Why It Is Not Too Late To Repent And Turn To Christ

Probably. After all, he was an atheist and most likely confined his loves and thoughts to the things of the material world.

See, this is where it all falls down. Russell, with his almost incalculable contributions to human thought (maths, logic, philosophy), his steadfast opposition to totalitarianism and violence, his concern for the dignity and welfare of human beings, is burning in hell. Torquemada, on the other hand, played by the rules and - according to those rules - is seated at the feet of God.

The technical term for this position, unless I'm very much mistake, is 'an utter crock of shit.'

Don't hold your breath. Or, on reflection, do hold your breath. 'Cos that ain't happening. Just what are we being saved from, exactly? And regardless, part of the deal is that the 'saved' élite get to "enjoy heaven" at the expense of the 'unsaved', including friends and family. Any version of me that has to do that isn't going to be a me that anyone would recognise, nor would it be one that I would want to spend any time at all with. In fact, I'd be ashamed and disgusted to be that person.

I'd much prefer to make a heaven right here on Earth.
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.'

Okay, now I'm starting to feel as frustrated as the others are with you. Not only did you continue to dodge my question, but you're still asking these insulting "where do you get your morality?" questions, despite the fact that I answered them the last two times you asked that. There has literally not been a time that you have asked this moral question, that I have not answered it with a proper solution based in situational ethics.

The fact that you continue to ask the question tells me that you either aren't reading what I'm writing (frustrating on its own) or you're ignoring it in favor of repeating your frankly disgusting talking points, and neither of those particularly engenders positive feelings about how seriously you're taking all this.

So, fine, if you want to be disrespectful, I've got no reason to hold back anymore: you say you get your morality from god, but that literally can't be true, because god is only ever okay with slavery, and you're not, I assume. Since at least some of your moral positions break away from what god thinks on certain issues, you're clearly using some standard apart from god to determine your morality, and I submit to you that this is the same one that I've been telling you about, if you had been paying attention.

Fuck. If you were there it would need to re-work its admissions policy.

They always seem to forget that the average human is far more moral than their deity.

That is because a propaganda-spouting robot like the one above, has no sense of morality.

It is a strict authoritarian construct. There is no moral component to authoritarianism. It is just about absolute obedience.

They don't forget, they just live in a fantasy world where christianity is the only religion, and it isn't predated by any of the moral ideals it later stole to compose the moral standards that we apparently just can't have without god. Rolleyes

Dodgy

It appears God may of made a place for those who really want nothing to do with Him.

First of all;

May HAVE goddammit how many times have you been corrected on this?

Secondly;

Why is it ok with you that your god would burn people in hellfire for doubting that he exists? Since there is no way for us, so far, to measure or verify his existence the motherfucker is playing cosmological peekaboo.

It's a real place.

Fortunately, if you give yourself to Good-Grammar Jesus and ask for HIS forgiveness, HE will let you into Good Grammar Heaven.

Repent now, Rev.
