Just a question for the Christians here: Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Which means (from every interpretation I've ever seen) that without a belief in Jesus, you're going to Hell. I wonder what happens to children who die before they are old enough to think for themselves, or to jungle natives who have never seen a Christian and never heard of Jesus. Are they damned?

Youll have to google that one, but innocents go to heaven. An example would be babies who are aborted. They were murdered and given no chance to be baptized.

Living evidence of Heaven and hell is there and with you always. I have plenty but its my own. You would dismiss it all being so cynical. If you have no faith, you may never find it. Faith comes first, then the evidence you seek will be found.

That doesn't seem logical. There has to be a reason to have faith. Otherwise you can have faith that your desk is God just the same.

Poor atheists are going to hell. Every one of them. And considering the outright disgusting manner of some of the atheists in this thread, it will be well deserved.

You just dont ask God for forgiveness and expect to get it. If you think you are going to live your whole life denying God and turning others away from Him with the intent of asking to be excused at the last minute, you are in for a rude awakening. God will not be fooled and you will join your co-horts (Kim Jong Il, Hilter, Pol Pot, Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy) in hell. :'(

I will pray for you, FdK.

it is also interesting that to you, an atheist is an atheist. Some how every atheist is no different than Kim Jong Il or Pol Pot. interesting.

You'd be fascinated to learn, though, that Hitler was a Christian. You should take him off your list. Ah, the things one can learn, when one reads more than one book in their lifetime.

how do you reconcile that with what Jesus said?

EDIT: Leaving work now will check thread tomorrow.

This almost translates to disillusionment comes first, then you can find reasons and live a life contradictory thought; doublethink.

For me, the only reason I don't believe is that we are known to be imperfect, yet we get forgiveness if we truly ask for it, but if we are imperfect, wouldn't we not ask for it? Then I divide my brain by 0. So it's its as if i just have to ignore all the contradiction in order to have faith. Can't do it.

I don't think the Bible says they go to heaven. I'm pretty sure they burn since they are "born with sin" even if "un-born"

you can't abort something that is born.

also, I'm pretty sure you can't murder something that has no conscience. I'll have to check on that, though.

Here something for you to think about:

You dont go to hell for "not believing" what is in some book or what your preacher tells you on Sunday.

You go to hell for committing crimes or being a evil person.

Fundamental difference.

Dont tell me that "God" would send someone "to hell" because they dont attend church or dont believe the bible down to the letter - it thats the case such religion would have gotten their priorities significantly WRONG.

That's the worst way possible to go about knowing anything. True things are still true even when you remove your bias. I'm automatically suspicious of any proposition that requires a bias before evidence can be presented.

I thought baby fetuses (and other unbaptized innocents) weren't allowed into heaven. They have to sit in purgatory.

I will pray for you, FdK.

According to him, Hitler can't be Christian as he violated their code. Of course that same logic means he (Felix) can't be Christian either as he too violated the code. Of course he ignores that and spent half of a thread randomly responding to people, while blatantly ignoring the proof that Hitler was not an atheist.

the Bible doesn't mention Purgatory. It was created later, by the RCC, as a stop-gap measure for the "unbaptized infant" problem.

Of course, that's because they assume there is innocence at birth. The Godless heathen protestant Calvin fixed this problem with the concept that we are all born godless, loathsome, wicked sinners.

This is the same reason that I do not trust people who refuse to eat pork.

Well obviously since Felix is Catholic then anything else isn't right.

Certain Jewish writings that were decided not to be included in the Bible mention such a place.

The Holy Simulacrum would not approve this thread.

Just learned a new word and had to use it
