4. I enjoyed this, maybe because I'm all sorts of heretic.

Evolution? Check. Trained as an evolutionary/environmental biologist.

Hell is only temporary? Oh no, far worse that that. Bad people have to live with all the good souls they tried to crush forever. Being thrown into a fiery pit would be mercy compared to that.

That all good people are saved? Yes. Good dogs and horses too. Maybe even a few cats. (Don't feel sad for the cats. They tend to be more interested in reincarnation. Preferably as a tiger.)

That the atonement is not about God’s wrath being poured out on Jesus in our place? Yes.

That Scripture is errant? No, it's metaphor and garbled human language, as all human languages are. And sometimes the person holding the pen was and asshole. You want the greater certainty of math and physics? You'd better go study math and physics.
