Sinners in the hands of an angry God
Since this is what many of the debates here are about I thought it would make sense to put a thread about this sermon here instead of comparitive religion,- this is the sermon by Jonathan Edwards- http://edwards.yale.edu/images/pdf/sinners.pdf , this is a pretty classic sermon, I even remember reading some of it in a literature book in school which was anything but Christian, but here is the whole thing, what are you're thoughts on it?

I think it does a great disservice to the meaning of Christianity, blaspheming the Gospel itself by associating it with this man's fear and hatred, and calling out and appealing to the most banal sort of egotism.
Those are my thoughts anyway.

Interesting article, but this website.
 Full of hate if you take of the /sinners.htm part of it. Last edited by doppelgänger; 07-17-2007 at 11:57 AM. Reason: Removed potentially offensive web link.

It's an amoral message of threats: "Behave or else."
