Sending someone #deaththreats is ever okay. However, I also believe that telling someone that they deserve #god 's wrath and that they will experience #eternal #torture by said god just for existing, I think that is also a kind of death threat. If nothing else it's a form of #dehumanization. But this is just how most #Christians talk to and about the #LGBT community. How can we have productive dialogue when one side believes the other side to be subhuman and wholly worthy of eternal #damnation?

A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

CHORUS: Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight,
   And burnèd is Apollo’s laurel bough,
   That sometime grew within this learnèd man.
   Faustus is gone. Regard his hellish fall,
   Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise
   Only to wonder at unlawful things,
   Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits,
   To practise more than heavenly power permits.

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Epilogue (1594; 1604 “A” text)

A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

FAUSTUS: No, Faustus, curse thyself, curse Lucifer,
   That hath deprived thee of the joys of heaven.
      (The clock striketh twelve.)
   O, it strikes, it strikes! Now, body, turn to air,
   Or Lucifer will bear thee quick to hell.
      (Thunder and lightning.)
   O soul, be changed into little water drops,
   And fall into the ocean, ne’er be found!
   My God, my God, look not so fierce on me!
      (Enter Devils.)
   Adders, and serpents, let me breathe a while!
   Ugly hell, gape not. Come not Lucifer!
   I’ll burn my books! Ah, Mephistophilis!
      (Exeunt Devils with Faustus.)

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 5, sc. 2 (sc. 19), l. 1498ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)

A quotation from Kit Marlowe

FAUSTUS. Ah, Faustus,
   Now hast thou but one bare hour to live,
   And then thou must be damn’d perpetually!
   Stand still, you ever-moving Spheres of Heaven,
   That time may cease, and midnight never come;
   Fair Nature’s eye, rise, rise again, and make
   Perpetual day; or let this hour be but
   A year, a month, a week, a natural day,
   That Faustus may repent and save his soul!

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 5, sc. 2 (sc. 14), l. 1451ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

The doctrine of eternal pain is my trouble with this Christian religion. I reject it on account of its infinite heartlessness.

A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

FAUSTUS: Si peccasse negamus, fallimur, et nulla est in nobis veritas;
   “If we say that we have no sin,
   We deceive ourselves, and there’s no truth in us.”
   Why, then, belike we must sin,
   And so consequently die.
   Ay, we must die an everlasting death.

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 1, sc. 1 (sc. 1), l. 70ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

We are told “God so loved the world” that he is going to damn almost everybody. If this orthodox religion be true, some of the greatest, and grandest, and best who ever lived are suffering God’s torments to-night. It does not appear to make much difference with the members of the church. They go right on enjoying themselves about as well as ever. If this doctrine is true, Benjamin Franklin, one of the wisest and best of men, who did so much to give us here a free government, is suffering the tyranny of God to-night, although he endeavored to establish freedom among men. If the churches were honest, their preachers would tell their hearers: “Benjamin Franklin is in hell, and we warn all the youth not to imitate Benjamin Franklin. Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, with its self-evident truths, has been damned these many years.”
