If you are truly a Bible believing Christian who believes that anyone who does not accept Jesus Christ as their personal lord and savior, then all of the Jews murdered in the Holocaust are in hell. So, from that perspective, as bad as the Holocaust was for the Jews who perished from it, what they suffered was only a bare fraction of what they suffer for an eternity in hell in the afterlife.<BR/><BR/>I think that illustrates how absurd the Christian doctrine is.Tommykeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751182125861177379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702932480771167126.post-5533125683774190242008-06-12T00:28:00.000-07:002008-06-12T00:28:00.000-07:00Only drowning in our sea of darkness, our infancy ...Only drowning in our sea of darkness, our infancy of consciousness can we presume that either good or evil exist.<BR/>Surely, in truth, all things, at all stages of their evolution - as an oak is all oakness, from acorn to withered stump - are the one being - the one universal being - call it what we will - it is far beyond the realm of coarse words.<BR/>The greatest love of all - the gift of free will - which we abuse in our ignorance - is no doubt the root of both good and evil - as it is no doubt the root cause of that which separates creator from the created (us creatures included.)<BR/>The illusion of duality - in which we live our day to day lives.<BR/>I agree that conventional religions leave an awful lot of unanswered questions.<BR/>Your so called Atheism might well be the most profound decision of your life - clearing the way to insight.<BR/>We have to do whatever it is we have to do - in order to remain true to our individual quest.Ellumbrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04692032656434354445noreply@blogger.com
