Sam Harris on Going to Heaven/Hell
cmessengerI think that Sam understands this doctrine perfectly well. What he's saying is that it's an abomination. No reasonable person, who is not indoctrinated with such poisonous Biblical nonsense, would agree that killing your wife is the same, morally, as cheating on your wife.
Get out of the bubble, and think for yourself! Living to die is a horrible way to waste a life.
Sam mentions how a serial killer could get saved while an innocent perishes elsewhere:
What the bible says is this:
Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
There aren't any innocents over the age of accountability. The man who has cheated on his wife is equally guilty in Gods eyes as the man who murdered his wife. What God calls good is not a relative standard like human beings use, as we compare ourselves to eachother and think we are good people because we haven't done the big two (rape, murder). What God calls good is moral perfection and what He calls evil is everything that falls short of that, even one sin. He also says that if you hate someone you have murdered them in your heart and you are a murderer at heart. Sam does not appear to understand what the bible says Gods standards actually are.
