Christianity is not the only Theology that tells of a necro judgement and paradise/reward & perdition/punishment.
Of course, you are mostly hung up on that...but it isn't & hasn't been the only game.
The "saturation" takes all people (no matter where they are or have been) into consideration.
So what. My criticism remains, regardless of the religion. Most people today are, in my view, rather nominal christians (or Buddhists, or whatever). When I was a kid growing up, a favorite hymn in our methodist church was "Are Ye Able". Do you know the lyrics? "Are ye able said the master, to be crucified with me. Yea the sturdy dreamers answered, to death we'll follow thee..." Bull toddy. Not one in ten.

Criticize all you want...that does not change The Reality of the Way of the World.
You are not sticking with your question to me in #178.
The majority of the people in this world (and for a long time previously) do believe in afterlife judgment and Reward & Punishment....because that is what has been put forth as how it is...So, no, it is not obsessive/compulsive or insult/mocking if they note that.

And you are not sticking to the intent of the OP (which was me).
Let's put it this way -- pointing out shortcomings is not necessarily insulting or mocking.
Good...then you understand the epic and prolific prevalence of those concepts establishes its mojo.
It's just The Reality of the Way of the World.
I understand you must not get out much...
All your comments are emphatically western-based as if Christianity is the center of the world. Clearly it is not, yet you go on as if everyone is so impressed at epic levels about the Bible and/or Christianity. Not so! Not so to the tune of billions of people! Understand why this is and you begin to better understand my comments better than it seems you do. Try some objectivity for starters if you care to give better understanding a go.
Yes, unless it is/was your intent to insult. Mind you some people and situations require a good insult or two. Like a slap in the face to someone having a fit of hysteria.
However, judging on his spelling errors, I don't think he meant any harm, or real harm, or, at least, permanent physical injury......

Hmmm. I think that may be asking just a skosh too much of the aurum one.
