A lot certainly depends on your definition of "punish" the traditional idea of "Hell" really isn't well supported in the Bible. - Ender Mar 11, 13:49
Yeah, okay, if you're actually hearing God speak to you you might want to get that checked out. - TWuG Mar 11, 13:35 15
- I firmly believe that all those little "thoughts" that pop into our heads daily are God speaking to our souls. I can't explain it all in specifics - oblique Mar 11, 13:39 5
  - I'm going to give you points on staying calm, rational and on-point in the face of my post. - TWuG Mar 11, 13:44
  - so how does that resound with "free will" ???? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 11, 13:42 3
    - I'm free to ignore or listen -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 13:43 2
      - so listen to god takes away your free will? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 11, 13:45 1
        
        Growing up, your parents told you lots of stuff, right? Did listening to them take away your free will? -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 13:50
- Dude, shut the fuck up. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 13:36 8
  - No. If you all can talk about how great and wonderful God is I can share my feelings on the farce I think it all is. -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 13:38 7
    - I am shocked, *shocked* I say, that a discussion of religion ended up this way. (nm) - musubi Mar 11, 13:39 5
      - Yeah, I'm in a pissy mood today. I should've walked away. -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 13:41 4
        
        No no no, take a shit on what people believe to make yourself feel better. It's fun to watch. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 13:42 3
        
        When I see what you believe used to punish those who don't believe and to protect those who do, but do bad, I get pissy. - TWuG Mar 11, 13:47

        Dude. He just said he should have walked away. - musubi Mar 11, 13:44
    - You're awesome. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 13:39
kilbo, it's time to move out of your parent's basement and grow up. You can do it on your own! -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 13:30 3
- But there's free cable and internet! -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 13:32 2
  - Comast is the debil. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 13:34 1
    - No argument there. I think we may have found our first universal religious truth. -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 13:36
