Is this a covert description of 2 versions of Hell?

Given the current interpretation I see in each... Xian. It's the lesser of two evils as I see it. At least I won't get my hand chopped off for stealing a hunk of bread.

 

Scoreboard Christianity.

 

Besides, I already live in a country that's 90% xian. It's still thankfully pretty benign.

 

See, us Christians aren't that evil.

 

A benign cancer is still cancer.

 

Atheists seem to be thriving in this "cancerous" environment.

 

Thriving?!?!!

Hardly. Atheists are looked upon as non-citizens and even less than human by many xians.

 

What? You're kidding.

Well, you gotta admit that if you don't think there is a God to answer to, you might be more likely to be dishonest.

 

Only if you're a theist and need that kind of childish threat. As a humanistic adult, I try to do the right thing as a matter of personal integrity, not because I'll get spanked by Big Sky Daddy [sup]TM[/sup]. This is where xians have an incredible anount of ignorance regarding the typical atheist. In reality, we're more likely to do the right thing, simply because we have to answer to ourselves.

 

Is the city going to be nuked soonish?

 

Will you be in it?

 

What's the other 10%?

 

yeah right. Pewert.

 

Yeah, right. And it's spelled pewter. And why would you call me a material for making plates and decorative ornaments?

 

Pitiful. I pity anyone who has to live under such conditions. I ptiy me.
