Welcome to Gaia! ::

i definatly think that its worth it to pray read the bible and worship god i mean he deserves it he did create us after all and he can do whatever he wants with us if he wanted to he could just make us alllive in hell and laugh atour pain we should worship him to thank him for giving us the choice of heaven and not go to hell but if you do it out of fear then it dosnt really count and you will go to hell

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) ???
I wouldn't give a s**t. I died for my beliefs. Also, if I'm going to hell for not following a god who's injust, immoral, and all around just not worthy? I wouldn't mind.


So if you tripped down the stairs, hit your head, and died then that was a death for your beliefs?

Well, death was being used here to refer in a metaphorical sense to being sent to Hell.

The person is saying that they don't care if God is real(and so they must have other objections to YHWH than simply the lack of evidence for his existence, at least if they want their position to make logical sense). They would stick to their current beliefs, and get punished for it.


What an odd sense to use it in IMO.

I really do wonder what this person thinks they know to give them such strong faith in their beliefs.

You know what I think?


Obviously unless we've spoken to you we don't.

Quote:

I think Hell doesn't exist, so therefore I'm not going there.


That doesn't follow. If I say "I think prison doesn't exist, so therefore I'm not going there" that won't help me a bit.

Quote:

But hey, if God wants to send me to Hell just because I didn't give him verbal love poems, then he needs to get some issues worked out.


What makes you think it's about verbal love poems and not undesirable qualities about yourself?

Quote:

I'm not changing who I am so that I can go to some place with a bunch of people I don't like for eternity.


Changing your beliefs is changing who you are? Then be wary of actually learning something.
You just make up concepts like Hell since you are a human from a planet disconnected from the rest of the universe and have no real knowledge of anything related to the supernatural. I know that when I die, I will simply be absorbed into the Spirit Stream to be reborn again. I hope you are reborn as a cockroach. It would be far more fitting.

Not in my opinion. I think it is a fair use if death. People seem to see it as similar, as they often think of both Hell and death as an unpleasant things that are eternal.

Well, the top reason I can think of is that they think YHWH is immoral and so should not be supported, which isn't really much different to dying for your beliefs because you believe God is real and the absolute moral authority.

Since when did fiction become a reliable source?
My thoughts exactly! When DID the Christian Bible become a reliable source?

and another question

Wouldnt it be easier to pray,read the bible, and go to church (which doesnt take
that much time) , rather than spend an eternity in hell ???

Some people think that hell is not a bad place to be but until you go there you will never know


Does the Bible say that God "sends us to hell?" If so, please cite?

I'm not a Christian, but I went to a Christan high school and I was forced to study Christianity.
Just going through the motions wont get you to heaven. You have to really believe.
What Christan believes hell inst bad?

Possibly nothing in the entire Bible has or ever will be "proved wrong" if we take into account he various genre in the bible including mythos, allegory and poetry.

There are a number of people who think of "hell" as being the place where the interesting people "go." Billy Joel wrote the lyric, "I would rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints" as an example of this philosophy of "hell."

Mormons do not believe in "hell" although they do believe in something worse, I suppose: outer darkness where a rebellious soul is sent to live in loneliness and isolation for eternity.

Christianity in a nutshell: Don't believe in Jesus you go to hell.
You could say you send yourself, if you refuse the believe in a religion that can't be logically supported.

From communing with it in my deep meditations. It required attaining a state of enlightenment you inferior humans could never hope to reach in your pitiful little lifespans.

It is something that requires centuries of training and must be felt on a truly spiritual level. I couldn't explain it to a human. And yes, I happen to be a demon with centuries of wisdom under his belt.
