Well I think differently. and based on my experiences with Christians, I'd have to say that many of them are smug little "I'm better than you are" junkies Of course that isn't all of them But you only need to watch and listen to any TV evangelist to see what some of them "think" of people who don't believe the same I recommend watching them with the sound off though, and playing Black Sabbath or Jethro Tull really loud very funny Or read some of the writing by "Christians" on SI I will point out again it isn't only Christians- it is most religious "clubs"- and political ones too, come to that- it is almost impossible to resist demonizing the opposition, calling them names, suggesting they are idiots, or worse, it is a very base and clearly wide spread human desire- this is denigration Gao. Perhaps you have been on SI too long to recognize it anymore. edit- I bolded the above because people are ALWAYS saying I'm antiChristian, which I'm not. I am actually anti groups- of all kinds, including groups I happen to somewhat agree with. I don't like group think- I prefer originality. I find groups extremely boring.

The Lake of Fire... >>I don't think that represents Christian thought. Most current religions have something nasty or denigrating to say on the subject of people who do not believe.>> Which is really shameful. For the right to freely believe and make choices is at the foundation of our creator's Love which supports the entire universe. FREEDOM. Freedom to think. Freedom to chose. Freedom to be. This is the incontrovertible Law of Love. We can chose to receive and focus on things, ideas, plans, jobs, interests, activities which do not connect to this higher spirit-self which is the Light/Love of our Father in Heaven. Or we can chose to receive and focus on things, ideas, plans, jobs, interests, activities which do connect to this higher spirit-self which is the Light/Love of our Father in Heaven. The first path is about conditionally giving up this energy, light and Love into the conditionalized, refracted, definined, labelled and limited Black Hole matrix which is the destructive animal of mankind's egoic nature. This leads to divisions, separations, frustrations and the illusions of limits, competition and fear which inevitably build up to states of murder and war. And this follows a perfect rational/logical argument. When divide Energy.... E / c = m ....more and more refracted, limited, impounded mass builds up. For we are trying to divide, claim and control the Energy. This is caused by more and more separations, divisions and limitations being placed, conditionalized on the ONE energy which is free. Left to ourselves, mankind has no way out of this Black Hole. It cannot end in anything other than total, complete destruction. But the second path is about accepting embracing the light which simply involves moving "c" to the other side of the equation.... E = mc This is the circle of Love. This is FREE. And there's NO LIMIT to the amount of energy, light and Love which we all can freely receive and share with others!! >>Sure, the Bible says that those who do not believe go to a lake of fire and burn. But what is the lake of fire? It is living without God. So, really, if you do not believe, when you die, you die. That's it. I can think of nothing worse.>> This "Lake of Fire" is nothing more and nothing less than The Black Hole. This is where all these insane, cut off spirits keep insanely trying to slice, dice, claim, blame and s shame each other further and further into this matrix of slavery and shame which denies the existence of freedom, light and Love. >>But, that is not a punishment. Or denigrating to say that when you die you die.>> Look around the world gao seng. The rotton fruits of this insane Black Hole Matrix are scattered everywhere. And individuals that have given up their unconditional energy, light and Love from God mankind's to support these religions have been unwitting dupes which continue propagating this claim, blame & shame madness. 119293!! However, when you die, you do not have to die. Christianity is about hope.
