To all those Evangelicals who think they have been persecuted-

[KrazyinKS]

So as I understand it you believe anyone who does not believe that Jesus is the son of God will burn in a fiery Hell for eternity. Even if they come from a culture that has never even heard of such a thing. Really, so what do you call that?

1. They call it god's love. /nt

2. Mormons post death baptise

So their ancestors can be "saved". And I've always worried about not seeing my beloved pets in heaven.

5. The odd thing about Mormonism is

That heaven is actually made up like this:

Celestial Kingdom
Terrestrial Kingdom
Telestial Kingdom
Outer Darkness (removed from god, Mormon hell)

Everyone goes into one of those. Outer Darkness is reserved for Church Members that are male that hold the priesthood and have an absolute knowledge of Jesus but deny him.

Yes it’s very hard to go to hell in Mormonism. The Celestial kingdom is for members married in the temple, the other two are for average sinners and the lowest is for murders and such.

3. That's why the true believers see evangelization as their primary calling.

4. I given 'em the Hawkeye response*

"You and I read the Bible very differently." It will come as a surprise to no one that not once have I had an evangelical or fundamentalist ask, "Oh? How do you read the Bible?" They seem content to gabble their pet verses at me and thus endeth the conversation.

*Taken from the first Avengers movie as Hawkeye (Clint) and Black Widow (Nat) are starting the final battle with the alien invaders. Nat hollers over to Clint, "This is just like Budapest all over again." Clint responds simply, "You and I remember Budapest very differently." He doesn't say she's wrong or he's right, just that whatever happened in Budapest doesn't gibe with Clint's memory the way it apparently does for Nat.

7. I am not free to say what I think on this thread

But my Japanese ancestors never even heard of the ones who condemned them retroactively to hell.

8. If their fabled Antichrist comes to exist and starts persecuting them, I will definitely help out.
