> The picture of Christianity that I have put together from your posts is as follows: We are all sinners, but God loves us unconditionally. God will show his unconditional love for us by casting anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus into eternal torment. As for the future of those who do believe, it is possible that they may be saved. - Your confusion mirrors some of the reasons that Karen Armstrong, a former nun, left the church, and wrote "The History of God", 1993. She found the illogic of the theology and the concepts of punishment 'frightening'. Interestingly, at the time she produced the book she preferred Jewish or Muslim sevices, although I have no idea if she joined a faith.
