Reverend Tom Tate said he's always looking for a good message for the church sign, unless it is needed to advertise a church event.

But this week?s message has exponentially exceeded any other in response.

?It has touched a reservoir for people in a way that is very surprising for me,? Mr. Tate said.
Yeah, he prefers them so much that the hateful Christians will still get into Heaven but the kind atheists will still go to Hell?

I appreciate the sentiment, but this kind of bending-over-backward hermeneutics to make Christianity seem more welcoming seems to contradict the entire salvation gospel which is what Protestant Christianity kind of hinges on.
