I'm not even gonna give it a score. I'm kind of appalled by the way Whetstone presents the idea of the qualifications for Hell. Maybe this is because I'm a Mormon, and so my beliefs on the subject are different (I believe that truly just God does NOT send someone who lived a good life to Hell because he didn't accept Christianity). But, meh. We're all stuck on this infinitesimal speck of dust (in the cosmic sense) with six billion of each other...better get used to it.
I'm also gonna say that, to me at least, it makes no sense if a Christian God, who is supposed to be perfectly loving and perfectly just, automatically condems people to Hell if they didn't accept Chrstianity in this life, regardless of how good they were anyways. A real Christian can recognize the fact that there are good people everywhere, regardless of what they do or do not believe in. We need to be saying "How can I add to the good?" instead of "You're wrong."
Even though I'm a Mormon/Christian, I've gotta say that out of all of these YTMNDs coming out of the "Whetstone War," this one is the best. To me, this one has been the one to really put it all into perspective the best, and it all makes sense. More than anything, I see it as a rallying cry for peace; regardless of what you believe in, you share this teensy little speck of a dot riding on a sunbeam with 6 billion other people.
Okay, seeing as I'm still new to this, I'm hoping that I'm not just double-posting.
But, again, you all are the ones who chose to view Whetstone's site, and you all have chosen to react in whatever way you did. No one is forcing anything on you. Grow up. Quit whining. If you don't believe in what he does, then just don't watch his stuff.
Like it's been said before, his "religious" beliefs are not being "forced" on anyone. You CHOSE to view his site, and you CHOSE to react the way you did. As a religious Christian myself, I don't really think Whetstone is the best person to represent religion, especially with his Cries of the Infidels site. But instead of crying about it and refusing to take responsibility for how I react, I just don't watch it. It's not that hard, people. It's called maturity.
Also, it's not being "open-minded" to slam someone with religious beliefs. True open-mindedness means respecting all thoughts of belief, even if you don't agree with some of them.
