This Church Sign Is Awesome {It's real, so don't even start with me.}

13. Oh please

The person the Samaritan helped was later cast into hell for all eternity by the same God who used him as a prop in the instructive moral tale of the Good Samaritan.

The good Samaritan story is a parable about hypocrisy and about living good values in practice.

It does nothing whatsoever to negate the (doctrinal) fact that all non-Christians are tortured for eternity, along with some Christian hypocrites.

The statement that God prefers nice athests to hateful Christians is grotesque in the context of a faith that maintains that the reward fos those "preferred" nice atheists is eternal damnation.

If this particular church does not hold that Christ is the only path to salvation then it isn't a Christian church... which is fine by me. Churchs can hold whatever they want to hold.

But the nauseating stuff about how there is anything "nice" about Christianity is based on willful miscomprehension of what Christ had to say.

Yes, a lot of people prefer the good works stuff and skip over the hell stuff, and everyone has that right. But they are not Christians.
