No, you honestly have me mixed-up with someone else, or, likely someone else's accusation that I think that. I know Subteigh keeps saying I think that and I have spent a lot of time saying that is NOT my view and NOT the Catholic view - its an issue I have given a LOT of thought about. Nonetheless Subteigh thinks that this is what Christians believe so he keeps saying it, as if I never corrected him on it, and thoroughly. So I don't correct him every time, since I have so many times already to no avail.
I do believe that eternal damnation exists however I have made it perfectly clear that I believe that people who are in Hell CHOOSE TO BE THERE. Even when they see God himself they choose to reject Him, because they see him as all-love and all-good and they DO NOT WANT. That's not hateful. I mean, God woudl be hateful if they said "I hate Goodness and I do not want Goodness in my eternity" and God said, "No, you have to do what I want, not what you want." That would not be love, or justice. Love and Justice respect free will.
If you want to see what I actually believe,
This booklet (see link) says exactly what I believe as to how God sees those who reject him, to those who say there is no God - because they
WANT there to be no God, and I guess they believe if they assert what they want to be true enough, it will actually become true. Yes, some people will never accept God in this life, and God knows their hearts, and many have good reason for sure, and God knows. Well, they will see Him and see then that He is Goodness, and they can choose goodness then - even after having wasted their entire life battling the plain truth. Unless they, by then, HATE goodness - then they won't choose it.
You totally and completely have the wrong person. I have NEVER ever once said anything like that in my ENTIRE life, and I NEVER would. Even the worst people in history, the most disgusting child killer-torturer, is loved by God and He hopes for their eternal life in Heaven, and God would be ashamed of me and deeply grieved if I harbored such a thought in my mind even. So I do not think it, or say it - even concerning earth's worst. I am relieved when earth is relieved of a madman, but I do
not wish the madman eternal damnation.And I have nothing to do with the decision anyway.
I dunno, wouldn't you find "F-u, Sapphire" to be offensive? Or, the same to someone very dear to you, who is all love, and does not deserve it. Like a baby. (because you have that lovely one in your avatar). Its
not all relative. "F-U" is just offensive, no matter how you look at it, and its
extra-offensive to trash God. People's deeply held beliefs should not be trashed, and their God should not be trashed. That's just normal polite society. And if people talked like that in their workplace, among decent people, they would LOSE THEIR JOBS.
