Marriage as our parents knew it is outdated for me, personally, so I have a radically different type of marriage.

I'm intrigued, to say the least. Is it that your mother was a homemaker while you're a career woman, or something more dramatic?

Hi Allison,
Yes, that answers things, but I'm ashamed to admit I was thinking more along the lines of hot tubs and scuba gear.

So when you say "this person didn't do anything wrong" that is not true from a Christian perspective.
I think the important question here is, "Would a malevolent God behave any differently?"

If man is incapable of refraining from sin, doesn't this put sinning in the same category as breathing? Why should we be punished for something that's just as natural as breathing?
You make many specific claims about God, but as soon as an inconsistency or unfairness is pointed out you seek refuge in the great unfathomable mystery of God. The latter position makes much more sense than the former. For all you know God is a rationalist and religion is his test to see who goes to hell.

Whenever you post a message, next to the text box you'll see a link called UBB Code is On. If you click on this link it will display a page explaining how to use the UBB codes, including for quoting.
The simplest way to quote is just click on "Reply Quote", and it will bring up a text box with the message you're replying to already quoted. You can then edit out unnecessary portions.
