    Because it seems somewhat fairer that way--? Don't call my faith into question.

    3rd person as in, assuming a perspective which is external to Christianity.

    I'd prefer not to abandon our 3rd person perspective on this issue, but thankyou =)

    God may punish you.

    Aye, I'd agree. I wonder what she's doing to the carbon footprint.

    Can you handle the truth?

    I disagree. It is possible to know one truth, and for it to be the same as another truth, but that they are both known in a different sense. This admits of absolutes, but also of sense - knowing one sense doesn't entail that said absolute is known in another. A different sense would be something...

    Quick query

    Sup. I see quite a number of people asserting that Christ died on the cross to absolve humanity of their sins; that Christ was killed by God. If we assume even a fairly moderate 3rd person perspective towards Christianity, this seems like something of a paltry evasion, as regards...

    God may punish you.

    Faith is based upon truth? A contradictio in adjecto. If Christianity is unequivocably true, without any hint of dubiety, then there would be no need for 'faith'! Faith is precisely that--trusting oneself that a particular state of affairs holds; will continue to hold.

    Is God cruel?

    If God is omnibeneficient then he is not cruel. If God is cruel then he is not omnibeneficient. God's being omnibeneficient/cruel are mutually exclusive propositions--you can't have both.

    You can't go to heaven if you don't believe this!!!

    At times I find it hard to swallow back a grimace of contempt. 'Do not place your faith in God, else you may be sent to the Fire'.
