In hell, on the other hand, people will simply be absent his presence, but will enjoy the company of Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Ernest Hemingway, and Samuel Clemens, among many great others.
Call me crazy, but a hell spent autonomously with many of the world's great minds sure beats robotic ass kissing, with the likes of people like Adolf Hitler, any day. But that's just me.
Yeah, that idea of hell isn't scary at all, since you can't actually prove that there's something outside of yourself that is the source of all that's good. You can't say for certain that people in hell are incapable of pleasant emotions. Of course we do have psychopaths in real life that can't feel empathy, but no amount of reading the bible or praying is going to help them.
We know what it feels like to be on fire, so saying hell is fiery torture at least gives us something to compare with.

The other is that we don't want to hear what you're touting becuase it's a carbon copy of every other claim/belief that's been rebutted time and time again. Read; we don't want to hear about your beliefs. Or, rather, we don't want to hear you claim your beliefs as factually true when you have precisely 0% evidence to back it up aside fallacious arguments and proof by assertions (or beliefs).
And that you equate to being a de facto puppet to a 'god' that is supremely powerful to it being "'gracious and merciful' makes me hang my head in shame. Shame that you're willing to be a tool, a husk of a human being to be toyed with at will, and that in reality you're simply being a slave to your own imagination.
As always, with any delusion or addiction, the first step is admitting you have a problem. But you don't even realise that you do. Your selfishness and your ego drives you forward. "I'm right, you're wrong" with no consideration of the alternatives (or the outright rejection of evidenced based ideas). I hope wasting your entire, singular life for whatever version of god it is you worship is worth it. It's your right to do so, of course, but please don't bore us with the details of how great it feels. We don't care unless you've got something tangible to bring to the table.
I am sorry you feel that way. I am happy and at peace. I have never felt so fulfilled then when serving My Lord. I don't want to come across as a know it all because I don't. However, I am claiming that God knows it all. I am honored to be a messenger of the Almighty! Are you suggesting I leave the board? Is it ok if I suggest if you ignore my posts?
One does not combat that which he opposed by ignoring it.
Like I said, if you want to believe in whatever it is that you believe then that's a-ok. I've got nothing against people holding beliefs.
It's when people start touting their beliefs as truth and, moreover, start using an imagined divine authority as a reason for the behaviors (eg "I am honored to be a messenger of the almighty!") that I take a stand, because beliefs like that tend to be dangerous to everyone who doesn't espouse them. They also tend to try and impose on the (non)beliefs of others, especially the young, the poor, and the gullible.
So no, sorry, I won't be ignoring your posts, but outright lambasting them and objecting to them every step of The way.

Good for you - you think you've found a drug that works for you and gets you through the day without having to be faced with the realities of eking out an insignificantly brief existence on a ball of rock and iron locked in the embrace of a titanic fusion reactor held together by its own gravity, all the while hurtling through permanent night in the arse end of nowhere towards nothing. And maybe it does.
Doesn't entitle you to push that drug onto anyone else, though. Most especially when we've said "no thanks". If there's such a thing as mind-rape, your behaviour would be the first citation in the definition.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yes, if the definition of mind-rape allowed for incurable impotence.

I've been a much more fulfilled individual since I left religion.
