[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Christian, I believe in hell. My pastor described hell not as the traditional fiery pit of torture and physical agony, but as a place of absolute isolation of a human soul from love and peace and everything they love, all goodness and light, because of the willful rejection of God. I guess if my religion is wrong and I die and disappear into nothingness, ok. If people who willfully reject God are wrong, the afterlife for them will be pretty bad, for eternity, as pp states above. [/quote]

Love this.

If I’m wrong, nothing will happen. 
If they’re wrong, they’ll have to suffer for eternity.

Crazy how people can’t recognize how damaged their minds have become. [/quote]

This is called “Pascal’s Wager”, and it is fallacious thinking because it assumes a binary choice is between your god and no god.

What if the Scientologists are the one’s who are right?  Or some religion you haven’t discovered?

At least we agree with your last point.[/quote]

We are in agreement. My sarcasm didn’t come through.

The original pp stated with such arrogance about the version of hell she believes in, like it’s supposed to convey some sort of humanity. 
Then basically admits that their religion confirms people to an eternity of “pretty bad” happenings if their religion is right. But if other people’s beliefs are right, nothing happens them.

Which actually conveys love and humanity? Which prefers a rather sadistic punishment?

I loved the irony. [/quote]

I don’t think a human soul disappearing into nothingness is good. An absolute extinction everyone who ever lived, is preferred? [/quote]

You say that like we get to choose.[/quote]

You say that like you are certain we don’t get to choose. [/quote]

No, I do not.  I am certain there is no evidence we get to choose.  Hopefully you understand the difference.[/quote]

I choose to spend eternity in paradise, with my Creator. So I just chose. You are wrong. [/quote]

So whatever we "choose" gets to happen?  Well, then I choose for [b]you [/b]to spend eternity riding backwards on a donkey through a beanfield  on a rainy day.

Hey this is fun![/quote]

Awww, you are getting closer, sort of. You don’t get to choose for other people. You don’t have dominion over your fellow human’s bodies or souls, or their fate. That is a fairly simple concept and it’s disturbing you don’t know that, and you feel you can choose for other people. [/quote]
