The Huffman source is straight out of a college textbook on Psychology. 

And we all know that college textbooks are the last word on everything.

No, (I didnt say that),  but they are a perfectly acceptable source of reference--and you know it. 

And you know J'Carlin is wrong too.  I bet you wish he would shut up.  I would if he was on my side.

I wish you'd choke on a turd.

The idea that there is a place of eternal punishment to which you will surely go when you die unless a dead Jew decides to rescue you from it out of the goodness of his heart certainly calls for a "Hmmph!" It is distinctly crude and bizarre. -Ken

Not me—you.  Hell is not something I need concern myself with, so it has nothing to do with my motives in being generous.  And I really don’t care if you think what I believe is crude and bizarre.  

Hell isn't anything any non-believers are concerned about either.  It's an absurd idea.  And it goes against the text that says "Jesus died for the sins of mankind".  That Christians like you have accepted the interpretation that salvation extends only to believers who have "accepted Jesus as savior" isn't very compassionate.  It's in fact quite selfish and cruel.  Truly compassionate people would interpret the text to mean that Jesus died for all humans, regardless of whether they believe.  Selfishness exhibited by many Christians misses the mark and does not impress me.
