Sitting in bed the other day I reflected on how many Christians believe that if you do not somehow supernaturally fall at the feet of Christ in this life.... fiery hell awaits you.
Of course I personally have had discussions with Christ many times in my life, got baptised in high school and what have you. I have asked to be forgiven for my inherent evil nature thanks to my actions and genetics.....
Much of this can be attributed to being brought up in a Christian society and family.
Much of it can be attributed to my own need to find security and safety from a diety that views me as a piece of trash due to my sins.
So be it....
Than I thought back to my trip to the Museum of Tolerance in LA.
I remember being shown how the Nazis threw babies out the windows..
I remember seeing how they threw Jews in the hot ovens to burn...
I remember seeing the gas chambers and the naked women and children pushed inside....
I am sure many here are familiar with this with movies like "Schindlers List" and the like.
Then the old Fundamentalist personality I used to adhere to peaked out of hiding and whispered to me the fact that these Jews that were burned once in an oven....
Would be burned twice in the Hellfires of God's Wrath!
"I quickly told my long repressed Fundamentalist urges to pipe down but the stark sick reality of all the sermons I had heard came flooding back to my conscience."
"The Jews killed Christ!!!!"
"The Jews are surrounded by enemies because they reject Christ!!!"
"The Jews are eternally lost and the Holocaust proves God's displeasure!!!"
Etc... etc....
So the gut wrenching fact remains that many.... many present even in these forums believe.... wholeheartedly.... that the Jew that died in the Oven without Christ....
Will die in the oven of the Lake of Fire in the end of Days.
That was when I realized why I was not an Evangelical Christian anymore......
