In reply to: Wade A. Tisthammer 's message, "Re: "Do You Honestly Expect Me to Believe..." the exchristian article" on 09/ 2/03 2:02pm

I wish I had more time to write, but I think this quote from that exchristian.net website sums it up pretty well (incidentally, I don't necessarily agree with everything on that site... particularly the way Jesus is made fun of... I see no reason to make fun of something just because I personally find it irrational).

"It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority punishment or reward. In a nutshell, God had to kill Himself to appease Himself so that He would not have to roast us, His beloved creations, in HELL forever. He loves us more than we can ever comprehend, but if we don't return His affections, He will make us regret it for eternity. Now that is AMAZING GRACE!"

That quote makes a lot of sense to me. God set it up the way it is, so if anyone is to blame for people in hell, it's him. It makes no sense that any intelligent being would limit himself in such a ridiculous way as to end up with over half his beloved creation forever separated from him.
