My parents are practicing (my mother, at least) christians and believe neither in a heaven nor a hell. |

heaven and hell is an essential part to christianity though. if one picks and chooses which bits they want to believe in then they are effectively creating their own religion. |

things change over time. heaven and hell aren't an essential part of christianity. they're an essential part of catholicism, though. But for the successful efforts of unbelievers in the past, I could not take so elastic a definition of Christianity as that. As I said before, in olden days it had a much more full-blooded sense. For instance, it included he belief in hell. Belief in eternal hell-fire was an essential item of Christian belief until pretty recent times. In this country, as you know, it ceased to be an essential item because of a decision of the Privy Council, and from that decision the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York dissented; but in this country our religion is settled by Act of Parliament, and therefore the Privy Council was able to override their Graces and hell was no longer necessary to a Christian. I think that's a fairly decent jusitification for him to refuse to insist that a Christian must believe in hell. No doubt it's stuff that you, as an Englishman just into University, should know. And, in any event, what he does by not expanding the criteria of "Christian person" to include an imperative that they believe in hell, is to factor more people into the set of "christian".. It's making the term less specific, and hence his argument more difficult to prove. |
