God said this...God said that......
If you have a complain about something it is correct to take the complain to the proper person not blaming someone who has nothing to do with what you are complaining.
When ever God said something about eternal damnation or any other bad thing?
And when ever spiritual people like Shiva, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus and many other said such a evil things?
Priests turned pure spirituality into religions inventing all kind of dogmas in order to control people mind and profit from it so they could sit in the chairs of power.
It would be nice if you do not agree (and i would not myself) with all kind of dogma if you could take your complain with those who invented these dogmas and leave alone God and those who have nothing to do with religious dogmas. Thanks

Where have I heard this before?

Oh yes, that's right. It was the last thread you created about dogma.

In that thread, you kept accusing people of being "locked in the dogma" of materialism, and being ignorant of the spiritual because of them being dogmatic about their belief that the material is all that exists.

Beyond showing that you know nothing about what people here actually believe, you were asked direct questions which you either didn't answer or answered incorrectly, yet you continued to spew as if you were some kind of spiritual guru, posting empty assertion after empty assertion.

You know nothing. I recommend that people just ignore you. Your threads are nothing but pretense for your egotistical and empty claims to spiritual knowledge.

There is nothing to be gained by answering you or participating in threads started by you.

Yes, "god" is the product that religion sells to gullible fools. The choice of whether or not to buy it is ultimately your own.

Caveat emptor!

Why can't you see it as God trying to protect you from the punishment that will come.

Are you saying unless he/she agrees with you and those that think like you he/she is wrong, I hope not, you are the one who could be wrong, right?
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

It would be much easier to do that if the punishment wasn't also set up by god, for a series of non-harmful, nonexistent crimes.

We could all be wrong, GC... Luckily, some of us don't see the use in making declarative statements about the things that are right.

Some others, of course, set themselves up to really fall, if they're wrong... Thinking

When a storeowner gets shaken down by gangsters, they tell him it's for his own protection. The storeowner does what the boss wants, and the crime boss saves the storeowner from his own punishment. There's absolutely no difference between a mafia protection racket and Christian salvation.

If that is your best understanding of the scriptures why do you even try. Did the crime boss create this store owner, did he start the business, no, so rightfully he has no say other than he takes it, much like Satan.

So by your belief the government has not right to set the punishment of criminals that break the standards the government has set.

I think a better analogy would be that I'd believe the government would have no right to set the punishment if the laws the government made were impossible to follow unless you bowed down to the government and worshiped it, including following the government's dictate to harm others and profess bigoted beliefs.

To be clear, the government god most resembles isn't a democratic one, it's an autocracy. A dictatorship. That's the issue I have with your dishonest equivocation.

My response wasn't dishonest. No matter what the government is it has controlling power to judge by the laws it made.
God determines the punishment according to His judgement, I do not believe God ever claimed to have a democratic government, such a government comes from man because of man's flawed sense of justice, so the more that are actually involved in the government the fairer laws will be. God being perfect does not need anyone to tell Him how to govern, Satan did not like it and you see where that got Him and us. Satan like nonbelievers thought/think they can do better to meet their selfish desires. So duh, we now have hell as part of life.
