[Bell] began to feel that he could no longer share the standard evangelical messages that he had been preaching—about salvation and damnation and the infallible scripture—in good conscience. So he modified his approach, avoiding some topics and opening others to skepticism, and changing how the church was run. . . . in 2011, when Bell published a book called "Love Wins." The book called into question the idea of a punitive, horrific, eternal Hell where God sends nonbelievers.

Yet another "feel good Christianity" church where everyone gets along, God doesn't care what you do or who you do it to and everyone goes to Heaven. Take a look at most "Mainline" Protestant churches to see where this philosophy ends up.

As a recovered Catholic, I say that .gif of the giant hole where everyone is jumping in is also an accurate depiction of the Catholic Cult. Satan’s greatest work of deception. Even more so than Islam.

Everybody gets a trophy - not so much. There is real evil and evil people in the world. Not sure what Mr. Bell would do with boyfriends who torture and murder little kids. Maybe they go to a slightly warm place, above tropical, but not by much. Wolf in sheeps clothing.
