This all seems to be implied in Bzzt! Nope, wrong. I disagree. I agree with the previous poster that a loving God and a Hell of Eternal Suffering for His wayward creations, who He knew would end up there in the first place! No. I've been raised a Christian, and still consider myself to be one, but I'm a borderline agnostic. I have asked God, pleaded with Him to somehow help me to make sense of all of the conflicting things I am supposed to believe, but it STILL doesn't make sense! But, Jesus preached about Hell a lot! But, Hell *can't* exist! Or maybe God is vengeful... I don't know. The beliefs Christians are supposed to hold just don't fit together. And, I hate to say it, but God hasn't chosen to help me reconcile it all, for whatever reason. But, from my experience, NOT everyone has the chance to *really* know God. ..not to mention children who die at birth, but that's another story... Kurt Ludwick ------------
