Why is there Suffering? 2. How Can a Good God Send People to Hell? 3. How Can there be ONLY One Way to Heaven? 2
3 Troublesome Question #1 What do Atheists/Agnostics Say about Suffering? 1. Not much No Real Answer: By Chance (disease, natural disasters, etc) By Humanity Not Beneficial Behavior Will solve by Evolution Most are Humanists Evolved people will do no harm to humans, animals, or the planet. 3
4 What do Other Religions Say about Suffering? 1. Eastern (Buddhism, Hinduism, et al): Suffering exists & arises from attachment to desires ANSWER: Detachment From stuff, people, relationships, etc. Plus Reincarnation Cosmic Do-Over NO FORGIVENESS 2. Islam Suffering Exists to Refine You and Make you More Suitable for Heaven God is Punishing You What Does Christianity Say about Suffering? Byproduct of Humanity s Freedom God is HOLDING BACK Full Impact of Suffering Humanity Is Fallen Disease, Strife, Corruption. Your Education and Behavior is NOT the problem. Your Separation from God is the Actual Problem. 4
5 Troublesome Question #2 How Does A Loving God Send People to Hell???? How Does A Loving God Send People to Hell???? The Origins of Hell Who are its true citizens? The Purpose of Hell What Does Freedom Look Like Without Hell? 5
6 The New Home for Fallen Angels: No Attributes of God Absence of God To Create a New Place to Rule Free from Him. God s Attributes: Love Peace Beauty Everlasting Light Comfort 6
7 ABSENCE (OR opposite) of God s Attributes: Love HATE Peace UNREST, STRIFE, VIOLENCE, TERROR Beauty UGLY, HORROR Everlasting Light TOTAL DARKNESS Comfort DISCONTENT, DISPLEASURE, DISSATISFACTION, GLOOM, MISERY, PAIN, SADNESS, SORROW, WANT, WOE, AGGRAVATION, HURT, INJURY, TORMENT, TORTURE Clearly - They did not think this through. Divorce from God Meant Divorce from His Attributes But what does that have to do with Humans???? 7
8 But what does Hell have to do with Humans???? Like Kids in an Ugly Divorce: God Lost Custody The Court Battle? Adam s Choice of Who to Follow Troublesome Question #3 How Can there be ONLY One Way? 8
9 Troublesome Question #3 How Can there be ONLY One Way? What is Wrong with Many Paths? Lot s of Good People Don t Follow Jesus. You Mean Good People are Doomed? Atheist/Agnostic Comparison To Christianity 9
