Threatening people with torture, very Christian

My thinking is, if the Christian God does exist, then based on his own scripture he's a heinous war criminal who isn't WORTHY of my respect.

If you are a Christian, you should be absolutely horrified by the reality of God's coming judgement, since most major denominations of Christianity do not allow for salvation for any other. There are 40,000 denominations (slightly less). It's highly unlikely yours is the right one.

There are a few exceptions. The Holy See recognizes the Orthodoxies, but not Protestants.

And Universalists offer salvation to everyone, even if they're not Christian.

(If God was judging us, They might have given us clear instructions.)

My reasoning is, that if God exists and is just like Christians claim, then it is enough that I live like a good person. If he is petty and judges me for the fact that I don't worshop him, then I wouldn't want to worship him anyway and fuck him.

My thinking is, why is everyone starting their comments like this?

My thinking on the matter is this:

If God exists, he would be more pissed at me for lying and taking his name in vain, rather than being honest about it and say that the evidence available to the normal man doesn't convince me he existed.

Why is it that for the last two thousand years every single radical religious group has believed that the apocalypse is imminent? It's as if they were actually bad people and only the fear of imminent punishment keeps them civilized.

the rapture - but this time for realsies! ™️

Surprised to see no one here thinking: modern American Christians are the ones that better hope God isn’t real. By his own words, he will cast out these two faced “believers” that praise him with their words but defy his teachings with their actions. They all think they have fire insurance in their back pocket by being baptized and publicly declaring they accept Jesus. But, as a testament to their ignorance of their own religion, they fail to read Jesus’ actual words saying that isn’t enough.

Hahahahahaha don't hurt me sky daddy

Omfg laughing so hard

Is Santa gonna come get me too? And the tooth fairy

Hahahahaha

Lol, I'm horrified so many people still believe this dualistic, supernatural hocus pocus. If you study the history it's obvious men made up all the supernatural stuff to control people easier than just force. It came about when groups got larger and wealth inequality took over. The men wanted to keep their benefits and power and made up one version after another, each with a more fantastic story to really impress people!

Real truth does set you free from all that unhealthy baggage and truth withstands scrutiny, unlike the unfalsifiable stories they demand belief, like Sagan's invisible dragon story. It's a system that made up a problem for them to solve, and people don't see that. The NT was written to match the OT. The namesake said we can transcend here and now, as conscious stardust, not some magic realm later, be woke now. Peace!

Telling someome who isn't Christian to fear God and his divine wrath is no different from someone who practices Hinduism telling a non-Hindu person they're gonna reincarnate as a lowly worm. Or a devout Muslim telling a non-Muslim person they're going to Hell for eating pork.

It really doesn't do much for anyone other than make you look like an asshole.

Heads up, everyone. I just got off the phone with Ba'al and he is pissed!

Religious people like being watched and punished.

“reality”

That's like a child telling me Santa's not coming this year.

Why are you giving this dumbass a voice?

I'm baptised, atheist and can confidently say that I'm a better person than most Christians in the USA. After all, if they didn't agree with what is being done in their name, they wouldn't support it.

christofascists making bioweapons or dirty bombs or some shit, wants to murder millions, but it's not their genocidal fantasies - it's GOD.

sure bud.

And he will separate the sheep from the goats.

To one side he will place those who fed the poor and housed the homeless and healed the sick and visited those in prison.

And to the other side he will place those who did not do those things.

And to those who ministered unto the poor, the sick, the unhoused, and the imprisoned, he will say "Welcome home. My kingdom is yours."

And they will ask "Lord, Lord! When did we see you and minister unto you?"

And he will tell them "That which you have done for the least of these, my brethren and sistren and siblens, you have done for me."

And to those who did not minister unto the poor, the sick, the unhoused, and the imprisoned, he will say "Depart from me, for I never knew you."

And they will cry "Lord, Lord! When did we see you and not minister unto you?"

And he will say "That which you have not done for these, my brethren and sistren and siblens, you have not done for me."

And he will banish them into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Why should I be afraid? Isn't he like really merciful and stuff?

reads bible

Oh

God can eat my ass

The righteous badass power people try to project into their keystrokes just doesn't come out of the screen.

No noes! Alduin will end us all! HA

Shiver me timbers, the God that doesn't bother preventing rape and genocide may lift a finger against me. Must mean I'm a good guy.

But if you are a Christian, God might come and randomly tell you to murder your child or randomly rape you wife and you shall be fully accepting of that reality.

what a stupid god

I'm far more afraid of nutjobs like that bringing a gun to my kid's school because they heard the voice of god or whatever, or justifying the bombing of a school full of little girls because "whoops, wrong god," or deciding an entire planet full of people is done living because your ancient fanfic told you it was a good idea to kill the people you disagree with after you're done beating your slaves properly.

Organized religion has proven to be the single most devastating invention the human race has ever come up with. It genuinely needs to die.

Idk if god isn’t some morally bankrupt joke and actually thought about my life, I think I’d be ok, I volunteer regularly, I give to charity, I like to do random acts of kindness, I’m always ready to lend a hand or a shoulder to cry on. I believe very strongly in the power of community and I’m a lot more culturally christian than most believers I know, I like all the love your neighbor stuff, do unto others, what we do to the least of us… I feed the hungry, I give drink to the thirsty, I welcome the stranger, I clothe the naked, the only one I don’t do is visit those in prison. If god is a good and moral being, I’ll be ok and if it turns out they don’t exist, well I’ll have lived a good life

God should be afraid of me, as I name it quite frequently when I swear (and never in a positive way). It's a sad thing it doesn't exist, because I'm pretty sure if it did actually exist, so many of these so-called christians would be going to hell way faster than I am; after all, I don't need the fear of a divine punishment to understand that raping kids is an awful thing that should be punished.

I would have thought he was feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and visiting the imprisoned 24/7 and would be too busy to post online.

The shear lack of cognitive empathy here is mind blowing. They cannot fathom a world in which they might be wrong. I mean there’s faith and then there is this. I have faith the sun will rise tomorrow, but I can imagine a scenario, however contrived, where that doesn’t happen.

Why would I be afraid of the Abrahamic God's judgement when I know that wily Odin is forever forestalling Ragnarok?

I saw this thing once where a christian group had done an experiment where they interviewed people and they found that "people who said they didn't believe in god felt uneasy when saying it" and used that to conclude that they were afraid of gods judgement. No you fucking idiots. They're uneasy about YOU!!!

I'm afraid of his current world

And what about all the other religions out there? What a western-centric veiw.

Pff, you wish, loser, my sky dad can definitely beat yours up. Pussy ass bitch sends angels to do all his murders anyways.

I believe it as much as I believe "regional management is in the area so be ready for a visit." Believe it when I see it.
