text: why is it..? [read the whole question, i don't want half answers..]? ..that when i ask why a forgiving, loving god would cast people into hell for eternity christians give me human analogies, like would you forgive someone who did not ask for forgiveness? you're right, i probably wouldn't, but i am not god, who is supposedly above human emotions, and all forgiving. so why isn't this fountain of compassion able to forgive one last thing? why, according to you, is god willing to dish out such a harsh punishment? the simple answer is because its all a load of cobblers.  i like mainworry's answer of a single letter f.  whats that supposed to mean you dimwit?  i demand you return and modify that post with a braindead cut-and-paste of some ridiculous bible quote on a totally different subject.
