Well, there's a difference between speaking for God, being divinely inspired, and a joke. - Mark Trapp

Well, If I believe in God, I prefer him as a smartass. Much more interesting than the petty, vindictive version a lot of Christians believe in. - Lindsay Donaghe

We don't believe in a petty, vindictive God, either. That would be a silly thing to believe in. - Mark Trapp

Lindsay, I'm sure He has a sense of humor. He'd have to have a well-developed one in order to put up with our crap, day in, day out, through the millenia. - Raoul Pop

yeah but there is a fine line there Mark. people can say just about anything for someone when they are not close to the person (physically or emotionally) - Justin

Justin, I think you need to factor in intent and the reasonably expected consequences of a sign like this. No reasonable person would believe that God made the billboard and is using it as a mouthpiece to speak to people stuck in traffic, and I doubt the billboard maker intended to deceive anyone with the sign. Although thinking about it some more, if this was a jab at Christianity by some prankster, it'd be improper, but the sign qua the sign can't infer intent. Need more information. - Mark Trapp

@Mark, not saying you do, but a lot of Christians do. Anyone who believes that God would send them to be tortured in Hell for ETERNITY for even one, unrepentant sin (or, for that matter, 80 years worth of sins compared to eternity) is worshiping a pretty petty god. - Lindsay Donaghe

Christians don't believe that Lindsay. The God of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism is all forgiving. In Christianity, there is only one unforgivable sin, and Satan's the only one who's committed it. Christians believe if you are truly sorry for your sins, God will forgive you. Unconditionally. It's the core tenet of the religion. - Mark Trapp

"there's a difference between speaking for God, being divinely inspired, and a joke" - no difference that I have ever been able to discern - Brian Sullivan

that makes sense. though i'm not sure i approve of these sort of things regardless of their intended effect. yeah sure people wont necessarily believe god made the billboard but someone did make this to prove a point which people are entitled to do. i guess my point is instead of using a deity to back up whatever the intent is, use some reasoning other than "cause the deity said so." - Justin

hmmm... I think my response to Mark was deleted. I guess I'll take that as a clue my opinion isn't welcome on this discussion. That's ok. - Lindsay Donaghe

Lindsay, Victor would be the only one capable of moderating comments, and I don't think he's around right now: it might not have reached Friendfeed due to a network hiccup or something. Everyone's opinion should be welcome, but what you're saying isn't a possible interpretation of who God is to a Christian. The religion breaks down if you assume God is vindictive and petty. If someone purporting to be a Christian tells you that, they are misinformed. - Mark Trapp

Mark is it a sin not to be a Christian? Will I have to ask forgiveness for being a Buddhist? Heh. My religion has no punishment beyond that which one does to ones self. - Tad, Fool

Ok, well, I'll try again... I know plenty of Christians who believe that God will send you to Hell for eternity if you have even one unrepentant sin. In my opinion any God who would torture you for eternity for anything you did in the short ~80 year timespan you have on earth is being petty and vindictive. I'm not saying all Christians feel that way, but those who do worship a dictator god who is only worshipped out of fear. I feel sorry for those people. - Lindsay Donaghe

@Mark - I've come across many Christians who feel the way Lindsay describes. - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)

@Mark, the trick comes also in determining what's really a sin. The Bible has so many conflicting rules and gray-areas that I'm sure everyone sins even if they don't know it or they do but consider it to be inconsequential or even necessary in the long run (for "small" sins). If you aren't sorry for something you've done, and don't consider it a sin but, in God's view, it is, does that preclude you from receiving forgiveness and then sentence you to hell? Choosing a non-Christian religion is an example. - Lindsay Donaghe

I had a conversation with a very religious Christian (non-denominational) guy I used to work with one time. He had some Bible quote on his desk that was kind of scary - something about being afraid of God. I asked him how God could be scary if he was omnibenevolent (all good). He said, well, maybe he's not all good. Then I asked why worship that? His answer was because his anger is mighty or something like that. No thanks. - Tad, Fool

Tad, different denominations have different interpretations, but for the Church, it makes no claims on what happens to people outside the Church. We simply don't know the full will of God. You could be saved, you could not be. It only makes a claim of what's a surefire way to be saved. Lindsay, it does a disservice to the majority of Christians who are informed of the basic articles of their faith to be lumped in with people who haven't a clue or a deeply misinformed idea of God. They simply aren't Christians in the minds of the greater community, even if they purport to be. It's like saying polygamy is encouraged in Mormonism, when it really is just a small breakaway sect who thinks that. Christianity is founded upon God forgiving anyone who asks for forgiveness, because the only perfect being is God. It's built into the system that even the most religious people mess up and do things wrong. - Mark Trapp

How many Catholics are in hell right now for eating meat on Friday? - Tad, Fool

also, just to point out... the internet is awesome! where else can you get a billboard to launch a thousand comments! (i don't mean that in a mocking sense) i really enjoy friendfeed and the conversations it provides! - Justin

Hooray for giving religion the finger after 9 years of catholic school! And I never looked back. - ::Kristen::

Tad, none. It's not a mortal sin. - Mark Trapp

I actually agree with Mark - that's my understanding of Christianity in its generic sense. I can't imagine Jesus himself condemning anyone to any sort of torture for any reason. That's just not my experience with how most Christians I've met act. - Tad, Fool

@Mark: +1. totally agree with you. - Alex Sauceda

@Tad Donaghe: http://www.biblegateway.com/pa...; It says there that those who say to abstain from certain foods (e.g. meat) are false teachers. - Jake (aka Jawee)

What's the distinction between mortal and not mortal? - Lindsay Donaghe

@Mark, I grew up around Southern Baptists. They most definitely held the viewpoint I described. They are a significant mainstream segment of Christianity. Your viewpoint is in the minority of the Christians I have been exposed to. Not to say you're wrong, just to say, in my experience, most Christians do worship a god they fear and that seems very odd to me. - Lindsay Donaghe

Simple actions don't damn you. Heck, God isn't even the one who damns you: you damn yourself. It's a state of mind: to know what God says, and then to flagrantly reject it. You can be confused, you can be misguided, you can just not understand what He says, or any number of things. What prevents you from being saved is to understand everything you need to and still say "No, I'm better than that. I'm better than God." It's an attitude that comes out of hubris, and if you've had it for 80 years, you're probably going to have it regardless of how much time you're given. The actions that qualify as sins are representations of that attitude. But seriously, I don't pretend we're going to figure out "that religion thing" in this thread, but I would hope that we could all show some mutual respect for each other's beliefs. - Mark Trapp

@Mark back on after a break, I don't believe in deleting peoples comments. Haven't even blocked anyone yet. @Lindsay did you mean moral? - Victor Ryden

Mark, I assume you know of Pharyngula? http://scienceblogs.com/pharyn... ? - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)

I respect what you believe, but I hope that you realize you're not speaking for ALL Christians or even necessarily the majority of them. I think if God were omnibenevolent he would even give the guy who rejected him for 80 years a ticket out of hell after suffering for 80 years. Eternity is a long time. No sin is worth an eternity in hell to an omnibenevolent god, but Hell is a one-way ticket. - Lindsay Donaghe

@Lindsay, oh I see your context now - check out http://www.catholicdoors.com/f... - Victor Ryden

Mark may not be speaking for ALL Christians and that's right, not all Christians have the same knowledge about GOD. - Alex Sauceda

Lindsay, I'm describing basic, unassailable tenets of Christianity. All Christians must accept them. In that sense, I am speaking for all Christians. If someone who purports to be a Christian tells you that they believe something contradictory to what I'm describing, they are, by definition, not Christian. Beware false prophets. - Mark Trapp

Why do Christians always have to capitalize GOD, if he see all, pretty sure he sees your misuse of the caps key. You guys are so cute living your lives by fairy tales ::pinches cheeks :: - sean percival

At the risk of throwing gasoline on a fire, the concept of "eternal" punishment is not exactly biblical. I only say this because I struggled with the same questions. Not all Christians believe this, but it's the kind of question that the God I believe in wants us to examine for ourselves, IMHO. - ha3rvey

@Mark, I challenge you to go to Mississippi or any other southern US state and walk into a Baptist church and ask anyone there if they believe that God doesn't punish you for your sins in the way I have described. And if you find, as I expect, they disagree with you on the unassailable tenets, I challenge you to tell them they are not Christians. - Lindsay Donaghe

friendfeed seems to breed conversation huh? interesting - Ruben Llibre

For XXX's sake, Mona - comment on one of Lindsay's bacon creations or she'll be up all night trying! - Tad, Fool

I prefer Dunkin Donuts. This is torture at 5pm though. - Haggis (Sean)

This is torture at 3:30 pm. And I don't usually like donuts. - L.J. Leng

I'm so glad that KK is not what I crave when I crave doughnuts. :-) Er, sorry for bumping this, Lindsay... - Lisa L. Seifert

Lindsay, are you in agreement that when it comes to doughnuts, different restaurants have different "best kinds"? With KK, it's their hot-off-the-oil-river plain glazed. With Dunkin' Donuts, it is their boston cream. - Phil Glockner

omg those look really good! - Justin

I think i need to hide this but I can't... gah - Brandon

Recent run in with the cops? - Paul W. Swansen

who bumped this? I wish I could hide my own stuff because this makes me want KKD in the worst way. - Brandon
