Christianity VS White Magic (Only for Spiritualist/WhiteMagicians & Christians)

SSH · Thu 05/10/2006 18:29:22

Of course, Nacho and Helm, if God is omniscient, he probably has a much better idea of justice than you or I do. If Hell is simply Annihilation, then athiests are getting no less than they expected. And so far there's been no complaints from anyone who has been annihilated

And its not as if God hasn't left a bunch of people round trying to convert everyone.

But, as I said, I believe God is merciful, so my opinion of the "official" criteria, even if correct, may be overridden. And I don't pretend to know the nature of heaven or hell.

You don't pretend to know the nature of heaven and hell, but you have opinions on other such inscrutible matters as absolute justice, omniescence and generally the divine? What's the difference?

These guys, for example.

And to think if they were born in Kentucky or something, they'd probably be christians.

Paradox... If the heaven is the place where everybody is forgiven, and Hell is the place where people go if they do not accept that... Then in heaven we can find all the criminals along the history, and in Hell those who do not like criminals?

Mmmmm... Curious... I' ve read a lot of theories saying that satanism is the correct decission... And not because they are a group of freaks who like gothic comics, but because they really think that Satan is the good guy, and that God was a hoax who conquered the minds of the people with a cool, but basically an empty, message.

I' ve never thought seriously in this till this thread... Thanks believers! I will worship Satan now. Satan is the person who allows the people to live in the way they want, but who will judge people after life and won' t allow sinners to enter in Its Kingdom, no Hitlers, no Torquemadas, no Jack the Ripper...

Good, we didn't want you in heaven anyway, Nacho

Is fifteen pages not enough?

It doesnt really seem like this argument is actually going anywhere, just raising new points and arguments.

Nacho · Thu 05/10/2006 21:44:55

Which is the force that moves people, after 15 pages of thread, to say that a thread is not interesting?

Is it God, or Satan?

LimpingFish · Thu 05/10/2006 21:48:17

Neither.

It's common sense.

The truth is there, in the scriptures, and god has made sure that the bible has survived through the years and reached greater translation and distribution than any other book.

No... The cheap priests did that.. And the crusaders who killed extremely many people, directed by the bible!

Like i stated above, a Christian doesn't participate in physical warfare. So any wars fought in the name of religion (including the crusades) were not approved by God or the Bible.

That's just rubbish. Have you READ the Old Testament?

Helm · Wed 11/10/2006 10:56:25

Remember, God changed his mind on Testament ver 2.0!

God doesn't make mistakes!

Nacho · Wed 11/10/2006 12:01:34

You are all wrong. The bible is a big Roschard test.

I have a question: why did god change his methodology?

You always sound so miserably unhappy when you debate theology, Telemachus.

Helm · Thu 12/10/2006 12:35:40

Ad hominem! Diverting from argument! bzzt bzzt!

I'm not unhappy, I'd say I'm pretty ok, it's just that God owes me money. YOU OWE ME MONEEEEY
