A well-known Brownsville political operative shared the above meme on Facebook yesterday.
While I understand the sentiment regarding hypocrisy, I question the premise of Hell, a "place" where supposedly the "wicked" are tormented throughout eternity for their "sins."
That concept seems to contradict the alleged teachings of the historical Jesus about mercy, forgiveness, etc.
Supposedly, in Christian lore, the supervisor of this fiery inferno is none other than Satan the Devil, making him God's chief and most trusted employee, carrying out God's punishment for violating God's rules.
Does that make any sense at all?
As long as we're questioning ridiculous concepts, what about that halfway house, purgatory?
Who came up with that dumbass idea?
What's so ironic is that the preacher pictured above pontificates about what makes a person a Christian, while promoting a concept like Hell that makes Christianity appear vindictive, judgemental, unforgiving, merciless and yes, contrary to what Jesus supposedly taught.
Christians, please tell me why I'm offbase and likely condemned to Hell.

Claiming something to be true does not make it true.
