Re: Our first EvC conversion?
the second step is trusting Bob.
But, why would you trust Bob when you know about His reputation?
I mean, would you trust a mass murderer who showed no pity to defenceless women and children?

He's gone, time to move on
Theoretically, your first impressions of Bob would not be tainted by second hand accounts of His eternal behavior
I don't have second hand accounts, I have the text that Bob told people to write down. it is in the same book that tells me how wonderful Bob is, so should I reject all of it or just the parts that doesn't make Bob look so good?
Seriously, you bring up a good point. Just WHO is this God, anyway?
Most likely, He was one of the Canaanite pantheon that the Israelites began to worship.
Do you really think that people will be judged at this 2nd Coming based on how they respond to the God described in the Bible and His 1st appearance?
Nope. Jesus is dead and gone, no second coming.
What of the ones who never heard the story? Will they be given more slack or will they be cruelly and massively deported to fiery torment?
Do you think it is impossible that your God would employ incidental players for His plan?

Re: Heil Ho, Heil Ho..its off to work we go
I don't get the logic Brian
Everyone is a sinner, so we should all be wiped out.
The question would be, why does God only wipe out only some sinners and not all of them?

Re: Heil Ho, Heil Ho..its off to work we go
But you said that God does the wiping out didnt you?
'Wiping out' is not something that I associate with a natural death.
We all die don't we?
Is that a physical or spiritual death
