"but thought the teachings attributed to Christ were excellent" They are, and that they are not is hard to argue. Few try, but many seem to ridicule or belittle. "there's a lot you can read about these issues" True. And I am glad you threw your 2 cents in. Interesting perspectives. Thanks for posting them.

Atheists and other liberal “christians” appear in no position to scorn those who believe the 6 million Jews are all suffering the same fate as Hitler and other criminals. It seems to be your opinion, for example, that all people, the Jews and Hitler included, ultimately terminate with physical death such that evil done here in secret and at the severe expense of others receives no objective treatment in response. Moreover, according to your little “article,” liberal christians do not even believe in Hell. They instead nurse the blue-skied California fantasy that everyone goes to heaven if it exists. This, of course, means Hitler and the Jews all go to heaven, despite that Hitler has committed gross sins against those Jews. You overlook your own intellectual weakness because of your rank hostility against the truth. This hostility also causes you to, as is always the case with leftists, misrepresent Christian belief regarding Hitler, the Jews and the afterlife. The fact is, quite a few heathens have for ages scorned believers because believers generally refuse to claim that even Hitler is burning in Hell, this, because they leave open the possibility that before his death he was given grace to repent of his sins. Indeed, this was one of the issues Srex brought up in the post to which you responded, but you failed to take note of the fact, choosing instead to mischaracterize it so that you might ridicule it. Religioustolerance.org is dishonorable in the same way. It is an unsuitable source of information on general Christian belief. In your article there are no fewer than four critical errors that exist apparently to slam the belief rather than accurately represent it. It is unsophisticated and juvenile. So few people are willing to be open and honest regardless of the circumstances. It is innate to them to lie as you have done. This is why so many people are already condemned to hell. God is not harming anyone. He merely leaves them in their ignorance, since while admitting they know nothing, the claim to know so much.
