[QUOTE="Tokono, post: 72283830, member: 406486"] That was a very enlightening read, and I agree with you. Following the bible as a framework for leading a "good" life is indeed something I support. This is morally favorable by most universal standards. But one point I wanted to bring up from your statements was - "Jesus said that it is better to fall on God and be broken for sin, than to have God fall on them and crush them into nothing." This doesn't really make him any different than a tyrant. He is essentially stating follow me or be cast into the lake of fire, and I don't agree with this. A person who is of good moral standing, under a different faith or even an atheist should not have to suffer for all eternity because they chose to a different path. I choose not to believe God punishes humans who are imperfect by nature to an eternity of pain. Sure, there are consequences for every action but there has to be a chance for redemption especially once the full weight of the consequences are realized. Now if you take away eternity factor, I wouldn't have any qualms with it. [/QUOTE]
