Noble chit-chat
The message of ultimate inclusion:
The little princes of Christendom, brandish the cross of Christ as the seal of eternal damnation for many, when it is in fact the earnest guarantee of the Father that mercy will ultimately triumph over the judgement that, in all fairness, must come. And then, and only then, in the fullness of God's time and purpose, ALL of mankind shall be embraced in God's love - forever.
Karl Marx said, and Christopher Hitchins 'et al' believe...
" Religion is the opiate of the masses."
Which is true of dead religion, but do they recognise that:
Atheism is the opiate of them asses.
"Won't they get a crinkly mouth!?" Ian Dury
God's all-encompassing plan
"We both labor and suffer reproach because we trust in the living God who is the Saviour of all mankind, especially* those who believe."
*(that is: 'firstly' and not 'exclusively'').
1 Timothy 4:9-10.

So we must beware the leaven of both the theological and the academic clerics!
These factions actually only mirror each other from the opposing dead ends of the same fundamentalist continuum. One is considered 'religious', the other 'humanist', however in perpetuating the vanity that the ultimate fate of man-kind is dependent upon the actions and choices of men, they both reveal themselves to be 'religious humanists'! They will ever debate each other but never come to the knowledge of the truth, nor would it be in their sectarian self-interest to do so, as they need each other to antagonize and energize their own rabidly bi-polar little clubs. However, sooner or later their hearts (this side of death by the gift of faith, or on the other side of death by sight) will be seized by the transcendently all-conquering love and mercy of God through truth and liberty in Christ.
