I've changed my mind. I'd sacrifice a son, lick God's balls and toss his salad too to avoid hell.

I just don't know which heavon to choose and which hell should most be avoided. I hate any and all risks.

No problem. I've decided to go with another heavon provider, perhaps one that offers more virgins.

YOU will all be doomed to a life of damnation for not worshipping Quetzalcoatl

All bow before your GOD!

Still seems better than spending an eternity with his most devoted folowers Big Grin

Didn't we already come to the conclusion that we are gonna have one hell of a party in Afterlife down with the devil himself? Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

How do I cope?


Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Okay, these things assume that you would feel pain. Since I would be dead, I would have no nerve endings to transmit pain signals to my brain (indeed, I wouldn't even have a brain). So how would I feel pain?


Quote: foul odors (brim stone)

Okay, "foul odors" assumes I would be smelling something. But smelling something requires breathing. Since I would be dead, why would I be breathing? To keep me alive? I'm already dead!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Lets imagine there is an afterlife, I can't spend a month on this forum, without upsetting people I agree with, what chance have I for all eternity with a jealous god that wants to restrict me from eating shrimp.

The inventors of hell used up all their imagination making it seem as dreadful as possible, they didn't waste any trying to figure out how it could actually work.

Figuring out how it could actually work would destroy any form of Theism I've ever encountered.
