Indeed, no it isn't.
I wonder if this passionate adherence to the burning in hell doctrine is actually driven by a need for it. What I mean is that if there is not a horrible eternal end place for the ungodly, does that somehow diminish the place of the righteous - a sort of - the more worse off you are, the better off I am mindset.
Look ...[text shortened]... term) causal and sometimes smug acceptance of torture beyond a holocaust scale quite nauseating.
Look at sonship's statement about those who mistreat him being in hell helps him forgive them; where would his forgiveness be if they were just not in existence anymore?

Your subsequent damage limitation posts were just convoluted attempts to airbrush what you'd actually and clearly said. 🙂

To "look at" the statement, the best way is to quote it.

I believe I wrote two different posts saying and clarifying against distortions of what I meant.

Originally posted by sonshipYou wrote a number of posts wriggling out of what you said. Which in essence was, that your knowledge that those who mistreat you will end up internal hell - (which was the topic we were discussing) helps you forgive them. You can try to wriggle now by using quotation marks around "my actual words" here today - but the essence of what you were saying at that time was exactly that, even if the "words" are different. Let me know if you decide to deny it and I'll look it up.

You said we should [b]"look at" it.
All you need to do is quote me so we can "look at" it.

Are you afraid to put the quotation up?
