My father was a Baptist. When he wanted to marry my mother, a Catholic, his family tried to dissuade him at every corner with intolerant bull. So he converted. Of course, there's some who say that Papists are intolerant fascists, but that's not the point.

I'm just saying that when we have to judge a person based on a few paragraphs, we make mistakes. That's all.

I don't think anyone's hell-bound, though there are many soul that deserve Hell (like Timothy McVeigh for instance) I don't believe in Hell. In my opinion, Hell was a device used to make sure people felt like they would be judged and punished by an all-powerful force when the authorities at the time were not quite efficient at the task.

That's not to say I don't hold myself to moral guidelines, quite the opposite.

Mentioning the likes of Pat Robertson reminds me of how futile arguments like this can be, with each side screaming so loud that neither can hear anything.

I guess I was just hoping it wouldn't turn into a flame war, and Rahiim, a flame isn't determined by how horrifying a person can make a flame. Hell that'd be like the police saying that terrorist bombing was not murder because they could have used more explosives.

And you know, I'm sorry if I called you a troll and you aren't. I actually had only heard that A.I. was a troll from some others and the coment was intended for those that would say "Don't waste your time on them."

Love and tolerance? I don't know, seem neither side has much in the first place. I'm getting reluctant to show love and tolerance when none is reciprocated.
