“Serial Killer?“
Victims
- There are 1.2 billion people in India, give or take a few dozen
- Most of those people are Hindus & therefore polytheists
- The majority of Hindus are decent law-abiding citizens – husbands who love their wives, mothers who love their children
- But no matter how good they are, God has doomed them to be tortured in hell for eternity
Killers
- God created the cultural isolation of the Hindus, engineered their loyalty to India’s official religion, endowed them with the pious motivation to teach their (unfortunately, non-Christian) values to their kids – and then he designed the penalty for this ‘wrongful’ behavior?
- And yet, the run-of-the-mill serial killer who rapes & tortures children need only come to Jesus on death row, enjoy a final meal of fried chicken – and then he spends eternity in heaven?
What does this vision of life have to do with moral accountability?

And therein lies the reason for my leaving fundamentalist Christianity. I was eight, and already baptized, but said to my dad, “If I had been born in India, then, and am a Hindu instead of a Christian, do I go to Hell?” He released me from any obligation I did not wish to fulfill within the little church my mom favored. Made things lots easier.

I admire you for having the courage to think for yourself at such an early age. I was cowed by Authority for way too many of my early years. 🙂

Won’t lose me, that’s for certain. I’m so fed up with people who reject you over your not viewing something the way they do. That is stupid, not smart.

My only goal is to encourage people to think clearly. Some of them want to shoot the messenger. 🙂
