Universalism makes sense to me too, and also I started to get the idea of purgatory--that especially evil people need to be purified before they can be in God's presence--and also annihilationism, that others are just completely gone if they choose to reject Christianity or suck too much for purgatory or whatever

It’s a fairly standard - though not consensus - view among white American Evangelicals that everyone who has never even heard about Jesus (think about say, an Aboriginal person living in present day Australia in 1000 CE) is condemned to an eternity in hell.

Oh for sure. I was raised with that nonsense. My first real cognitive dissonance experience for me was being like okay God is all-loving but didn't reveal himself to people in New Zealand in 400bce and they just get tortured? Then I learned about general revelation and how evangelicals rejected that to retain power, etc etc. very normal belief system

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
