Does hell exist's the church and the bible teach's that it does.But suppose you say the bible is false then you will have,to prove me why the bible is wrong.


It doesn't work that way.  The assignment of the burden of proof doesn't go to the first person who brings it up.  It actually goes to the person making the positive claim.  A person who doesn't accept the bible as the really special word of god isn't making any claim.  He is simply rejecting your silly notion.

Sorry friend,but God remember's everything you say and he knows what your going to say next.God WILL take them personal if you will not repent.


Your concept of God reminds me a lot of J. Edgar Hoover.  Long memory and judgmental as hell.

Man, I've been trying to figure that out. "God is not mocked!" is one of the favorite expressions of the people from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas (literally half a mile up the street where my office was located, when I was a field biologist), and I've been trying to figure out for years what it meant. 

If you don't know, WBC are the "God Hates Fags!" protesters that show up everywhere with signs and chanted slogans.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

What reason do you have for believing that the bible is true?

A sin is crime against God. So why does God need you to go to church? How does he benefit from it?

This is the same god giving you freedom yes?

People have killed so many in the name of religion that I'm not sure how anyone can say the church never killed anyone with a straight face.

Oh right, I've got no free will then. I only repent if he decides before hand I was going to repent. I'm just a puppet for his weird theater.

Why is god such a glass jaw? I'm a softie, but even I'm not so easily upset as god.

God's a cock. He knew I would say that, so he was responsible for me saying it as I had no choice. He is one weird dude. Calling himself a cock through a flesh puppet.

This still doesn't explain how he is "not mocked". I just mocked him right? He is so mocked.

Believer, it's your job to convince us that the bible is true. Why don't you try that? Try to convince us why the bible is true.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
