    🎵 When I was a young man, the Romans
    Took me up to Golgotha, to be a martyred man
    I said, “Son, when you grow up, would you be
    The savior of the poor, sick, the homeless, and the damned?” 🎵

    “I saved you from being sent to hell.”

    “Wait, who was going to send me to hell?”

    “I was”

    “…”

    “Praise and worship pls, I suffered a lot for this.”

      Depending on the interpretation the “I was” should be “yourself”.

      As God is the source of all life and good, choosing to turn away from Him means hell is self-inflicted.

        I mean, that doesn’t really fix it if you have an actually omnipotent diety though, because that diety would be responsible for, well, everything, to include what the results of rejecting that diety would be.

        If this is what god said, then it’s like Jeff Bezos running ads saying he’s a good guy.

        Isaiah 45:7 : I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things,"

        God made the evil.

        Even if he wasn’t made up, the god character from the Christian Bible is the most evil, fucked up, bastards in all of fiction. As if murdering the entire planet (minus a hand full of people) wasn’t enough, he then demanded the rape of countless women due to the actions of their fathers and/or husbands. So don’t go around talking about your imaginary friend being this shining moral beacon. Your moral system and foundation of logic is built upon circular reasoning created by a bunch of nomadic biggots jealous of everyone around them.

        I pray to Russell’s Teapot you actually read this response, think long and hard about it, and don’t just get caught up with “erm akshully they were Nephilim”

    Remember, the concept of hell doesn’t exist anywhere in Jewish or Christian scripture. It’s a much later Hellenist addition.

      False to the rich when inconvenient, yes, even as they wrap themselves in the mantle of it for public appearance.

    The whole thing about Jesus saving us by suffering and dying… If god was all powerful, he could have saved us without all the suffering part. Since he had to suffer, there are rules that god must adhere to. If god has to obey rules, then he is not all powerful.

      …wat? It’s not because there’s rules (he very well could have simply snapped his fingers), it’s because he wanted to demonstrate to us how much he loved us. It has to do with the whole “he is the embodiment of both perfect love and perfect justice” thing.
