DAVEH: If I were to fill in the blank G.....I'd say *God thinks like _a parent_*. In my opinion, God is quintessentially the ultimate parent. For him to do something contrary to what a parent would do....defies my perception of the Lord's love and mercy.

I think one of the biggest /problems /(if that is the proper word to use) I have with Protestantism is their view of hell and damnation. I've said it before, but for some of you who are a bit new to TT, I'll give you a brief explanation. It seems to me that Protestants are far too eager to toss those who don't agree with their perspective of religion on the ash heap of hell, so to speak. Or rather, they seem to pleasure in the thought that God will forever punitively torture those who fail to walk that narrow path and enter the strait gate. I just don't feel comfortable believing in a God who relishes torture, Lance. I prefer to believe God is loving, merciful and would that all his creation benefit from their existence.
