But please,
Just one Christian/Religionist here,
Please explain to me the doctrine of eternal torment.
I dont care what your belief is.
Catholic, Muslim, Protestant, Evangelical or otherwise..
How on Gods Earth can you justify an eternal torture for those not of your faith?
This is one thing that I really dont get or understand.
I wouldnt want even the bloody Yorkshire Ripper or Ian Brady to be burned alive eternally.
But they are lumped together with Aunty Ethel and Uncle Bob because they once had a bonk before they were married.
Or some poor sod found himself on his uppers (as happened many times today)
But because they dont believe as you do, they are going to burn!
All quick to criticise but no one here has given a valid answer to the question, have they. That would be a sure way of shutting him up - if that's what you all want to do.
No argument from me, douglas. Merely a sensible suggestion. Either give him an answer or stop complaining that he's repeating a question that has remained unanswered.
My idea of hell is being stuck with the same news from every station on issues which just send most people to sleep ie Downing street garden parties. I`m sure there were thousands of parties taking place.
Khandro, //Actually, if the truth were told, nailit doesn't give damn about eternal torment. //
I think you're wrong. I think, like me, nailit really does give a damn about such a disgusting philosophy being instilled into vulnerable minds. Your final comment there does you no favours.

Indeed.
But if the people holding and attending the parties are part of the government that makes rules rendering such parties illegal, and then holds one ten minutes later - that makes it News.
naomi ; //such a disgusting philosophy being instilled into vulnerable minds. //
Which minds & by whom? I think you are a few centuries out of whack;
unless you are thinking of the goings-on in your local mosque.
In fact I have never heard anyone talk about hell & damnation in a Christian church in my entire life.
Khandro - // In fact I have never heard anyone talk about hell & damnation in a Christian church in my entire life. //
Neither have I, but I have not visited every single Christian church in the world, so i can only speak for the three in which I have ever heard services.
How about you Khandro? Happy to admit that maybe you are not an authority on what is preached elsewhere?
Khandro - // So we are talking about a problem that may or may not (probably not) be happening, some where no one knows about, sheeesh!
A normal morning on AB! //
Pretending naivety is somewhat beneath you, so I'd skip that as an avoidance strategy if I were you.
