[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you non-believers all think when you die, that is it? What a hopeless life.  If you lose a child, you believe it is just lights out and you'll never see him again?

Are you of the jewish faith?  Don't they believe that death is the end? [/quote]

Is the only way you have meaning and hope in your life is through a religion and a belief in the afterlife? That's sad.

Don't some theists believe that some who die go burn in hell for eternity? That's even worse. Do you remember before you were conceived? It wasn't that bad then was it? Same concept. And we live for this life, rather then pining for an afterlife. If anything, that gives even more meaning and hope to the here and now. [/quote]

Hmmm...except for the child rapists who don't get caught.  In their case, there is a lot less meaning and hope.[/quote]

Assuming you're talking about the Christian god.

Right. The only way uncaught criminals get justice is for god to handle it. Oh wait... unless those uncaught criminals get "saved" then they'd go to heaven. [b]Meanwhile a child starving in Africa goes to hell - right? [/b]

Looking to the Christian god for justice doesn't make much sense.[/quote]

[b]Wrong![/b]  So incredibly wrong!  So breathtakingly wrong! Absolutely not!

Lord have mercy, this will require yet another long branch of discussion, but I will carve out some time to explain later today...[/quote]

That would depend which version of Christianity. Some sects believe there is a magical cut off age where a child automatically goes to heaven if they die before it. Others believe unless a child is baptized they go to purgatory. Others believe they go to hell if not saved.

Regardless the point remains. A horrible evil person who gets "saved" goes to heaven. A good person who is not saved goes to hell. [/quote]

Salvation is offered to everyone, of all times, all places, all cultures, all degrees of sinfulness.  No one is "sent" to hell.  Hell is eternity apart from God.  God allows us to choose eternal separation from Him, as our free choice.  There are no accidental damnations.  [/quote]

Hm hm. So tell me - why do you choose the Islamic hell? By your logic you are choosing those hells by not believing in those gods.

No one chooses hell. I'm not choosing hell. You're assuming that it is "my religion/god or nothing". Everyone chooses what they think is correct, whether it agrees with you or not. [/quote]
