Craigs work has strengthened me as a Christian

Eleonore Stump's Atonement account is the most impressive and deep in the literature. Dr. Craig should accept this.

Analytic Philosophy is just a marketing term. If by Analytic philosophy you mean philosophy that is careful with choosing its words and has logical rigor, thats pretty much all philosophy.

So much nonsense going on in everyone else's screen I had to do audio only. Did that dude crash his car and disconnect? Why is that guy waving a pencil. Who are the people who keep hopping in and out? Why did that guy make weird stone faces?

Dearest Dr Craig I don't think it is truly merciful and fair that God gives the option of either Eternity with him or Eternal torture and Damnation in hell. When the alternative is to suffer for eternity of course you are going to do your best not to suffer and to try to get into eternity with God by accepting Jesus Christ. However I would imagine that there are people such as survivors of the Holocaust, people who are related to someone that perished in the 9/11 tragedy that if given the choice would choose to be annihilated, preferring to exist no more after this life instead of having to spend an eternity with the Creator. So I think if he was truly merciful he would give people the choice to either spend eternity with him or simply be annihilated because Eternal suffering and hell kind of forces our hand to choose the better of the two. But again there are people who are not necessarily evil and bad people but they would rather just be annihilated if they had the option!
