Why don't you believe in Hell?

[Marquis de Carabas]

It's not pretend and you will be screaming for God when you are trusted through the Gates of Hell and start to boil in the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire is full of pain and horror.

So we are at an impasse, my friend. I think you're spouting horsehockey. You think I'm talking nonsense. Now, how could anyone possibly tell the difference. You can assert that your hell is not pretend. But the same assertion about Waters's whining is open to me. Why should anyone believe you over me? Why should anyone do anything but tell us we're both full of it and to take a flying leap?

 

[Lord Emsworth]

You are forgetting about the father of lies.

You too my son.

Actually he was highly respected in the atheism community because he was a medical scientist and rational atheist.

We have athiest communities?

 

[monkboon]

Is that all there is to Hell? Just the lake of fire? I think when I get to hell the boredom will overcome me before the fire does.

Oh, but there's fire fishing, fire skiing, fire swimming, picnics by the fire, lots to do.

Well, technically it's a vast global conspiracy.

Because you just made it up during this debate! What I believe has it's roots 2,000 years ago! NOT 2 minutes ago!

what you believe was at one point made up 2 minutes ago

Yippee. You believe older, crustier bullsh. You know, Puss would like to put forth the worship of Bast at this point. Much older than 2000 years, so obviously, Bast is better, right?

maybe the page break caused you to miss my request for references...

I find no Rawlings in Who's Who in Hell. I find it hard to believe someone so respected in the atheist community could have been left out. Five of my personal friends are in that book, and they're hardly well known.

What must one do to get in Who's Who in Hell?

are you still looking for proof?

It varies. Four of the five founded The North Texas Church of Freethought. The other is a member, but was included apparently for an article he wrote about Dr. Laura in Secular Nation. Others are in it simply because they are/were open about their natural world-view and were famous for some reason, maybe or maybe not associated with that world view. Robert Ingersoll, of course because of his rationality, but Christopher Reeve because he was an outspoken actor.

Lots of opportunities

Puss: With any luck, he's reading up on Bast. It's a small religion we've got going these days. We need fresh meat.

is Randi in it? How about Shermer

 

[Operaider]

Off topic

1 in C, I was wondering where you lived. Not the address, just the state. I wanted to attend one of your church meetings if it's in the area. I can observe you and you can save me

 

[monkboon]

Both are in it, of course. I found the book in the first place when I was doing research on Randi for a presentation about Randi, JREF and TAM that I was making for the NTCOF a couple weeks ago.

 

[Operaider]

man, do I want in that book

Maybe I could write a book
