WOTMQ: Hell No, Part II
First of all, yes... I broke form. This is technically not a "quickey". I added some stuff in the middle — the Doug from PineCreek stuff, because I really like the way he questions believers. So, my apologies.
Having watched part one, we've hopefully all determined that Hell is a really stupid idea — wicked, as Hitch might say. Given the fact that believers have an obvious out, since they're all very into philosophizing about such things, one wonders why they don't take it. Well... not this one. I think it's obvious why Christian leaders, teachers, and apologists don't get rid of Hell. Can you take a guess?
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for making these videos possible. Don't waste you’re shekels, enjoy the crap out of these things!!! I'll be right back with more. B

A grand slam! Thank you, Brian!
This. Is. Beautiful.
Heaven wouldn’t be half as cool of a place Christians believe it to be if they couldn’t exclude people.
Religion is for teaching people who to hate. I didn't get that exactly right. It's a line from Deconstructing Harry.
Hey, how long is a standard quickie, anyway? Has a standard been set?
Yes. For me, the actual content of the video (me shooting my mouth off) should be between 3.5-5 minutes for a quickey. And I spell it that way in homage to a great macro program I used back in the '80s and '90s called "Quickeys."
WLC is one sick puppy. Note Bill's IMMEDIATE acceptance of salvation and subsequent lowering of his own bar to minus infinity when it came to HIS OWN salvation. But removing the ECT from everyone else and he's got to count the cost to the infinite being. Maybe the cost to God would be a potential infinity, not an actual infinity. Heh, Bill?
Holy shit! How did I not think of that. What a great point. I'm so upset with myself now. D'oh!!!
Another thing... a LOVING GOD wouldn't create a hell. At worse? Just not allow people into heaven and make them not exist.
Yes, annihilation is the least he could do. But why not just create a happy place for people who don't want to hang with God? Is he really so petty and insecure. Well... according to the Bible, that's not a stretch at all, is it?
Heh. I drew that same conclusion before the video continued to that conclusion. Universalism? Hell (pun?), how are evangenitals gonna rake in gobs of mammon if they can't invoke fear, uncertainly, doubt in sheeple about their inevitable, inescapable, pending death?
It's all such an obvious con. I can't believe people can't (or won't) see it!
Those Doug questions were good! "I'm gonna have to think about it." Nice dodge William, you make it sound like you thinking about it will result in factual information when in actuality whatever you come up with won't be.
That's how he rolls!
