1. If there is any afterlife as such

the hell men like Cheney and the Koch brothers will find is that they've had to leave everything they grabbed and stole on earth behind them and they will be stripped to their essential natures, the same as everyone else.

My guess is that it will be torture for them.

2. he wants the right to not believe in hell. Will he give me the right

not to believe in his God, or will he have me burned at the stake for not believing as he does?? Same old, same old.

5. Good for him............

As a Christian, I do not share the Dante's doomsday vision of hell. I believe hell is (a) temporary and (b) characterized by separation from God.

Why would a God that created mankind and womankind sentence them to eternal torture? My view is hell is a place away from God, kind of like being put in a corner in school, where you are given a chance to recognize your faults and return to God.

I admire this pastor for refusing to perpetuate a view of hell that is, save Revelations that was written by a madman, not supported by the Bible.

7. there's more reason to fire him than

to fire someone for attempting suicide... won't even both listening to the nut. got worse things out there than having one person trying to force his views on others..
