First of all , one of the most important storyes in the bible is that of " Jesus and Magdalena", acording to that story they should never judge others.
I met a monk once , he told us a story , it went something like this:
3 people where on an island , isolated and started to pray to God(without the knowledge of any religion) , after sometime a high priest arrived there with a ship and asked the 3 persones to tell them how they pray , dont remember the exact words but it was something ilogical ,after the priest heard how they were praying sayed that this isn't the correct prayer and told them the one that they should use.
After the priest left the island the 3 people wanted to pray in the way that he taught them but forgot , so they went after him and yelled " Stop, we forghot the prayer", the priest turned and saw them running on water , he sayed " go back to the island because you don't nees my prayer". The second reason why theist shouldn't assume who goes to hell.
So what happens to me then.
I think the bible and jesus stories are bullshit.
Do I go to hell?
If I don't, I think many of your co-religionists would disagree.
That's the problem talking to theists, you all think you have understood your religion correctly.
And I am left in the dark for saying "I am not convinced."
It doesn't matter if the story is true . The idea of the story is that before you judge others you should look at yourself . Didn't tryed to convince you , I just gave two exampels of why theist shouldn't assume who goes to hell ( please do not say hell doesn't exist , that is not the point)
I do not promote a religion , but i do not think that religion is the problem
