Carl Sagan...?

Question

is he in the hands of an angry God? Billions and billions of believers would say YES!

Answer 1

No, and he knew he wouldn't be.

Answer 2

Aren't Billions and Billions of believers around. Sorry.

Other than that, the Bible doesn't talk about an angry god tormenting people. He simply directs them to Hades, or Hell, or whatever you wish to call it, and someone else does his dirty work. But, no, Johnathan Edwards idea of holding sinners over a flame isn't biblical. No strings with bugs on them being held over flames. Not by God at least.

Too, lots of people that Christians call Christians when trying to bolster their numbers are called Pagans when they are spoken of from the Protestant pulpits. Cut out the Catholics, cut out the Mormons, cut out the Jehova's Witnesses, cut out the Christian Scientists, the Unitarians, the MCC, and the number of Christians that the Protestants talk about really diminishes.

Anyway, Carl is on the Isle of apples, or in the Summerlands or wherever it is that he is awaiting rebirth. He'll be back.

Answer 3

Nonsense! He should be an example to many. He lived his life trying to understand the nature of human existence; regardless of the pressures to accept multiple forms of unprovable foolishness. I may not agree with many of his metaphysical beliefs; but that doesn't change the fact that he lived as a decent, honest, and openminded man.

Answer 4

No

But he might be in the hands of billions billions of Astrologers who are all trying to tell him what an impressive moon sign he has!

Answer 5

Well yes, and lots of Muslims would say that victims of 9/11are in the hands of their angry god. Your point is that people sure believe their gods are monsters? I agree!
