And more importantly, individuals who don’t accept Christ or who reject him won’t be saved. In this understanding it’s hard for me to see what ex...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
Paul Graham: The most extreme of the things you can't say would be very shocking to most readers. If you doubt that, imagine what people in 1830 would think of our default educated east coast beliefs about, say, premarital sex, homosexuality, or the literal truth of the Bible. We would seem depraved...
