If you were an all knowing all powerful god who supposedly loves everyone unconditionally, would you create a fiery pit and send people there for all eternity?
You don't understand. I touched my peepee. I deserve this.
I murdered 50 people. But then I found Jesus, so I'm going to heaven. This is fair.
I'm a member of an uncontacted tribe, and was going to go to heaven for being completely ignorant of Jesus, but now that you told me about him, I'm going to hell if I don't convert.
I literally murdered by son and offered my daughters to be raped by the entire town. I’m going to heaven!
Biblically accurate incel or something, idk I skipped the book to the end
Ah you missed out on god sending bears to maul children to death for mocking a man’s hair.
Yeah, I just wanted to screenshot the part where a guy claimed a woman as a prize for collecting foreskins
God never loved anyone unconditionally. My favorite Bible quote:
He very explicitly hates selfish people. VERY specifically these people, spoken by Jesus, this group of people are damned to hell. Gays, never spoken of by Jesus, btw.
Any entity who tortures their creations for eternity based solely on their performance over a ~80 year time span is not an entity worthy of worship.
Any entity that either permits or doesn't have the power to prevent suffering on earth isn't worthy of worship either.
If there is a supreme being, they've either failed or they're malevolent.
Of course! They ate shrimps!
Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried.
The fiery pit/dante's hell version doesn't actually exist in the bible. The main thing about hell is you don't experience god's love/presence, which is weird but a lot better than an eternity of torture.
If you experience god's presence please consult with your psychiatrist, I'm not joking lol
People who think God has talked to them are just people who really sure about a thought they had
That's wild. Have you tried DMT?
I'm just referring to what's in the bible, I'm agnostic. (Incidentally, I only became agnostic after reading the book of job)
What about the post right above you?
into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.God's love seems a little temperamental and reserved for some nasty people. I think I'm good on God's love.
Oh he is, but that post above is Mathew talking.
The example Id use is the book of Job. Basically Satan and God conspire to make a faithful guy's life horrible.
So why have churches been threatening their victims with hell for centuries? Could it be they all make it up as they go along?
The rest of the stuff you said isn’t in the Bible either
