There are no Atheists in Hell.


Once there, everyone becomes a believer.

There are no birthdays in hell, either.

If a god will send me to hell simply for not believing in him then he is not worthy of my worship and praise, and I'd be going to hell anyway for rebelling against him. So if this god of yours is real, believing in him wouldn't do me much good. If you are content to spend all eternity in heaven serving as the lap-dog to a magic fascist tyrant then that is certainly your prerogative. I'll not be blackmailed and intimidated with threats of eternal torture into following your beliefs though.

I do wonder if you see the irony of posting this on the message boards of 'Silence'; A movie where Christians are blackmailed and intimidated and ACTUALLY tortured to death for not submitting to the beliefs and desires of their tyrannical overlords. You are the Inquisitor and I am the Christian in that analogy, if it wasn't clear.

I don't believe Hell is eternal. The Bible says it is but the Bible also says Jonah was in the fish's belly or under the water for ever. For ever was just three days and three nights in that case. Let's not be too literal. Lamentations 3:31-33 is one of the places I draw inspiration from on this issue.

I'm not sure OP would agree with you, but that doesn't really change my argument all that much.

You have a very distorted view of Christianity and false reality of who Jesus is

reply

Take it up with Cunninghammer. It's his Christianity that I am responding to.

I don't think I mentioned Jesus, did I?

reply

Yes, you actually did. Jesus Christ is God, which you did in fact refer to. That is a very misguided idea of what Christianity truly is.

reply

The belief that Jesus and God are one and the same varies by denomination.

Why am I misguided? I am talking about a certain type of Christianity that many people do believe. Perhaps, to you, they are misguided, but I did not create these beliefs. All I did was say I would do in the hypothetical case that those beliefs were in fact accurate.

You think exactly like Lucifer.

Lucifer. I met him once. Very nice guy. Very misunderstood.

pwned. For eff's sake, I really can't believe it's the yr 2017 & some ppl are swallowing the rants of a 2,500 yr-old book and willingly pattern their lives in accordance to it. What are you, adults w 3-yr old children's brains?

It's not my goddamn planet. Understand, monkey boy?

^ This.

Not a Trump supporter, but certainly a Christian. He (Trump) represents Christianity in NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. It has nothing to do with God being insecure either, because He isn't insecure. He is the one eternally secure thing in existence. You have a very distorted interpretation of God and what the Bible says about Him.

reply

Have you read the old testament?

reply

there is no hell

reply

There is as much evidence for Hell as there is for the God of Cunning Hammer

Here is my evidence for the God of Cunning Hammer

"there was a God of Cunning Hammer"

You sad, sad little man.

Out of curiosity, do you also believe in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus?

I'm curious, if Satan tortures and punishes those who have sinned in hell, isn't he sort of a good guy doing the lord's work? Why would he punish those who align with his values???

I mean if he is so evil, logically satan would band everyone together to overthrow heaven. Especially considering that Christians think they are the only ones who can get in. Y'all are out numbered if satan decides to militarize.

Not all Christians believe that.
