>...Spike and John Clark were discussing Hell and damnation in Christianity midweek, and I'd like to point out there is more than one possible interpretation of Jesus' sayings about what happens to those who are not saved... For those who like considering the simulation argument, it is interesting to note how simply this theology translates - there is a creator outside our existence which made this reality, it scans what is happening here, those who fail its spam filter will be deleted, those who meet certain criteria will be backed up and get to keep going.
