I don’t think you were ever a Christian if your understanding of the gospel leads you to think this. Whatever you were had to be very ungodly and ugly to make that leap with the background you had.
Unfortunately for you, the topic is what you believe - which has you hopping around trying to change the subject - and not stuff that I don't believe. I believe we all die. You can question me on that to youyr heart's content.
You believe, if I am not mistaken, that non-Christians are not allowed to die, so to speak, but are made to suffer eternal torment in a "Lake of Fire" forever more.
Now, presumably, you believe that because Jesus was crucified, child rapists who believe that He was crucified to forgive them their "sins", including child rapes, and if they repent they will have everlasting life, while child rapists who are not Christians will be tortured in flames, right?
It's not about the raping of children, right? It's about the lack of certain religious beliefs. I am talking about your beliefs, not what mine were in past decades.
