Why don't you believe in Hell?

Regarding the "voices from Hell"...

I´ve been working underground for years, in caves and subterranean mines (active and inactive), and never heard any voices from there, and Ie must have been pretty closer from it than those people working in the subway... Not as close, of course, as the guys who work at the sewage.

Neither I know anyone who has heard such voices, also. My maximum depth is 800 meters or so, and I know people who worked close to 2000m. Hellish heat, but no hellish voices.
 
I still don't get it. Hell is inside the earth? How does a ball of liquid floating in other liquid constitute a lake of fire? How is God supposed to hurl sinners past the mohorovitic discontinuity anyway?
 
Just got back and saw this....

The truth is many ''atheists'' fear God and His Wrath. Look at the Internet Infidels, they made a whole website devoted to something they supposely believe doesn't exist! LOL!!!! How many websites have you seen that spend their time arguing against Santa Clause? LOL!!! This shows the atheist analogy of Santa Clause and God is FLAWED and false.

You really don't understand, do you?

The fact that there are no websites arguing against Santa Claus (there is no 'e' on the end, BTW) has nothing to do with whether it is a valid analogy

Argument by website is not a valid argument.

Why are you defending materialist fundamentalist? Are you religious yourself?
 
from your website:
In recent years Asian immigration to North America has risen dramatically, and with these people has come their Buddhist faith.

Bolding mine.

These people? All Asian people are Buddhist? Because they aren't. Some are Catholic, some are Muslim, some are Hindu. Once again, 1inC you cannot lump an entire group of people as (fill in the blank).

I had to pick up my kid from school. You do not get to "win" solely because I didn't respond within your timeframe.

How many people older than 16 still believe in Santa Claus?
 
Actually, this one seems reasonably informed
[http://jesus-is-lord.com/newage13.txt and 14.txt are parts one and two. I can't find three and four]. It has the expected 'We are right and they are wrong' angle, but the author is a little more self aware than 1inChrist. Random quotes:

I would like to demonstrate how there can be no harmony between the Buddhist doctrine and the Christian faith

And he does in fact mean that Christians cannot be Buddhists, not that Buddists cannot tolerate christians.

In one sense, the teachings of Christ _are_ intolerant. Jesus quite frankly said there is no way to the Father except through Himself ... I don't mind being ridiculed by nonbelievers because I believe that only in Christ can we find salvation. I do mind, however, when my
witness is linked with a provincial and condemning attitude.

most Westerners who dabble in
Eastern religions... are far more interested in what they can mystically experience than what they can theologically understand.

On trying to convert a Buddhist from birth:
Besides their initial mental abhorrence to the Christian concept of salvation through the death of Christ, they must also overcome their deep cultural belief that in order for something to be gained, it must be worked for diligently.

and he does draw a distinction between Animism and Buddhism.

It's an article aimed at giving a converter enough information about Buddhism to argue intelligently. It doesn't, at least in these two parts, give any reasons for believing in Christianity or not believing in Buddhism. It makes me wonder in 1inChrist has read it.
 
I did read the whole thing...there is still something that strikes my racist button. Perhaps is just the tone the author uses.

You are forgetting one important factor. I don't beleive in Santa Claus. However, if a large segment of the population was continually screaming at me that I BETTER believe in Santa, OR ELSE!!!.....or if they were trying to pass legislation that attempts to foster (or worse, force) belief in Santa on me and/or my children...or if people came to my door once a month or so to try to convince me to beleive in Santa...or if they did any of a zillion other things that believers in God do; darn straight I would start a website arguing the non-existance of Santa. This would not mean that I (or any other 'A-santa-ists') actually believe in Santa and fear him not giving me presents, it would only mean that I was sick of the antics of those who believe in the Jolly Old Elf.

Thus the analogy is NOT flawed, your interpretation of it is self serving.
 
I wonder what happens when 1inC hits 666 posts. Does he implode, or is it a kind of matter-antimatter thing where he annihilates himself?

Should be a sight to see. :D

I bet his 666th post will be something along the lines of "JESUS JESUS JESUS JESUS" to cast away Satan.
