This one was actually pointed out to me by my father. He himself is a clear-cut atheist, while I am more a sceptical agnostic.
To background the rant: my sister is emotional, sensitive, and devoutly Chrisitian... which in itself is fine. We've always had our bad moments, but generally we get on OK. 2 years ago she started uni, and this year so did I, personally I felt that the time apart has brought us closer together when we do see each other...
Anyways, the other week I go an email from her (so long that it's a wonder googlemail didn't crash) and amongst the general crap about us growing apart *sadface* there was a massive chunk about how "Jesus loves you more than you could ever know" and how I "just need to let him into my life"... imagine Jahova's whitness's with technological capabilities :S
This I met with my standard "here she goes again" internal response, along with "bitch stop acting like you're better than me!" that every brother has for his sister... This is until my Dad, who received similar emails, pointed out to me the subtext... essentially my sister was sending me an email saying "SINNER YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!.. PS I'm not so HAHAHAHA!"...
Now this got me thinking... isn't Jesus supposed to love us all? ... equally? ... so why would he send some of us to hell, and grant others eternal happy in heaven? Surely this shows favouritism? ... and how can you justifiably condemn someone you love to an eternity of torture? I'm not sure I could even do that to someone I hate.
Also, what sort of inequality and fucked up place would grant access to a paedophile (catholic priest) over a scientist (atheist/evolutionist) who cured cancer? Does this heaven actually sound like such a great place now?..
