Sorta reminds me of what Big Time Christians say about how non-believers
will be subjected to some sort of horrible fate at some point in the
future.
Armageddon or whatever. Too bad if you happen to be an excellent person,

a Buddhist.


Doug, what is a 'Big Time Christian'? I know of none who say that.

They're the ones with the biggest mouths, John. And, the ones who are so
eager to "share" their way of life with people who didn't ask for that
"favor".


And you have a quote, somewhere, of one of these 'big mouths' saying those
who don't believe in his
'religion' are going to some horrible fate?

If so, I doubt if he speaks for the majority of Christians. Are there
extremists? Sure, just like
there are extremist Muslims and Democrats.

Two acquaintances whose minds were polluted by the same church in Kentucky.
One from Chicago. And, an entire family of eight from here. All talk about
Armegeddon as if it is real, and well deserved by non-believers. Buddhist?
Too bad. Jew? Oh well.


Are those acquaintances 'Big Time Christians'? I know some of the Christian denominations are
believers in the 'Armageddon' (a final battle between the forces of good and evil), but I've not
heard any state that 'non-believers' are going to some horrible fate thereafter.

The concept of Armageddon, given the amount of nuclear weapons existent, doesn't seem so far
fetched. There may be disagreement over who the good and bad guys are. The way things are shaping
up, it may be extremist Muslims versus everyone else.
