Suffer the little children...
 

I posted down in the relationship's forum about getting involved with a man I knew I would have serious issues with.

Well. the first has already raised its ugly head. He was raised a Pentecostal Christian and he believes unbaptized children go to hell - even itty bitty ones who are a day or two old. He says these children go to hell to punish theiir parents with their suffering.

HUH!?

How can anyone who subscribes to this belief be a genuine, kind person in the here and now?????

Thoughts, please?

If my theory is correct, the more uncomfortable you are, the better a relationship you will have, so ... ;)

On a more serious note:

If that kind of belief is a deal breaker for you, then follow your own insticts and ethics regarding relationships.

Ask him what he thinks about Catholic Limbo, although I understand that the last Pope shut down Limbo shortly before he died.

(If he holds that closely to his Pentecostal beliefs, incidentally, you ain't gonna get none without convertin' and marryin'.)

Your best option is in between "In the Flesh" and "Waiting for the Worms". ;)










Hint....Pink Floyd's The Wall.

Dammit Bruce, now I have to go listen to some Floyd.

You beter RUN !!!

The singer for the fascist trio on Is There Anybody Out There - The Wall Live 80-81 is so cool.

Are there any... paranoids in the audience tonight? Is there anyone that worries about things?
...Pathetic.
This is for all the WEAK people in the audience! Is there anyone here who's weak?
This is for you, it's called Run Like Hell.

Mari. hes a dick. dead babies all go to the same place we do. the ground.

Most religions make their followers feel chosen in some way. The more who goto hell, no matter how stupid the reason, the more the follower feels special / chosen / blessed.

I have no patience whatsoever with creeds that fill people up with such dangerous and damaging nonsense. Why dangerous and damaging? Because it causes distress to so many people when they most need comfort.

My Granddad went to the grave convinced he was going to hell. Not some Mormen idea of it being just like heaven but without the presence of God....no. Flesh burning, bone melting, demon infested, humiliating and devastating Hell.

Bastards.

Hell? Shooooooot, girl. I already been there! They don't send babies to hell. Lord, lord. I agree with Pink Floyd and zippyt: You better RUN.

Yikes...the Pentacostal nonsense aside, let's not corrupt the meaning of the Biblical quote.

In full, it would read:
In this case "suffer" means "allow"...it doesn't have anything to do with "suffering" in the modern sense.

You'd have to reach out to OT:
...or maybe go non-Biblical to...

...or...

...which probably found its way to...

We have a winner. :D

Come ONNNN, Bruce, that was too easy. I didn't even need the hint! I don't think you can find a bigger Floyd fan that wasnt alive when floyd was actually around.

But you're not normal. :lol:

'Not normal' as in 'not common place' or 'not run of the mill' but you probably already knew that Ibram.

and Bruce expected you to know that.



I'm just being protective I guess. I dunno why :smack:
