Look at all the twisted responses to the idea that God will forgive any and all offenses so long as there is genuine contrition. They call His mercy injustice. They call His generous loving-kindness immoral. These are not simple acts of disbelief or a benign ignorance. These responses are acts of will.
My bold. Bullshit. These are expressions of my belief that the God you believe in is immoral and that's all based on rational conclusions that I come to through my perceptions and judgement.
I think it's fucking disgusting that you think it's 'merciful' to give people a chance to believe in something and if they don't then you won't forgive them for the sin of not agreeing with you (global 'you' not you personally). That's what the God you believe in does. That's intolerance, nor mercy.
And it's fucking disgusting that that's what the God you believe in supposedly cares about most. Whether people believe he exists. Not whether people are good.
it's one thing to forgive bad people who are remorseful... it's another thing for the 'forgiveness' to have nothing to do with how good or bad they are and have everything to do with whether they give themselves to Jesus. For it to have nothing to do with being remorseful for a wrongful act and everything to do with being remorseful for not believing in God.... that's disgusting. Being remorseful for the 'sin' of non-belief and eventually believing in God is what God cares about apparently.
The other 'sins' are all symptoms of being ungodly, apparently. The one unforgivable sin is not believing in an immoral cunthead in the sky.
It's just obvious as fuck that true goodness wouldn't need God. Objective morality requires God? On the contrary. A truly objective morality would make God redundant.
