commandments. Moses brought down the 10 commandments. Jesus' take on the 10 commandments is at Matthew 22:34-40, where basically he prioritizes them into "love God, love your neighbor."  Honestly, people, if you don't have the first clue about the facts, you really shouldn't be opining in public.

Second, it has been explained to you before that there's a broad diversity among Christians as to what happens to murderers and non-Christian children. Probably the vast majority of Christians believe that non-Christian infants will go to heaven.

But you knew that. You've read that before. It just doesn't fit into your hate narrative, so you ignore it.
