Good question. I guess we'll have to ask Christ in the 1000 years
Wow, first time you admitted you don't have the answer. Good call.

There is no eternal burning place of fiery torment owned by a demon. Hell, which in it's Hebrew words "Sheol" and "Hades" means "Resting Place"
Not to be confused with the Fiery Pit, which literally means eternal destruction, which the Bible foretells Satan will be "thrown into" (He'll undergo a process where his energy will become inert and inactive, basically)
There you go.
Another myth propagated by the Catholic Church, debunked in seconds. I'm happy to answer anything else.
Really the evidence is all around us. Its up to each individual to either accept or reject it. From the infinite complexity of all matter to the unique ability of humans to to learn and speak multiple languages. The question is, are we willing to to respect the views of others when they disagree with our?

Interesting blind guess about what exists...or does not exist.
Thank you for sharing it.

Show me how these things point to a supernatural creator.

I will respect other people, but I feel no compulsion to respect bad ideas. You have yet to make a coherent argument for your god hypothesis.
God Almighty came down from heaven to save us from his own wrath by allowing himself to be tortured to death. This strategy worked. Except he didn't actually die and most people weren't saved.
This is the Doctrine of the Propitiatory Sacrifice. With the aid of a frontal lobotomy, it would make sense to me.
Will do. I'm not postponing any appointments, though.

@Tuna,
Thanks for my laugh for today - from the thread I least expect it from.
He died, but he really didn't. What kind of sacrifice is that? "For god so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son....."
He did? When? Where? How?

People saw him three days later. He was fine. I don't know what all the fuss was about.
There are times my wife doesn't see me for much longer periods. Three days is nut'n.

My wife hasn't seen in me in over a decade. Of course, I think that it has something to do with our divorce being final around that time. I took the hint.
