[Tfug] Another CC* weighs in....

[Paul Steinbach]

At the risk of getting flamed (ironic in a discussion of hell)...

Personally I am bothered by the use of the word hell treated so casually 
because it excludes me as a Christian conservative.  The word hell to me 
is not funny.  The word damn is not funny to me.  Unnecessary use of 
these are more serious and more offensive to me than the f-bomb.  
Treating these words casually trivializes my beliefs in this forum in 
the same way that a church elder telling me I can't be a good Christian 
because I am not friendly enough trivializes my faith at church.  It 
emphasizes differences.

I am a geek.  I have much in common with the posters here - often  more 
than the people at church.  Some of you know me from WorldCare or 
SimplyBits.  I am have friends across the philosophical spectrum.  I 
enjoy the posts even if I lurk more than I post.  I just ask that you 
remember us minority members when you post the header.  Some of us have 
beliefs that are a subgenus of geek.  And we promise not to post the 
joke about the busload of atheists going over a cliff...
