Debonaire Rationale
A pressing philosophical funk that has been on my mind as of lately is
the notion of "Big Brother" vis a vis the Abrahamic "God" to those who
have never known any other faith than Christianity.
What I mean by this is simply, the idea that "God is always
watching/knows your heart/thoughts/etc." If one begins to question
their faith in Christianity, and subsequently convert to another
religion, or subscribe to a philosophical set of metaphysical ideas,
they will surely secure a place outside of God's graces. Whatever
notion of "hell" is sure to come into the picture after this.
Can anyone offer their thoughts on this? Am I misrepresenting God's
infinite mercy here?
