No kids yet. I do keep trying to get pregnant though, so we'll just have to see what happens.

Not trying to pigeon-hole you. Just curious about your perspective.

From my perspective, believing in a God that would bane people to Hell is just crazy.

You have to believe that good equals evil for that to make sense. And I don't believe that.

Thanks. I do think it's reasonable to discuss the merits of holding certain beliefs, regardless of what they are.

I'm all for spirituality, peacefulness, ethical behavior, etc. I just don't see organized religion as necessarily moving people towards that brand of harmonious living.

Too often, a belief in Hell makes Christians want to send anyone they don't like there. Know what I mean?

No labels. Just trying to figure out what your real beliefs are. Since you won't tell me I've just been guessing.
