Pope Francis on hell and Adam and Eve:
“Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas. The church no longer believes in a literal hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God.” He further added: “All religions are true, because they are true in the hearts of all those who believe in them. What other kind of truth is there? In the past, the church has been harsh on those it deemed morally wrong or sinful. Today, we no longer judge. Like a loving father, we never condemn our children. Our church is big enough for heterosexuals and homosexuals, for the pro-life and the pro-choice! For conservatives and liberals, even communists are welcome and have joined us. We all love and worship the same God.” |

What difference does it make when one is discussing superstitions? -- All that is left in the contemporary Republican-Conservative-Christian-Tea Party is a majority of hate-filled “basers” that cannot tolerate gays, blacks, latinos, students, women, and non-Christians, and a small minority of “old-style” Republicans who pretend to ignore morons like Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin, and the venom their party leaders spew. |
