I think you need to fix you link.
Please.Neither work for me.
Life's Gonna Suck When You Grow Up... But Is It That Great Now?... Also I'm Skylark2 now.Then a lot of misotheists will be profoundly annoyed.
Kill all math nerdsBy Hell, I assume we mean the eternal-fire-and-brimstone type?

Maybe all the bad people in Heaven get their own walled of section with larva?
Life's Gonna Suck When You Grow Up... But Is It That Great Now?... Also I'm Skylark2 now.Cool. Religious reform needs to come from within. Rob Bell looks like a step in the right direction.

Isn't God supposed to be all-loving anyway?
Da Rules excuse all the inaccuracy in the world. Listen to them, not me.@Yej I think even God has His limits.
There's no justice in the world and there never was~He's not supposed to.
@Elfive Says who?
There's no justice in the world and there never was~I never thought I'd find an evangelist I think was on the right track.
Isn't God supposed to be beyond any limit?
@Elfive Do we really have anyway of knowing that? Also, this is not the thread for a discussion on God's nature.
Also, the doctrine of universalism/annihilationism has been around for a while, but has yet to fall into the mainstream view of Christian beliefs.
I subscribe to the latter view myself.

There's no justice in the world and there never was~Well, that's What The Good Book Says. (apparently.)
Da Rules excuse all the inaccuracy in the world. Listen to them, not me.Good. Then I don't have to live thousands of years being covered in exploding burning cold pus filled boils. Or just burning ones. Or being burned. Or being burned along with the burning exploding pus filled boils. ...while being isolated.
Buddhism is a happy religion.

If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahI think whether or not hell exists has a lot to do with God's nature.
@Elfive What type of Hell? The popular idea of Hell has very little to do with what is mentioned in Scripture.
There's no justice in the world and there never was~The concept of hell is actually what turned me off Christianity.
Hearing my very nice grandparents telling me Ghandi and others like him are in Hell was very disheartening.
@Thorn And you believed them?
There's no justice in the world and there never was~There's many types of Christianity and many types of Christian Hell. Just as there are many types of Buddhism and Buddhist Hell. Some don't even have Hell...

Considering the popularity of Word of Dante, does that mean that God is not a particularly clear writer?

Hey tropers, I just read a story from Time, and its implications are pretty interesting.
What do you guys think?
