I agree. How can people possibly claim God is great when he'll apparently shun a good person to hell just for not believing in him? Or even worse, when he'll send someone who is good and believes in him to hell just for being homosexual? It doesn't make sense.

Well that's what religious people seem to always preach, so that's all I have to go off of.
-
Fundamentalist Protestants are irrelevant, they preach lies and blasphemy.
-
That's the basis of the Christian faith and its subsections: If you're gay, even if you are a good person morally, then you're going to hell for just being gay. But then again, that's the Old Testament, which I don't believe in. I believe in the New Testament.
-
I never really understood that. How come the New Testament can be like "JK bros, the Old Testament doesn't count anymore"?

Thinking about it logically, the Old Testament was very strict and if you didn't follow every single rule by the book, you'd be going to hell. That turned a lot of people off, so the New Testament was created by a few people during Jesus's birth and after and made the rules less stringent. Think about it this way: In the Old Testament, God was pretty pissed off and was the strict Asian father of the family (I'm not saying he's Asian, but he had some pretty Draconian judgment and attitude, kind of like an Asian father.). In the New Testament, God calmed down and became much more merciful. A lot of people go to the leader that's nice and merciful, but don't go to the one that's angry and vengeful.

I mean, I get that God is different in the two books, but they can't both be right. You're either going to hell for X, Y, and Z, or you aren't. Either the Old Testament applies, or it doesn't. It would be nice if there was some sort of official statement from the church saying one way or the other.
-
I wouldn't know then. I'm Roman Catholic, but I'm not so active in my faith that I'd tell people they're going to hell for whatever reason.
-
Why are they the ones who are wrong, and not the others? There's certainly parts of the Bible that would indicate non-believers and homosexuals will go to hell.
