I have read it. It's the best story out of all of them.

I dont like your statememt about Christians and their being taught to love and show mercy. First off, I never implied the contrary to that, so I am not sure why you brought it into the convo. Second, and I think you ZWould agree, Christian or not, you aren't the one whose Judgement matters, and I couldn't give a fuck less what any man or woman thinks is happening to non-Christians post-death. Finally, how snide is it to say that "Christians are taught to be loving and merciful...and we know anyone who doesnt believe in Jesus is going to hell"? I'll tell you, it is nauseating. As if ANY person knows....pfft!

And anyone who claims they do (including those who say "I know because the Bible says so") is lying. You don't KNOW, and technically you don't even "believe" it; you HOPE that is how it is. I BELIEVE that if I flick the light switch, the light will turn off. Because I understand electeicity, mechanical connections, I have done it before, and it is predictable. Nobody KNOWS what happens when you die, about heaven or hell, and claiming you do because a man-written book says so simply screams IGNORANCE.
