What you think and believe is not as important when compared to what the Bible says
Humans don't call the shots; it's God's plan and we don't have a vote on it.
Occasional sin can blind us of God's perspective.

Ah, Buzzardhut, my sweet, my favorite false prophet, how ARE you tonight?

Fundyism in a nutshell. Also, god doesn't really care about us , only that we bown down and become zombies like jeebus. No thanks.
Why Buzzard is wrong (yet again):
1) Hell is actually physical seperation from God, that's the only "eternity".
2) The "lake of fire" or Gehenna, is consuming, not eternal
3) Hell is not some lake of fire akin to magma that is 10-40 miles below the continental crust. It's a Greek concept that made its way into the NT
4) Buzzardhut is a cunt.
5) See #4

Severe christianity of the cerebral cortex, I see. I suggest you take high, concentrated doses of education, rationality and logic to counter this affliction.

With other words, in your opinion
what we think and believe now is less important than words written in a collection of books.
Books that were written by multiple authors (about which we don´t know too much aside from the stuff they´ve written) 2000 years and more ago, assembled, edited and bound together by other people with the intention to to promote their own faith against other faiths, around 800-100 BC and 400-1200 AD, and several times translated and retranslated from one language into another by multiple translators.
And books, which, aside from some parts that describe events in the history of ancient Israel, have no evidence to have really happened or even contradict observed reality and/or everything we know about modern engineering (for example Noahs ark) and which, if written today, would be classified as fantasy stories.
And in which a divine entity is featured, which is called "almighty", although it can be stopped by simple iron chariots, "omnicient" although it doesn´t seem to be able to find its own creatures in the garden of Eden, is surprised by the actions of its creations and often reconsiders its on decisions and called "loving" although it often creates situations which are harmful to its creations, kills humans just to show off or even orders entire genocides.
Seems to be quite a lot of RR-ites getting flamed by Buzzardcunt recently for having their own thoughts.
Perhaps some of the less-brainwashed Fundies are seeing sense, for some reason or other...
So is Mandy_Bride banned? Her name isn't some Chistian porn name, and she doesn't believe in physical hell.
I wonder if the others believe they'll be allowed to come to hell to poke us with sticks?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
