Re: What's Important enough?

[Y]ou want me to show physical evidence when I agree that physical [evidence] doesn't exist. It is primarily a simple matter of pondering on our life and the world we live in.
If the relevant evidence in our lives and world is not physical, what are you pondering? I think the structure you "see" is the structure of your own consciousness writ large, and your tendency to interpret it religiously correlates with particular brain anatomical differences.
I can pursue a discussion of my "impression" with facts and reason. You must resort to metaphors with no objective correlative.
How can we have reasoned discourse about the invisible intangibles you embrace? You ponder the imponderable and form an impression. I don't. I ponder the apprehensible world, and I see that it will always explain itself to careful study, without recourse to no-see-ums.
What else is there to say?

Does God burn unrepentant sinners in an ever-burning
hell?

Why are you hesitant to state what you think the Bible
teaches about this.
What does Jesus say in the Bible about hell? Did he preach eternal torment at the hands of God?
