[QUOTE="JGG, post: 60090088, member: 142591"] I take comfort knowing that I do not have to deal with these people anymore. I don't see how believing that these people are going to hell would give me comfort, or would make me any better than they. What's the difference, really, in taking comfort that someone is going to hell, and celebrating it? But see, you have it wrong. They're showing their love and admiration for a God whose judgment and hate for these two sinners is perfect and absolute. You see it as treating your neighbour badly. They see it as worshipping a perfect God doing what a perfect God said He would do. How can you say they're wrong? And, they believe that these people belong in hell not because they randomly believe these people belong there, but because the Bible itself clearly says so. I'm sure I don't have to look up scripture to explain what we all already know is true. Whereas I see no scripture that says that celebrating the eternal sentence to hell is a road there. Agreed. But unrealistic. If a guy singing the The Gilligan's Island Theme runs up and kicks me in the groin, and then another guy singing The Gilligan's Island Theme runs up and kicks me in the groin, it's a pretty safe bet that every time I hear someone singing the Gilligan's Island Theme, I'm going to "cover up." I'm not the only one who thinks this way. People fought against a mosque near Ground Zero because all Muslims are terrorists. An unarmed kid in Florida was killed last month because all young black men are gangmembers. Texas legislators tried to expel a Jewish speaker of the house because Christians were wholesome, while Jews were greedy. I have had it explained to me that because I'm an atheist I am also an extreme communist and (somehow) also an extreme capitalist. Even God Himself finds it difficult to brook the likes of us... Besides, Jesus said that True Christians[SIZE="1"](tm)[/SIZE] would be hated. So, what's the problem? These grave dancers are clearly the ones doing God's work. So why fight it? Go with it. [/QUOTE]
