Its Tiresome...

[nailit]

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!

Khandro, I think he has a life but it would be good if he could get an answer. You’ve swerved the question and so has fiveleaves.

[mibn2cweus]

There appears to be no end to the list of that for which religious apologetics have to apologise for.

[vulcan42]

Hoi polloi meaning. The common people: the masses.

Worldwide, more than eight-in-ten people identify with a religious group. A comprehensive demographic study of more than 230 countries and territories conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life estimates that there are 5.8 billion religiously affiliated adults and children around the globe, representing 84% of the 2010 world population of 6.9 billion.

So we atheists are not the hoi polloi.

[Khandro]

vulcan; Thanks, but I don't need any lessons from you in the use of the English language.

What percentage of UK population attends church?
In 1980 5,201,300 people, representing 11.1% of the UK population, attended Church on a given Sunday, but by 2005 this number had reduced to 3,166,200, equating to 6.3% of the UK population. By 2015, the level of church attendance in the UK is predicted to have fallen to 3,081,500 people, or 5% of the population.

As an atheist in the UK, you are definitely within the hoi polloi.

[naomi24]

Does that mean you’re a regular church-goer, khandro?

[Khandro]

n. read my above post again.

[naomi24]

Khandro, Do you mean that it only applies to the UK? You're in Germany, don't go to church, but can still be counted as Christian because you don't live here? Is that right?

[1ozzy]

18x or?
Well done Nailit

[Khandro]

n. //Do you mean that it only applies to the UK?//

You haven't read it then? It says, 'attended Church on a given Sunday,'
not necessarily every Sunday'.

[naomi24]

And you? Baptisms, weddings and funerals?

[Spungle]

Naomi and Nailit either couldnt be bothered or chose not to read the 400 or so answers previously given to Nailit's repeated question. If all of the hundreds of answers didnt satisfy you, new ones won't either- so just believe whatever you want to- your choice. You will have all of eternity to consider it.

its all greek to me! ahahaha TTT got a laugh for weeks on that one!

I notice that someone is adding "the" to hoi polloi and of course 'hoi' is the - masc nom plural - so as so often on AB
when the divine X says - "I dont need Y" - the divine X usually does ! (need Y big)

[Peter Pedant]

chiurch goers are estimated by asking them in england
no roll calls

[naomi24]

Spungle, //You will have all of eternity to consider it. //

If you believe that, how will you feel if you're residing with the rest of the sycophants in heaven and your loved ones are burning in hell? Happy? That'll save you reading the question.

Look to yourself, Khandro.

[nailit]

//nailit; Get a life//
What would you suggest I do Khandro, to get a life?
Do I not have a life at present?
What do mean *exactly* Get a life???

Seriously, what do you mean, ''Get a life''?

[nailit]

//If all of the hundreds of answers didnt satisfy you, new ones won't either//

Thats right.
The majority might agree....
Doesnt make the majority right though.
Majority agreed with segregation in the USA until
Rosa Parks said No.
