I didn't realize that there is no hell in Judaism, fascinating considering the role it plays in Christianity.Just Vegashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09851077598314983920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038715.post-55918474182518908442009-01-08T13:39:00.000-05:002009-01-08T13:39:00.000-05:00Newsflash:God, Devil not necessary for moral groun...Newsflash:<BR/><BR/>God, Devil not necessary for moral grounding.<BR/><BR/>Film at 11Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038715.post-86970573134168545882009-01-07T14:08:00.000-05:002009-01-07T14:08:00.000-05:00Devil?

(like child molesters, cold-hearted killers, Hitler, Saddam and his sons, etc, etc history is littered with BAD folks, irredeemable in my opinion) How can a good God not punish the truly bad(not just sinners, that covers everyone who didn't die in infancy), that wouldn't be just. Mother Teresa and Josef Mengele - come on in to heaven?! I pray not.<BR/><BR/>I think it is OK to let kids know that REALLY bad people get punished when they die. Why not? Not to scare them, but to give them a sense of right and wrong and that God does judge our actions here on earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038715.post-64034987736671071902009-01-07T12:20:00.000-05:002009-01-07T12:20:00.000-05:00I was raised in a home with lots of fear of the De...I was raised in a home with lots of fear of the Devil. note how I still capitalize the name. You are right. It is a terrible terrible waste of religious teaching to have your kids focused on evil and what it will do to you if you are not a good Christian. Any doubts about the church? That was the Devil. Any normal human impulses like horniness or jealousy or anger? I remember doing good things not because I wanted to go to heaven but only because I wanted to avoid Hell. Not the best foundation for my religious life which I have long since abandoned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
