Welcome to Gaia! ::

I would feel vindicated in my belief that the Christian idea of a God is a complete d**k.

What if you died today (not believeing in god) and god sent you to hell , how would you react (keep in mind that hell is a place where maggots are treated better than humans) ???


To my understanding Hell is less of a place and more of an eternal destruction! A very painful, agonizing, yet instant destruction. Not much to think about.

You can read the bible, prey, and go to church but still be destroyed in hell. You must have your walk with god and obey him. And in my experience church usually gets in the way of the walk with god, unlike the bible.
How about this: you pray,read the bible and go to church every day.

But then you die, and it turns out there is no god?

You know what that means? You've wasted an hour of your life every bloody Sunday for no reason.

I'd be happier because that's where my ancestors are. And that's where all the intelligent people of the past are. :3

Some people think that hell is not a bad place to be but until you go there you will never know
Actually. Praying, Reading the Bible and going to church takes time, effort and money. All of which I don't like spending. I could read Interview With The Vampire for the 10th time instead of reading the Bible. At least IWTV is more interesting and won't put me to sleep. :3

Also you can still do those things and go to hell. :3
Besides, all the cool people and my favourite rock bands are going to be in Hell. It'll be an awesome heavy metal voilence fest for all eternity! DUDE THAT WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

Hmm? What? Oh, sorry, but I may have my own beliefs! Atheist is literally "one without a god", so since my belief system doesn't contain a god, I'm subject to the whims of YOURS? Screw that, man. I tried Christianity for a while.

I've tried (and am going to examine) a lot of religions. I've been a Protestant, I've looked into Baha'i, and I've got most of the others on a waiting list. Not so that I can join them, but so tht I can use them to enhance the religious identity I've developed for myself.

I couldn't take their religions, so I made up my own. For me. And if your god still holds authority there, then I've made a serious mistake. However, even if that's true, and you're right, Then I'll march into Hell with my head held high in defiance of all the evil unholy s**t that the Christian god stands for.


Are you tired of God or his "Followers"?
God is more than any mere human can ever understand. Just because one faith tells you that they believe in the one true God, does not mean that they understand him. There was only one man who understood him and we nailed him up on a board! As long as you remain faithful to God himself in your search, you will reside in ever lasting bliss of the afterlife.
So I say, may the God of all things bless your search.

Even if you're still faithful you can still mess up and go to hell. Ah the fallible human race. How much I despise it. :3
1) i would react as so:

"huh... so there is a hell. i guess there's heaven too. so where's the nearest In-n-Out from here?"

2) i'll take my chances, enjoy my badass lifestyle, and rot in the ground when i die
And are you really saying that the 67% of people who ARENT christian go to hell?

Dont worship god, that just encourages him D:<

And a lot of the Christians too.

It's elitism at its "finest" and as a Commie, that pisses me off more than many of the people themselves do.
This is just a rehash of Pascal's Wager. There is no proof that hell exists, so why should I worry about it? Even if there is a god, what makes you sure that it is the christian one.?
Why do you believe heaven and hell are the only two choices? If I was god, I would be angry that some believed in me only to go to heaven?

Come up with something more interesting next time

The bible its self states that many Christians will not enter heaven.
It also states that there is a place in heaven for the peace makers.

To Skinnypurtorican:: God don't damn people to hell!!! He's a loving God and knows people don't know what religion is right. He would most likely do something about this world. ALSO... Christians confuse the hell out of me. If God made the earth in his image, perfect at first and wanted us to be fruitful and be happy, why the heck would he make a place we will burn forever in eternity if he wanted us to be happy? Makes no sense!!!! And why would he only take 144,000 to heaven and there are gazillions of people on earth? Come on boy... you have to think


Um i believe you are talking about a chapter in Revelation
god says when the apocalypse happens that he will be taking all the people from 14 tribes(tribes that followed and believed in him back in biblical times)
and put a seal on them which means they are saved then he will take people from earth and
if their name is written in the book of life he will put a seal on them also
ill give you the chapter also (but i have a different version of bible so it may be different)
Revelation 14

And he didnt make hell
actually it doesnt say who did
but i know he did make the heavens and the earth
We were also perfect at first but if you ever heard the story where the snake tricks eve into
eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge and good and evil
Well when she ate from it and gave some to adam they both becomed smarter
and that is why we sin today
if god is real its just as likely that he doesn't agree with Christians and is all right with atheists as vice versa.... you're quite wrong... If god is a supreme being then human logic may or may not ever agree with what he believes.... That being said any logic may be acceptable, or not depending on what god actually is and the bible is to contradiction filled and manipulated by idiots, to be reliable to me... so i'll ask you... would you rather be true to yourself for a brief or complete part of your existence or would you rather live a lie for all eternity... I choose the truth, so do as you wish...
