In a Dateline interview with NBC, a retired Episcopal bishop from Newark, N.J. said some controversial words:
“Hell is an invention of the church … The catholic church doesn’t like the people to grow up.”
John Spong probably won’t be allowed in the Catholic Church anymore once this video gets more popular, but then again, he probably doesn’t even want to. Being an atheist, I certainly respect this man’s ability to embrace his change in beliefs.
If you ask me there are too many Christian “posers” that are simply spouting what they’ve heard or read blindly. This bishop is a refreshing exception to that rule. If only more “good Christians” would think like this!
