    Are some people destined for hell?

    Eh, what ? And when you say creator you mean Huitzilopochtli, Thor, Osiris, Yahweh or the Ju Ju up the mountain ? Eh, what ?

    Are some people destined for hell?

    There you go again, Jethro, claiming to know the thoughts and motivations of people you have never met. I am sorry to have to say it, but this is not an attractive quality. How would you feel if I would post that you know in your heart that Allah is the one true God and that Mohammed is the last...

    Are some people destined for hell?

    Hi Kenny, The universe I find myself in simply doesn't look like it was designed and it certainly doesn't look as if it were designed by someone who likes us. It is not surprising that people see agency, design and patterns in nature. This is what one would expect from pattern-seeking primates...

    Are some people destined for hell?

    So the people who wrote the latter parts of the Bible made sure that it confirmed the prophecies of the OT. If that strikes you as miraculous I'd say it sets the bar for miracles rather low. It reminds me of a surreal argument I once had with a Christian fellow; he argued that the "fact" (...

    Are some people destined for hell?

    Hi Jethro, I wish that were so, but I am afraid that this is one of the most important conversations of our time. Mr.B.

    Are some people destined for hell?

    It is the hallmark of the religious mind to mistake assumptions and wishes for reality. But hey, if it makes you feel better, have at it. Mr. B.

    Are some people destined for hell?

    Hi Kenny. No, I do not. I am convinced that man has made the Gods (all of them, including Yahweh) and not the other way around. The whole concept of a deity communicating with the special objects of his creation through a series of intermediaries I find unbelievable in the extreme. Even a...

    Lying

    Let's deal with syntax first. "How sinful is lying ?" suffices. "Much" is superfluous. This pedantry aside, I consider this question to be of the utmost importance. Lying is the surest and most reliable way to unhappiness. Mr. B.

    How do you know that ? Mr. Bubbles

    Are some people destined for hell?

    I don't think it takes a biblical scholar to point out the glaring error in your eschatology. B

    Are some people destined for hell?

    Actually, that's just your religion. There are plenty of religions that don't promise to torture the dead, or that don't hold people responsible for something that they had no hand in and that (presumably) happened long before they were born. Having said that, you did pithily sum up the core...

    Are some people destined for hell?

    When you say God, what you mean is a particular God named Yahweh. Let's take the hypothetical example of a boy named Amar, born and raised in the city of Fez in Morocco to observant Muslim parents. How much free will do you think he will need to muster to free himself of the delusions of his...

    Greetings from Mr. Bubbles

    Hi Jason, I am learning "proper" French. My wife is educated in Switzerland and fluent in French and she doesn't think much of the Louisiana patois, and since she's of that opinion, so am I : )

    Greetings from Mr. Bubbles

    Hi Jason, I am studying classic French. I know the patois spoken in the Bayou has its charms, but I'd love to be able to converse with my dear wife in French. She was educated in Switzerland and is fluent. Mr. B.

    Is everyone given a chance?

    No worries, I am prone to think likewise :)

    Is everyone given a chance?

    I am sorry, Deborah, but I do not understand what you are trying to communicate here. Also, as far as I am aware, there aren't any jungles in or around Mumbai, but perhaps you were using that word as a metaphor.

    Is everyone given a chance?

    Being tortured for eternity is surely a mainstream interpretation of what happens when one dies with the wrong theology. At least this is the case with two of the Abrahamic religions. The Koran is far more explicit about this than the Bible, but the idea that God will torture you forever, if you...

    Is everyone given a chance?

    " Is everyone given a chance?" That is a good question and an important one. If one is born where I live, in the deep South, chances are that your parents are Christian and that you will absorb the truth of the Gospel with your mother's milk, so to speak. It takes many years before we reach...
