Theism is literally childish

[I_am_not_mafia]

YOU made the claim that theists (that includes me) were "taught that consequences of their actions  are irrelevant because only God can judge." I am sitting here, as a flesh and bone, real life theist, telling you that I was NOT taught what you are claiming I was taught.

I am not saying that religious indoctrination explicitly states that the consequences of your actions are irrelevant, but it achieves this by trivialising the importance of your real-world life with the idea of an eternity of happiness and agony. And it is taught that this judgment is only carried out by your god.

After all, it is precisely for this reason that many christians manage to console themselves with how their life has turned out because they think there is a better one waiting for them. So you can't have it both ways. Either the actions and choices you have in this life are of utmost importance because this is the only life that we have, or they diminish in importance because there are far greater consequences ahead to consider.

To draw an analogy. It's important to be polite to random strangers, such as letting them jump ahead in the queue. But not if I have been taught that a great catastrophe is about to happen, that I have a family to protect and we're all trying to grab the last remaining items of food on the shelf. The information that we are given determines the importance that we assign to our actions.
