Please make Cyberman's ban only temporary

my Brother is a priest. I asked him what would happen if a plane crashed tomorrow on a desert island and the sole survivor was a pregnant woman. she has a son then dies.
the son is raised by squirrels or wolves aor something and grows to be a man.

he has never heard of moses, jesus or mohammed (peas be upon him)

then he dies. does he go to heaven ?


answer - he goes to hell

reason - he has never accepted jesus.



scary

I think it's not so cut and dried. All this stuff is shrouded in ineffability and though frustrating, for good reason.

Was this a Priest, or a Vicar? I didn't think Roman Catholics thought accepting Jesus was the only way to heaven (I reckon the bible claims otherwise but anyway surprised a priest would make that claim).
No Christian can have the definitive answer to these questions really because it's not answered in the bible, all they can do is trust God knows best. Even for Christians of course that's hard... it's easy to say it to someone else who has lost a baby but equally easy to doubt when it happens to you.
I suppose the theologians would say it's all because of original sin that we have to live in a world which contains such ugliness in the first place. But that's an even bigger can of worms

I don't remember Cybermong ever changing his mind in a discussion, or even trying to meet anyone half way. Once he announced an opinion that was that and arguing with him, however reasonably, was like talking to a closed book.

I won't miss him, although some of his threads were quite funny, mostly on account of the ensuing replies.

Won't he now have more time to read his daily mail?

Definetely wins award for thread containing most completely different threads. Needs sort by subject button.

I find that hard to believe. Whatever judgement takes place will be fair. Is your brother cut out to be a priest?

I don't object to different opinions, in fact I enjoy them and the debate they engender. What I object to are trolls and sockpuppets that simply seek to cause strife and insult.

I've said several times that I don't understand why people troll or create trolling sockpuppets, the very tiny minority of sockpuppets that are genuinely funny are a different matter.

As I've said before, they are the same psychologically disturbed people who smear their faeces on the walls in public lavatories.

I wasn't fussed with cybertory being here - I simply had him on ignore and tried to ignore his comments when they were quoted by others. People like that are really not worth wasting time with. He was only one of two people who genuinely seem to get their jollies out of being obnoxious, and the ignore function works for the one remaining so I can't really see the problem.

...and I agree about sockpuppets - very dull, very silly.

Perfectly normal behaviour surely?
