If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
Folks I'll be honest here. I don't believe from choice, I believe from fear. I litterally admit the only reason I believe is out of fear of hell. I have attempted to live my life without fearing it, but could not. There is always the "what if I'm wrong?" question burning within me.
It becomes even worse since I am in fact a transsexual, and many of my fellow believers still believe I will burn in hell because of it, even if I do believe.
Yeah... Hell isn't real. But I take it someone made you believe by putting fear of hell in you. Hell doesn't exist, you have nothing to fear. Be free, and think for yourself. Whoever told you this scary hell bullshit was abusive and trying (apparently successfully) to control you. Take a step back from your beliefs and look at them with your l mind wide open, then look at the things in the world that we know without "faith" or "beliefs". Then compare the two. You should see that the stories about magical sky daddy don't quite fit in with reality.
If that's too difficult, pick up a Bible and read a few stories. But instead of reading them with your mind already made up that you're going to believe whatever it says; pretend it's not the Bible and that some stranger in the street has walked up to you and started telling you these stories. Would you just believe them? Or would you think they were insane? RE: Atheists choose hell

You bring up the Quran but you don't fear the Muslim Hell or the Underworld in Greek Mythology? How much time do you worry about those made-up hell's?

And Jesus said he didn't come to change the law, as has been posted already. Therefore, according to your own bible, women should not be prosletysing to men. There are men on this site.

Are you afraid of all the other hells of all the other gods you're not believing in? Or just your special hell from your special god? |
