American church-going Christians don't believe in a very literal hell (underground, fire, Satan, the whole bit).

That it is ambiguous in the Bible, sure. That it is unclear in the minds of modern Christians and Christian leadership? Please.

Very true; certainly most do. (Although I think most Americans are too apathetic to actually believe wholeheartedly in anything anyhow.) I'm just arguing that "Christianity" isn't a monolith, and you can't pull a passage from the Bible and say that Christianity-in-itself believes a or b.

Much like my views on Islam and most other religions...my problems are based with the people who make a practice of evil in any guise, not with "religion" in general.

If that photo isn't photochopped, then it most definitely is the most awesomest ever.

And MikeD expressed my thought better than I could've, so I'll leave that with him.

Organized religion at its finest, just displaying what is at the core of all it's efforts, power and control over others. *shrugs* lthumbsdown:

Or maybe it just shows that people are people and get in fights.

Same thing.
