Bear in mind, whilst reading what follows, that this is the result of another restless nights sleep and therefore, in the cold light of day, read like utter clap trap, but I thought I’d share it.

Looking at things from a Chritian point of view it strikes me, with what knowledge I have of the belief system, that it is unlikely that, having died for everyone’s sins, Jesus would standby and passively let anyone be condemned to hell.
My thinking is this. At the point of judgement, either after death or on judgement day, you will be brought before God with Jesus at his right hand. Now if you have lived the life of a heathen obviously this will come as a bit of a shock. At this point God, who according to the bible is a might dischuffed with human kind, says he didn’t believe when he was alive – off to Hell he goes. Jesus, acting as the defence (as it were), would not (having died for our sins – including the sin of not believing) just passively sit there, otherwise his sacrifice was for nothing. Logic says to me that Jesus, being all about love and forgiveness, would step in, list all of the good things about you and then offer you one final chance to repent, renounce the mistakes you have made and therefore be saved.

That seems a damn sight more sensible to my mind as oppose to the theory that the son of god sacrificed himself for all of mankind just to sit back and watch the large majority of it go to hell.
Then again….I could be wrong.

The results from a survey conducted by Theos are very interesting. They show that the British Public hold many contrasting opinions about Darwin’s theory of evolution and Biblical creation.

What made me think more than anything is the comment quoted at the end by Darwin himself, basically saying that he saw no reason why the Scientific and Religious camps could not get on when discussing the two points of view.
Something people could do with remembering these days, I think.
