This notion that Christians' belief in hell results in contempt for non-Christians is not something this old geezer thought up by himself, this is something he picked up from some of his young flunkies, the little snowflakes who have the Thought Police mentality and are certain that "bigots" (defined as "people we don't like") are out to get them. When you get down to it, liberalism is really just politicized paranoia. Someone who doesn't think like them must be a horrible person, and if that person believes in hell, he must be planning to treat unbelievers badly - and never mind that his actions have never shown him to be a bigot.

This notion that non-Christians' lack of belief in hell results in contempt for Christians is not something this old geezer thought up by himself, this is something he picked up from some of his young flunkies, the little flowsnakes who have the Thought Police mentality and are certain that "bigots" (defined as "people we don't like") are out to get them. When you get down to it, religious fundamentalism is really just systemized paranoia. Someone who doesn't think like them must be a horrible person, and if that person doesn't believe in hell, he must be planning to treat believers badly - and never mind that his actions have never shown him to be a bigot.

And you think liberals are what ?
It is merely a revenge fantasy for Christians viewing non Christians. Christians, generally, have some contempt for non Christians. Not all mind you but in general they may not totally accept someone who is of another belief system or lifestyle.
Really? So to clarify, there's nothing questionable about believing that we're being fought over by invisible spirits in a war stretching back to the beginning of time, however calling someone who worships one of those spirits a bigot for praising its promise to eternally torture us for thought crimes is unreasonable?
The worst thing a non-believer can say to a believer is "You're crazy, stupid and wrong." Rude though that is, it still doesn't compare with "You're going to be tortured forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever, and what's more, you'll fucking well deserve it."
If this is your attempt at proving you don't have contempt for non-Christians, well, better to be silent and thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt, yes?
“Someone who doesn't think like them must be a horrible person, and if that person believes in hell, he must be planning to treat unbelievers badly - and never mind that his actions have never shown him to be a bigot”
I couldn’t imagine enjoying Heaven if ANYONE was in Hell, so i figured i wasn’t cut out to be a Christain.
Confused?
