Prove it!

What? You can't? Oh, well then - Satan must be as powerful as god.

Hail Satan!

RE: What the bible says Hell is like
More likely, Satan is God. It requires far less assumptions.

The good god was cast out for standing up to the tyrant, and was forever made a scapegoat by the evil God. The good God (known as Satan to us) does what he can to oppose the evil God, but he isn't as powerful.

It explains everything much better, right? Problem of evil, solved.

No - of course not. People who want to take our money and f*** our children without consequences threaten us with hell.

No, he doesn't. He doesn't exist.

Speak for yourself. I haven't sinned.

No - it has to do with fantasies of revenge, created in order to placate weak people, being exploited and abused
by the cynical authorities.

It's a blank check for justice, that's inevitably going to bounce.

oh you haven't sinned? so then you'll go to heaven, no problem. sorry for the misunderstanding!

That's nice, dear. Except - there is no heaven either. It's all just a story someone told you when you were very little, so that you wouldn't touch yourself, like a little monkey... It might have even worked for a few years...

Even as a 'sinner' I am destined to be sentenced to heaven.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

God is saying, essentially: "I love you more than you can imagine. I want you to love me, too. You have free will to choose to accept my love and love me in return, or to reject my offer. Oh, and if you reject my offer I'm going to drop you into a pit of burning sulfur."

That is a rapist and psychopath.

I don't prefer torture; I prefer defiance to submission in the face of a violent threat.

God does not threaten us with hell, He saves us from it!
Hell is there because we sinned. It has to do with justice.

Nope!

He created everything, including the concept of sin (as disobedience to God). 

If we do not obey, then we are sent (or allowed to go to) this place that God created specifically for those who defy God.

The solution to not being sent there is to "accept" the "love" of God and submit.

That. Is. A. Rapist.

The notion that it is "justice" for a powerful being to create a torture chamber for people who will not obey the "revelations" claimed to have been made to a desert tribe of Bronze Age sheepherders, and send anyone who refuses to submit to that ruleset there, is not only laughable, it's just plain nuts. Especially since some of the other "revelations" include justifications for slavery, genocide, and women as property of men, concepts I find morally repugnant.

I also find the concept of "submit or be tortured" morally repugnant. Why not a system which rewards the faithful but allows nonbelievers to just die like the other animals, as we atheists already think we do? It is the threat of hell that makes God into a rapist. A non-rapist says, "I love you and want you to love me, but if you don't that's okay too. Have a nice life."
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.

But according to your own holy book Satan killed far fewer people than the central figure of your mythology.
Dying to live, living to die.

No. I worship the One who is totally awesome, and cool, and has all the best tunes.

I hate the one who's a lame little b**ch, that offers nothing more than empty promises and threats.

whoever told you you had to submit or obey God to receive eternal life lied to you. its the exact opposite. For by grace are ye saved through faith in Jesus Christ; and that not of yourselves; it is a GIFT of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. It's not a gift if I have to pay for it. It's paid for, now it's up to you if you want it or not.
