Not my point. In China, Christianity is viewed and presented in the same way we view Greek Mythology, as absurdity. IF a child is raised this way, he will naturally adopt this view - ergo reject this mythology. So if the goat god were real, would he place the child in such a position just because he has a desire to torture him?
You see, the foundation of your religion makes no sense, it is based on an evil god who sets 2/3rds of people up to go to hell - deliberately.
Oh, I don't reject Christianity - rejection would be to give it credence. I view Christianity with amusement, absurd tales of antiquity.
And in China Christianity is spreading like wildfire, btw...even though it's illegal.
Do you blame them? Look at the way Christians act in China.

Believe in Jesus or I'll stab you?
How about christians in the US?
What would be worse, dying once or burning in hell for eternity? Christians are even sicker.
Read your Bible and decide for yourself. What did the Christ say himself?
Joh_8:15Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
It is the fundamentalist churches that have condemned everyone to a fiery punishment, not the Christ. The Christ was the most gentile man who ever walked this earth. Let's simply apply some common sense.
If God has already sentenced sinners to a fiery hell without the due process of a trial, why then did he say that there would be a coming judgment? What would be the need if they are already serving a sentence? That would at least be double jeopardy.
Do you really think God would sentence one individual to a sentence of constant torture for 1,000 years longer than another guilty of the same offense? Of course He wouldn't.
There are two coming judgments. The judgment of the saints where their rewards will be given or taken away and the Great White Throne judgment where all the rest of mankind will face the fair and impartial judgment of the Christ.
Forget about what all these fundamentalist churches teach. They have already deemed the Christ an absolute failure and will answer to Him directly for their false teachings. Worry about standing before Him yourself. You won't be required to answer for the fundies or for anyone else.
