re: #70 Anymouse

Pretty much we are coming at it from different directions.

There is one difference however.

If I were presented with incontrovertible evidence that there was a god or gods, I would change my position. My position is not based on faith.

Jeffery Dahlmer allegedly had a deathbed conversion to Jesus and “confessed his sins” about his crimes before he was executed. For most of the versions of Christianity I am familiar with, that’s his “Get out of jail free” card (presuming he was sincere).

On the other hand, it doesn’t matter how good, kind, charitable, civic-minded, you name it an atheist is (or a person of any other religion that had the misfortune to be born at any time in history in an area that did not have Christians to proselytise). It goes from the Catholic version of hell simply being not in the presence of God to the evangelical version of Lucifer and burning lakes of sulphur.

One point, Jeffrey Dahmer wasn’t executed, he was beaten to death in prison.
