He's just showing how his own belief and actions are based on fear. Big surprise.

I wonder what he thinks he's doing here. Gloating? Trying to save us from his insane master? Scoring Jesus points?

If he's really happy with his lot, I don't know why he's so desperate for us to agree with him about everything.

I often think it's because theists resent the fact that we even exist.

in the unlikely event that that day ever comes, expect to find Me on the Great White Throne, with Yahweh as My footstool, Jesus as My cabana boy serving Margaritas, and the Holy Spook as the dishtowel over his arm.  Hell will be shut down, the captives liberated, and I'll be finalizing the plans for a potluck supper.

The only thing that's getting judged that day are chili recipes.  

So, we're being judged on whether we believe a bunch of stupid stories from a book written by primitive people with no understanding of the world?

It is truly astonishing how a book from so long ago can still freeze people into submission. Of course, it's not really the book. It could say absolutely anything. It's the indoctrination.

Always comes down to the threat of an imaginary place of torment...

Yup. It is the quintessence of an abusive relationship. gawd says "Love me or I will hurt you forever". It is child abuse for all intents and purposes.

CDF does not love his god, he is simply scared of it. That isn't "love" by any measure.

Why is it that god-botherers trot out Pascal's wager as some sort of killer argument? Hell does not exist.

But, arguendo, suppose it did. It would be preferable to grovelling to the thug god CFD espouses forever.

Yup all theist arguments/assertions at some point boil down to some version of.

1) you can't understand/believe because your hearts are hard.

One of course has to wonder how created beings can harden themselves against a god who can do anything, he could at least make his presence clear and do so without interfering with our choice to choose. ( I would say free will but that likely does not exist either)

2) you will find out on judgement day.

Well no we won't, and neither of course will the theist. Thing is we will never be able to gloat about it, just as they wont.
I really wish theists would grow up and stop this childish nonsense.

Trollolol. There is no judgment day. There is no "creator". 

Go seek mental health help because you need it. If your precious god hasn't bothered to show up in 2000 years, after all the supposed threats in the book of Revelations, he isn't going to show up at all. If your precious god needs mere mortals to do his bidding, then it was mere mortals that created him and his story. 

10 Victims died at a High School in Texas, at the hands of a 17 year old boy, a few days ago. Where was your god to stop that from happening or are you going to say that those 10 victims deserved what they got due to original sin?

Their "world" consisted of a teeny, tiny little part of earth, which they didn't think was round. 

Also - white Jesus. 
Also - Kangaroos must have picked up the bones of all of their ancestors on the way back to Australia after Noah's Ark came to a standstill at the top of some mountain - in - gasp! - the very same teeny, tiny part of the world the babble is based on. 


And they wonder why we won't believe in their brand of bullshit.

At least the posting seems to have tapered down.

It's the weekend. He'll be back to post his continued stupidity on Monday, I'm sure.

He/she s likely in church praying to a non-existent god for wishes which will not be granted.

Or possibly rubbing every lamp he/she can find.
