@Krumple,
Quote:I think it is funny when a certain church tries to use the bible to defend themselves as if no other churches are doing the same thing.
Yeah you're right and their evil for doing so, no one should use the bible for their own purposes except for God's sake.
Quote:For me it is quite simple. If there is a god, and that god is willing to allow or let a being he created to suffer for eternity over a finite decision, then that god is not even worthy of being called a god. I would not want anything to do with that god if that is the case. It does not matter to me if you try to spin it that god doesn't send people to hell, they send themselves. That is a nonsensical argument. It implies that god had no hand in the creation of hell and that he can't do anything to prevent you from ending up there. But that contradicts everything they try to claim that god is.
I see your point, but it doesn't matter what anyone thinks or says, God can do what he wants. For example: If God made two different planets such as the earth we have now and another planet say Mars. Say both have inhabitants. And the inhabitants on Earth can only reproduce with a man and woman but on Mars there are only women thus reproduction must be done between two women. God can find it evil on Earth for the same sex to reproduce but not on Mars. This is not beyond possibility, because God can do what he wants.
Whether if you believe, trust God, have faith, are evil, good, angel or demon, God will do what he wants regardless of our existence. And you're right it is nonsensical for people to say God doesn't send people to hell, he created hell for people to go there. And he creates the good and evil so that the evil can go to hell, heck that's there reason for existence. Some people may find this hard to swallow but given that God can do what he wants, it's the truth. Furthermore, our idea of God today is stupefied, how can the prevailing ideology of God be that he only created good not evil? Plain stupid. But as I said God does what he wants.
