I know heartbreaking cases
of people in such
Churches who have sunk into deep
spiritual depressions, no longer able to bear the
teaching that God CAUSES billions
of humans to eternally burn in hell.
Being skeptical is nothing to be criticized, as virtually every believer is or ought to be skeptical, not only
of things they are
taught at
church, but also
of their personal
spiritual / religious beliefs.
