Hell isn't scary

Hell isn't scary
The idea of getting punished for eternity isn't that scary whats more scary is being in paradise for eternity 
but with that it comes with a price of eternal worshiping god. Then also this place would be perfect that itself is terrible
were people we don't like perfect at all so to put it like so we would all be the same in some sort of hive mind of worshipers. I haven't even touched the worst part we don't get to do the things we do on earth in heaven like eat drink or even sleep and not to mention we will have no free will in heaven. Then what about.. the unborn and toddlers that would be the majority of heaven. Also in heaven you get a good view of people getting tortured in hell and since you have no free will you would be happy that is sadism on a epic level. So yeah a eternity of worship and singing songs watching people getting punished and being happy about it.. forever.. Hell it is much more of a pleasant place than heaven.

RE: Hell isn't scary
Either existence would be horrible. Though the people in heaven likely wouldn't be aware of how bad it is, because they're not allowed to think things that Yahweh doesn't want them to think. You'll be stripped down until you likely aren't even you anymore. How else could you enjoy heaven, knowing there are people burning in hell just because they didn't believe?

I would like to be separated from the kind of person portrayed in the bible. He has a very twisted view of goodness and love.

Yeah i agree if god of the bible wasn't written up to be a complete cunt but again though the devil in the bible doesn't seem like that bad of a person 
compared to yaweh and that's pretty much the sad part of it all.

Yeah. I'll take suffering and torment over peace and happiness any day. Seriously, though, we will have bodies in heaven and so I would assume that we will eat and drink and do things that are related to the body. Where did you get your ideas about heaven from? Your idea of heaven sounds awful to me. Certainly not from the bible. Why do you think we'll have a view of hell from heaven?

A peace a happiness that strips away your free will no thank you the idea of being happy and watch someone getting punished in hell is not 
something that sits well with me i'm no sadist.

We get our idea of heaven from the fact that your god is such a control freak that he equates thoughts with actions. Of course the bible is going to try to portray heaven as well as possible, and hell as bad as possible, but from an outside perspective heaven doesn't look very enticing.

Uh duh! have you read that part of the bible about heaven. Or any part for example about murder
if you think about killing someone that is equal to actually killing said person when you didn't.

Yeah, really. From the outside looking in, the biblical god doesn't look like someone I'd want to be around. Certaily not worship. Though the idea of worshiping anyone is a little odd to think about.
