[QUOTE=dor;33108]And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

What does that mean? How does that relate to my examples of biblical pronouncements of vengeance?

I don't understand. What is my freudian slip?
Is that not the cornerstone of traditional christian faith? My understanding is that's it in a nutshell: "Accept me as your personal savior, or suffer in agony for all eternity." Did Jesus not say that? Cuz that's what the proselytizers tell me I have to do, and what the consequences are for failing to comply. I added the 'stinky' because brimstone is supposed to smell really really bad. Sorry if that was snarky. But I think it's an accurate description of "hell". Hell for me would certainly involve stinkiness.
