This is where the Christian doctrine started falling apart for me.


Ghandi and the Dali Llama lived/live in a time and place where they have access to the Bible, and can learn that "No man shall come unto the Father except by Me", Corinthians 11:27. Thus, they have no excuse, and chose not to be saved.

If they hadn't foolishly squandered their time on earth trying to nurture peaceful autonomy for their nations and helping people, they could have gotten into Heaven.

I must say, the thought of this guy getting into heaven makes me really rather go to hell.

I don't think you deserved to be banned, because we Christians are filth. Part of our salvation is knowing that we are filth, that we are dirty, filthy sinners.

Only when you realize that you are the foul toe jam on God's feet can you be wiped away, and made into the something more Holy...like...his earwax or something.

The guy's ban wasn't just for this thread, and remember that even satire can only go so far.

Indeed! I mean, I may not agree that Christians are monstrous filth, but it's clearly a perfectly reasonable contribution to a discussion.

Exactly. It's freedom of expression, whether this is a Father Knows Best state or not. 1-day bans for trolling notwithstanding.
