I'm sick to death of these religious extremist (which this guy clearly is) using scare tactics and focusing on one section of the Bible to turn the words around to suit them.
This book was locally writen (by a South African author) and he's focused on the story of Lazarus and the rich man going to heaven. I have no problem with the fact that he focused on that section but what I do have a problem with is how he preaches as if he's died and gone to both sides before.
I know we all have different beliefs and understandings of things, especially spiritual matters but there is not one thing that my son or daughter could EVER do that would make me turn my back on them and scorn them. NOTHING! There is no way that I would offer my children free will and then punishing them for eternity for making use of that free will which I granted them. No way ever.
Now, if we are God's children and he made us in his image, why should I believe that if I choose to live differently to the norm and have alternative understandings/ interpretations of things that he will damn me to hell forever and sit by and watch me burn and beg him to grant me restitution?
I'm sorry but I just don't buy it.
I hate the fact that this guy insinsts that we need to all believe in one religion or we burn. What gives him the right?
