Thanks for the reply. I, personally, would rather have a God that would stop that sort of thing.

So would I. Your version of God doesn't seem to be able to if he wanted to.

What you believe is irrelevant. I spelled gawd that way because I don't believe such an entity exists.

With such a stance, how could anything be caused by this gawd of yours.

What I was taught by Jehovah Witnesses makes A LOT of sense.....

Those people who never had a chance to accept whether they would follow Jesus and Jehovah would actually be given a chance too,in the 1000 year period after this system of things are destroyed.

According to Muslims,you burn in hell for 40 years,then you go to heaven.

Another thought,but early Christians never believed in a fire hell. Same with early Jews.
You know what they believed in?
That you simply cease to exist,being consciuos of nothing at ALL,you know,just like it was before you were born.

So on that point,Atheist are actually right.
Now,where Chrsitianinty comes in,is that if you do accept Jesus and Jehovah,then you have the hope of an earthly ressurection.
