Well, fellow Christians, if the Bible is to be believed,it looks like everyone on earth is DOOMED!Including us!

It's time to play "devil's advocate." Have some food for thought. Your comments are invited!

Many, many actual Christians, both mainstream and fundamentalist, believe that the Bible contains no contradictions. But that's such an extreme case of living in denial as to be ludicrous. If a person does a Google search for: "Bible" "contradictions" -- he'll find that there are hundreds of contradictions -- most of which cannot be explained away by even the most far-fetched and clutching-at-straws attempts to do so.

And here is a KEY example of that: Rev. 21:8 vis-a-vis the New Testament's promises of salvation.

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

There you go! "ALL liars."

Have you ever met any person who doesn't at least tell "white" lies? Every sentient and conscious person older than infancy on the planet lies some of the time. So -- pretty much everyone on earth, whether Christian or not, is inexorably doomed to hellfire, according to this passage, which provides for NO exceptions.

So if you're not an infant, then tough luck, gang! That's the... way it goes...
