Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fishalt" data-source="post: 80511" data-attributes="member: 228">One has to question what kind of omniscient, all-loving and benign creator would create such an arrangement, however. How noble or virtuous is it to create an infinite game of seemingly randomized pain and suffering aimed at forcing your children to prove their love for you--whilst concomitantly providing no evidence of one's existence or indeed for the promise of heaven at all?If any parent in Ireland did anything analogous to this to their children, there would be national outcry. It would be front page news. This trial of existence does not strike me as the construct of a loving God, but rather the demented game of a narcissistic psychopath.And it does seem the deck is unfairly stacked, doesn't it? Right now, there is a seven-year-old child running barefoot in the Amazon jungle, a member of an uncontracted tribe, who is presumably destined to hell purely as a consequence of them not getting the memo, because, like everybody else in their lineage stretching back as far as memory, there will never be an opportunity to experience the Gospels or the word of Christ. What chance do you think s/he has of entering the Kingdom of God? Surely less than your own--born into a life, time and culture whereby you were corralled into an education in Christian theology.</blockquote>
