Ok... Friendly all knowing alien needs to come into play here...
and he will continue to try and do so till he is chained in Hell, which is directly beneath us. He knows he's going to go down there anyways,"so why not bring a few of those muddy basterds along"
Indeed he will, cause God gave him the power to try. You weak minded humans just follow along, like lambs to the slaughter.
Provide evidence that either one exists, and then we can discuss which made man 'stupid'.
Neither did actually. Sin did. Sin overcame mans weak mind and played around a bit untill you get what you have today. A humorous, yet evil, race of barbarians.
No. I just refuse to believe in a god that created us for no reason, just to damn us to eternal suffering for no reason.
He didnt create you to suffer. He created you to serve him. Like any ruler does, he wants his subjects to serve him. Sheesh, humans have some nerve acussing their creator like that.
No. I just refuse to believe in a god that created us for no reason, just to damn us to eternal suffering for no reason.
it's to clean the shit that's in our brains. nobody in paradise has shit in his or her brain. it has to be cleaned out either here or in Hell.[/quote]
Couldnt have said it better myself. *smiles*
Not to mention, the idea of a sentient yet omnipresent, invisible, and intangible being is ridiculous, at best.
Isnt that what gravity is? *snickers*
Those are all material rewards. What can God offer us as a reward that we don't already have?
The ability to live forever? I mean really, you earth dwellers and your animals are the only beings in the universe without that ability. Surely you would want it back? *snickers again*
Surely if Hell exists, God cannot possibly be Omnibenevolent, or even "nice" at all. A find it hard to believe that someone could willingly comdemn someone to eternal suffering. Surely if it was in your power you would give everyone paradise.
And if God isnt omnibenevolent, then you're worshipping a God who is basically a bit of an ass.
Its common sence only the worthy would be granted access to enternity... Sheesh you are a lesser one arent you?
Again, Eternity is a long time. Also, once you understand what's going on, I can't imagine it would be too much worse than watching a horror movie.
That's why "eternal damnation" is so ridiculous. People who are truly evil won't gain a thing from the torture, and people who learn their lesson quickly are stuck there forever. There's not much point in it.
Catholics made up that term. Eternal damnation. There is not a single paragraph in your bible that meantions such a thing. Damnible catholics. The evil die during the thousand years in heaven, before the return to purified earth. Earth and the 'evil' ones, along with that bitch of a demon will be destroyed with fire and brimstone and then the holy ones will return and manifest on the land once more. There is no eternal torture or some such rubbish. Honestly...
Theres a good quote i heard (i think on this forum, but i may be wrong)
"A Person is intelligent, people are stupid"
I herd that quote on the movie 'Men In Black' personally. Thats a good movie. *smiles*
Hooly Jaheebies. This is a long post. I'll shut up now. Again, your friendly neighborhood alien here, pointing you talae to the truth!
