Thing is, if hell was actually a real place, I wouldn't want to go there. If Christianity was actually true and not man-made, and the bible was actually written by "God," then I would choose of heaven.

Unfortunately, logic and insight say different.

You don't choose where you go, only God chooses where you go.
And, you keep saying "if this is true" and "if that is not true", but, without the Bible, you'd never really know for sure until AFTER you were dead. By then it would be too late.
Why would you take such a huge risk with your soul?

Son, "logic" and "insight" are demon-laden words, invented by Satan himself. Wash away your logic, wash your brain with the blood of CHRIST: your brain will be cleansed, empty, reborn -- the perfect sponge, soaking up faith. Glory!

Re: This forum makes me fear for humanity...

I refuse to worship a God who sends his creations to hell just for not believing in him. God put us on this planet with no indication of where we came from or why we are here.

I find it pretty amazing that a person like Carl Sagan is in hell, but idiots like the WBC are going to heaven.

Fear creates some pretty nasty people and concepts.

You people worship God to avoid hell, because you're scared of it.

I don't hate you for it. I just know that the less amount of that type of thinking, the better off humanity and Earth will be.

Re: This forum makes me fear for humanity...

No, I am not living in denial and fear. The difference between me and you is that I do not actually fear the unknown, which in humanities case, is way too much for us to comprehend.

I have been clinically dead twice, so my "unknown fear" bit has already been explored. Been there and done that...twice

You offer a very terrible explanation of why we are here. Religion leaves no room for pondering or free thinking. The sad thing is, I've seen a lot of christians who would be great thinkers and human beings if they WEREN'T christian. It's sad what religion does.

I don't think so. (and by the way, I am merely presuming your post was aimed at me due to the content of the reply..perhaps next time if you are addressing someone specifically, you could add their name to your salutation)

It seems that you are of the opinion that Christians are pretty much simpletons at worst, or ironically, not using the intelligence that God gave them. This is not the case at all and in fact, some of the greatest minds throughout history, whether in arts, science et al.. have been Christians.

You may also be surprised at just how much thinking goes into the decision to live ones life by God's standards. It is no easy feat and in fact the only fear that ever came into my personal decision to do so, was fearing I would miss all the less than Godly things I would have to give up.

Perhaps that's where YOUR problem is. Too scared to give up what you "know".

Of course they are. And all the great human minds that have been documented in history were all possessed by demons. LOL. I think God's the evil one, not Satan.

Also, there are SOME true Christians. The types that actually try to be like Christ, not some pompous self absorbed brainwashing priest.

Bob Marley is more "christlike" than everyone on this forum.

So true. Before I made the decision to give my life to God, I was so confused and scared, but once I made the decision, I felt so relieved and at peace.
I just pray that everyone could feel that way.

Bob Marley was a dope smoking hippy who did not care about anyone or the Lord.

Oh my, I'm afraid you have us confused with catholics.
No wonder you've turned your back on Jesus, you've been fed lies and deceit from the "mother" church.
LBC only preaches the Truth(c). You don't have to be scared anymore. Just tell the good pastors here all about the abuse. It's okay.

I appreciate that, but it's not the catholic church that did. While it may not look like it, I hold no ill feelings towards religious people. Hating does no good.

It just scary to see what fear and brainwashing does to people.

People who are brainwashed don't choose to be brainwashed. It's outta their control.
But everyone here (other than the trolls and Godmockers) chose to accept Jesus and we choose to worship God and to follow the Bible everyday.
And we don't "hate" other religions, we fear for their souls and well-being.
Please, don't just reject God all together just because some so-called churches give Him a bad name.

Re: This forum makes me fear for humanity...

Every church gives him a bad name by saying that all non-believers are going to hell.

What kind of cruel and unusual punishment is that? For thinking logical people get to burn forever?

God must not be God if he can't understand why people could believe in him.

Re: This forum makes me fear for humanity...

And every government in the world also has punishment (some even the death penalty) for breaking even SECULAR RULES.

How is it cruel and unusual punishment and if YOU have no fear, why does the thought if it bother you so much?

God must not be God if he can't understand why people could believe in him.

God CAN understand why people do and could believe in Him. Gosh... your above comment would have to be the silliest I have ever seen!

BTW make that intro.... NOW.

If you read your Bible you will understand

Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

Who said thinking, logical people are going to hell? There have been many great thinkers who were Christians and many books and paintings have been inspired by the Bible.
Heck, even the early Superman comics were inspired by the Moses story. (baby sent away in a rocket/cradle to escape death, discovered and raised by another family, discovers who/what he actually was and decides to use his powers to save humanity, etc..)

Re: This forum makes me fear for humanity...

I'm afraid not, friend. According to the Bible, we will live in Paradise forever while you and 99.9% of the population will burn in hell.

Okey, i'm gonna try to imagine how you think, what you do, how you live,...

Okey, i'm ready, hell must be great, pornstars, dope, good music, barfights, beer,... yeaah i'd love that.

No seriously, listen to SLAYER mawfakka, mwuhahahaha.
