For example, Reset.

You guys keep forgetting about that little voice in your head that tells you I am Right.

That's the holy spirit. Don't ever forget about the Spirit.

Does it matter if they’re “real”, if the end-result (i.e., the teaching of morals and the difference between good and evil, and et cetera) was a success? I myself have a rather complicated belief system (with a bit of lore from so many different sources), which is completely and entirely independent of my loyalty to Her Majesty The Queen of Canada, and Her Majesty’s heirs and successors.
My respect for the monarchy is not one of Christian faith, but one of a deep and profound respect for the constitutional relationship between The Sovereign and the Canadian people, and a sincere appreciation for the fantastic work done on a day-to-day basis by The Royal Family of Canada to better the world around them. It has nothing to do with inherited titles, and everything to do with the best possible system to provide peace, order and good government for Canadians.
Is it so difficult to believe that there are those who think that constitutional monarchy is the best system of representative-democratic government?

Let the debate begin, but not in the marketplace, thankyou.

Bringing back the old gods is nothing new. What do you think the occult and new age is all about? The only reason why anyone would even suggest bringing back the old gods is because truly they revel thumbing their nose at the real God. It's an attitude of rebellion and pride.

You still have not answered my question. In the religion you profess, what does it teach about a child, say born to Hindu parents, and who dies without becoming a "Christian." Does that child go to "heaven"? Yes or no?

What type of loving God is that? is that unless you can understand at least the basic characteristics of God, you won't get anywhere close to answering questions like these.

However, your particular question is rather easy to answer,, because God would never send a child to hell. Otherwise, why not send the murdered unborn to hell? There parents were liberal freaks, and they didn't get to live their lives to the fullest. Similar circumstances...

Back to the real questions, how could God send Spade to hell? Even though you've lived a full life, sinned, rebelled, and had your chance to seek redemption, you're still fallible, right? How can a just God do that?

The only way to answer this is to either learn God's character and ask him, or wait until Judgment Day. My preference would be that all you God haters will another chance on that day, but hey, that's only my preference.
