    The doctrine of eternal pain is my trouble with this Christian religion. I reject it on account of its infinite heartlessness.

  14. A quotation from The Bible

    Give a welcome to anyone whose faith is not strong, but do not get into arguments about doubtful points. One person may have faith enough to eat any kind of food; another, less strong, will eat only vegetables. Those who feel free to eat freely are not to condemn those who are unwilling to eat freely; nor must the person who does not eat freely pass judgement on the one who does — because God has welcomed him. And who are you, to sit in judgement over somebody else’s servant? Whether he deserves to be upheld or to fall is for his own master to decide.
     
    [Τὸν δὲ ἀσθενοῦντα τῇ πίστει προσλαμβάνεσθε, μὴ εἰς διακρίσεις διαλογισμῶν. ὃς μὲν πιστεύει φαγεῖν πάντα, ὁ δὲ ἀσθενῶν λάχανα ἐσθίει. ὁ ἐσθίων τὸν μὴ ἐσθίοντα μὴ ἐξουθενείτω, ὁ δὲ μὴ ἐσθίων τὸν ἐσθίοντα μὴ κρινέτω, ὁ θεὸς γὰρ αὐτὸν προσελάβετο. σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ κρίνων ἀλλότριον οἰκέτην; τῷ ἰδίῳ κυρίῳ στήκει ἢ πίπτει.]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
    Romans 14: 1-4 [NJB (1985)]

  19. A quotation from The Bible

    Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.” Instead, “if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink, for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
     
    [μὴ ἑαυτοὺς ἐκδικοῦντες, ἀγαπητοί, ἀλλὰ δότε τόπον τῇ ὀργῇ, γέγραπται γάρ, ” Ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις, ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω,” λέγει κύριος. ἀλλ᾽ ” ἐὰν πεινᾷ ὁ ἐχθρός σου, ψώμιζε αὐτόν· ἐὰν διψᾷ, πότιζε αὐτόν· τοῦτο γὰρ ποιῶν ἄνθρακας πυρὸς σωρεύσεις ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.” μὴ νικῶ ὑπὸ τοῦ κακοῦ ἀλλὰ νίκα ἐν τῷ ἀγαθῷ τὸ κακόν.]

  23. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Strange! that no one has ever been persecuted by the church for believing God bad, while hundreds of millions have been destroyed for thinking him good. The orthodox church never will forgive the Universalist for saying “God is love.” It has always been considered as one of the very highest evidences of true and undefiled religion to insist that all men, women and children deserve eternal damnation. It has always been heresy to say, “God will at last save all.”

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
    Lecture (1872-01-29), “The Gods,” Fairbury Hall, Fairbury, Illinois

  34. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    When I speak of “the sinner”, I do not mean the man who commits sin: sins are committed by everyone or no one, according to our definition of the word. I mean the man who is absorbed in the consciousness of sin. This man is perpetually incurring his own disapproval, which, if he is religious, he interprets as the disapproval of God. He has an image of himself as he thinks he ought to be, which is in continual conflict with his knowledge of himself as he is.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 1 “What Makes People Unhappy?” (1930)

  37. A quotation from Omar Khayyám

    The Master did himself these vessels frame,
    Why should he cast them out to scorn and shame?
       If he has made them well, why should he break them?
    Yea, though he marred them, they are not to blame.

    Omar Khayyám (1048-1123) Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer [عمر خیام]
    Rubáiyát [رباعیات], Fitz. # 86 [tr. Whinfield (1883), # 126]

  38. A quotation from The Bible

    Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and there will be gifts for you: a full measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap; because the standard you use will be the standard used for you.
     
    [Καὶ μὴ κρίνετε, καὶ οὐ μὴ κριθῆτε· καὶ μὴ καταδικάζετε, καὶ οὐ μὴ καταδικασθῆτε. ἀπολύετε, καὶ ἀπολυθήσεσθε· δίδοτε, καὶ δοθήσεται ὑμῖν· μέτρον καλὸν πεπιεσμένον σεσαλευμένον ὑπερεκχυννόμενον δώσουσιν εἰς τὸν κόλπον ὑμῶν· ᾧ γὰρ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε ἀντιμετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν.]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
    Luke 6:37-38 (Jesus) [NJB (1985)]

    «
    The sword of God falls neither swift nor slow
    Save to those eager to see justice done,
    Or who in guilt and fear await the blow.

    [La spada di qua sù non taglia in fretta
    né tardo, ma’ ch’al parer di colui
    che disïando o temendo l’aspetta.]

    «
    Let Tom and Jane not think, because they see
    one man is picking pockets and another
    is offering all his goods to charity,
    that they can judge their neighbors with God’s eyes:
