I honestly don't remember what I was thinking when I wrote that sentence. It sounds like word salad when I re-read it now. Maybe I had meant to write "Eternal damnation seems to be part of Christian justice"? SM and some Christians would say that justice involves a creator sentencing some of his creations to eternal suffering for behaving in exactly the way he knew they would behave when he created them. That doesn't sound like justice to me, and it doesn't sound like a good god. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "A Civil Religious Debate" group.
