DAVEH: If I were to fill in the blank G.....I'd say God thinks like a
parent. In my opinion, God is quintessentially the
ultimate parent. For him to do something contrary to what a parent would
do....defies my perception of the Lord's love and mercy.

I think one of the biggest problems
(if that is the proper word to use) I have with Protestantism is their
view of hell and damnation. I've said it before, but for some of you
who are a bit new to TT, I'll give you a brief explanation. It seems
to me that Protestants are far too eager to toss those who don't agree
with their perspective of religion on the ash heap of hell, so to
speak. Or rather, they seem to pleasure in the thought that God will
forever punitively torture those who fail to walk that narrow path and
enter the strait gate. I just don't feel comfortable believing in a
God who relishes torture, Lance. I prefer to believe God is loving,
merciful and would that all his creation benefit from their existence.
