MtheGM, I'm not sure what you are saying. I agree that joy at the suffering of others is a bad thing. I concede that joy at eternal damnation proportionately is worse. I concede that there probably are people who consider themselves to be Christian who might take joy in your damnation. Certainly there are those that seem to feel that way about The President and Muslims, and Liberals.

But the vast majority don't feel that way. And as I said before, that does not square with Jesus' teaching of "Love thy Neighbor as Thyself." I don't understand how people can call themselves Christian and disobey Christ so blatantly. But there are millions of people who do.

Spirituality are Christianity are more journey's than states of being. There are many wrong forks in the road. Looking at the answers Gnu got to his question it seems that most people on this forum on a spiritual path are on the right road for them. (that is just my opinion, I make no claim to Divine Knowledge) But that doesn't mean everyone on Earth is on a constructive rather than destructive path. Clearly there are millions who are on the latter path.
