More personally, I don't find that I can actually choose what I do and don't admire, what types of authority I perceive to be justified, or what sorts of acts or demands or plans I find good or worthy.
Oh come on, you can choose to accept God's existence, that's all it takes. It's not hard, you can do it.

No trouble at all, and it's a good example of why I'm going to go to hell in this scheme, actually. I'm not going to cosign any hells..and..supposing I break, because people always do - well what would that show?
I insist that hell is a very difficult concept to grasp fully. We don't really know what eternity means because we never experienced it. We know however that any reasonable person will do everything to avoid extreme pain, even if it lasts for only a few minutes.
With this in mind, atheism is a completely stupid position, all it takes is a mental decision to believe in God and you already have a nonzero probability of going to heaven, and avoiding eternal pain. And yet, many people don't want to.

You're lying, I found some topics in this forum about atheists being worried about hell, to some extent.

Chill, bro. First, give us your proof that God is unjust.

Why do you worship an evil god, TEoA?
You should first define the contentious word "evil". And then we'll discuss your opinion
