Is Hell eternal, or do some/all escape it? The Byzantine Orthodox would beg to differ with you. |

What is the biblical basis for the claim that abortion is immoral? Except I agree with that position as well. The argument I presented was merely "Well, if we do accept the notion that a fetus is a person, then it doesn't really change anything." |

What happens to non-believers or believers of other religions after death? The position presented here is not a universal among Christians, but is in fact a minority even among theistic Christians. The answer should be edited to reflect that. |

Reason for loving/worshiping Jesus Since El'endia Starman made an obvious mistake, I'll repeat the essence of what I said "'Significant' does not matter. So since we can safely ignore that issue, I can say that both I and the Church of Christ, Scientist hold that belief." |

Reason for loving/worshiping Jesus Why was my perfectly constructive and on-topic comment removed for allegedly being "unconstructive"? Utter nonsense. |

Non-Christian/secular translation of the Bible? I wouldn't really call Asimov or Jefferson's works (Tolstoy undertook a similar project, btw) "translations" but rather "digests." |

Why does the LDS church (Mormon) put so much more emphasis on the family than most other denominations do? Out of curiosity, if "the LDS church also puts such a heavy emphasis on accepting people for who they are, and not who we think they should be," then how is baptism of the dead justified? |

Reason for loving/worshiping Jesus You are aware that not all Christians identify the Christ with Jesus personally and that therefore Jesus is not necessarily a particularly meaningful figure in all forms of Christianity, right? Perhaps you should be more specific in your question. |

What's the main logical basis that is put forth by those Christians who don't believe in the existence of God? @Chelonian I might point out that it's my personal stance that those who believe in a god are in fact not really Christians because belief in a god is positively incompatible with the teachings of the Christ, and that Paulinism is an outright repudiation of true Christianity. So I don't think you can necessarily include the Paulinist tradition as part of atheistic Christianity at all. |

What's the main logical basis that is put forth by those Christians who don't believe in the existence of God? Christianity is not a set of rituals, it is a way of life. If a person is living, or sincerely attempting to live, in emulation of the Christ, with universal brotherly love, he is living Christianity; whether or not he "practices" ritualistic "Christianity" is not really important to being Christian. |

What is the biblical basis for the claim that abortion is immoral? A born child also has its own DNA, but that does not confer upon it a right to literally eat the flesh off of its mother's bones. Yet that is essentially what a fetus is doing. |

Are bad things in life Satan's doing or God testing/punishing me? Seriously, whoever tagged this needs to understand that. Since I am the only one I know of who understands Christianity in this way, and since I have, at present, no external writings, I am my own reference for the teachings of the particular form of Christianity I espouse.I'm getting voted down either because people disagree with me or because they don't realize that I am my own source and so all possible sources are provided by the very fact of me posting here. Neither, of course, is acceptable. |

Are bad things in life Satan's doing or God testing/punishing me? Me. I'm one. I am my own reference for the particular form of Christianity I've developed. I've explained this to you several times already. I'm not convinced you understand this site all that well. |
