http://www.bagofnothing.com/2008/12/evangelistic-index/ Because that's all I have to offer Sat, 20 Mar 2010 21:28:17 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 http://www.bagofnothing.com/2008/12/evangelistic-index/comment-page-1/#comment-125407 dan Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:02:15 +0000 http://www.bagofnothing.com/?p=18807#comment-125407 I want to hope the author of this article misinterpreted the Southern Baptist Church of Alabama project, but I’m guessing the story is accurate. Catholic theologians also attempted in the past to put an estimate on the numbers of people destined for an eternity of burning in hell. This is one of the strengths of any Christian denomination: join us or suffer perpetual, unendurable physical torment. It is also one of its greatest weaknesses. That an all-knowing and all-powerful Creator would deliberately design an Earth, taking billions of years to evolve, so that, as an end result, he would see a majority its beings punished for all eternity. For me it completely defies logic. It would be fascinating to see how they developed their Algorithm of Damnation.
