The number of Christians defending eternal conscious torment (ECT), in the wake of @KirkCameron's comments, is both sad but curious.

It’s sad because of:

(a) the psychological damage that ECT has done to people throughout history,

(b) the strong historical, philosophical, and moral arguments for annihilationism and / or universal reconciliation (UR); and,

(c) my personal experience of being instinctively drawn towards a God who operates with UR, while wanting nothing to do with one who operates with ECT.

But it’s curious because of the why. Why do so many Christians defend ECT? Well, there’s several reasons, and theologian David Bentley Hart spends time examining them in That All Shall Be Saved (a highly recommended read).

One reason I’m entertaining is a sort of hatred against the self and others that develops, when one fails to overcome the fear that ECT brings, and instead submits to it. Perhaps when one does this, and then is later confronted with the idea that ECT isn’t true, maybe this assaults the ego, as it reveals a character defect. Or maybe it reveals to the person that the reasons for which they accepted Christianity were faulty. Or it’s some type of Stockholm syndrome. I’m not sure.

Now to anyone reading this, who has struggled with ECT fears, the good news is the arguments for Universal Reconciliation are much, much stronger, than you might suspect, especially if you were raised in a fundamentalist environment and never seriously explored the alternatives. Again, David Bentley Hart’s That All Shall Be Saved is highly recommended, if you want to start this exploration.

And ironically, I don’t even consider myself a Christian. But I might very well be in love with the God who, in the end, redeems all who ever lived back to Him.

@dgt10011 @grok give me a three sentence summary that a 8 year old can understand

[Kudo @CryptoC58828499]

@GaryCardone @scottmelker Nope. Alts move based on BTC. Not the other way around.

[Kudo @CryptoC58828499]

@GaryCardone Rally the troops Gary. I say we all decide that THIS is where we hold the 🌽 line.

[Kudo @CryptoC58828499]

@GaryCardone I mean….. I like it

[Kudo @CryptoC58828499]

@scottmelker very silly

[Kudo @CryptoC58828499]

@GrantCardone think it's a buy

[Kudo @CryptoC58828499]

@PeterSchiff @saylor you keep telling em that and maybe they've believe it.

[Kudo @CryptoC58828499]

@PeterSchiff @saylor Fair enough. Mate you've been slamming on Bitcoin for a decade, and the price is higher than when you first started. My bet is the same will be true ten years from now.

[Kudo @CryptoC58828499]

@BeastCreative33 Yes. AI is an excellent tool. But it fails offer meaningful insight when looking towards the future.

[Kudo @CryptoC58828499]

@PeterSchiff So you’re saying that you do not receive a monthly check from X? I doubt that.

[Kudo @CryptoC58828499]

@PeterSchiff I’m increasingly convinced that Schiff does all this for the engagement revenue.

[Kudo @CryptoC58828499]

@PeterSchiff If this is the state of Strategy in the depths of a bear market, then they’ll be just fine.
