    Jesus Christ. Lived the life we should have lived and died the death that we deserve. Just so we can go and live with Him. No love is greater than that.

      What’s the emoji for a wanking hand gesture?

      Jehovah is a Lovecraftian monster with strong PR. Eternal torture for everyone who dared to be born is an indefensible concept that you glibly praise. As if the opportunity to kiss up to the entity threatening to shred your soul, forever, is some great gift, and not a grotesque exaggeration of every human dictator demanding limitless praise.

      If you had infinite power to reshape the universe, and that universe still included hell, you would have to be some kind of asshole. Nevermind that the threat of torturing the average person, for any length of time, is horrific beyond consideration. Even if you said it only applied to the Hitlers of the world, the folks who did incomprehensible evil - why the fuck does your universe include incomprehensible evil?

      And your apologia is to blame the powerless ants. Disgusting.

      I find it problematic that you say it’s a death we deserve. God is all like, “worship me or be tortured forever!” That’s kinda toxic to be honest, and doesn’t sound like love to me.

        We chose hell. Hell was made for satan and his angels. Heaven is prepared for us. And whether we don’t like something or not doesn’t dictate it’s truth. I don’t like Trump but he still exists.

          Um, speak for yourself, I didn’t choose anything.

          However, you dodged my point. Do you honestly think a “loving God” should torture his creations for eternity for not worshipping him? That doesn’t sound evil to you? Also, are the people from other cultures that were around before Christianity in hell?

            It’s not for not worshipping Him. It’s for turning against Him.

              Yeah ok sure, either way it still sounds petty to me.

              Also, you can just say you don’t know the answers to my questions it’s fine, I’m not really surprised.

          They would not admit that objectively Jesus and christianity is one the key factors of success of the west, and you dont even need to be a believer in God or a god to admit it.

            I too love to just make wildly unsupported assertions and then put the word “objectively” in front of them.
