CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

So, the Lake Of Fire I am often threatened with in this forum doesn't actually exist?

Then your analogy is flawed. It ignores properties of god that that would nullify your analogy, thus they are are not comparable
Everyone sins. It has nothing do with sin. you sin. do you think your going to hell?
Its your phrasing of the argument that makes this question a rather odd gotcha question. wanting to be with good is not an equal statement to believing god exists without evidence.
--- from The Atheist Experience
you have a being according to your theology that can possibly prevent people from having to suffer eternally and instead of being god and just and caring and actually doing that is instead offering a kind of bribe
The bribe is you need to believe without evidence and you need to worship and adhere and follow my commands.
Did your god create hell?
Does your god create the rules of the universe according t o the criteria for which souls are judged?
Does anything happened that doesn't go according to your gods will?
If you answered yes, yes and no then your god is ultimately responsible for everything including the people who are sent to hell.

i guess you forgot to read the first part of the bible huh? Love and compassion are not words i would use to describe that. Love and Compassion are things that do not require a god.

It depends on what Christian you ask, what their mood is that day, and whether or not they're trying to not agree with something an atheist said.

I think the point of Split Rock's comment was whether or not the threat for US, as humans is real.
So, not only do you indicate that it exists but that it is indeed for non Christians. Other Christians disagree with you. So, like I said, depends on the Christian you ask, their mood, and the debate they're in.

So, this is another version of the "Christianity isn't a religion; it's a relationship with Jesus Christ" flawed argument.

I also never understood why. I think its very symbolic and i understand the symbolism, but... when your dealing with an all powerful all knowing all loving god, he could have chosen the sacrifice to be anything.

A loving god would personally intercede rather then expect people to believe he exists before they actually know he exists.
