Tell me where it exactly says billions or 90% of all humans are going to hell. It says "many"; is many a lot or the majority?
And actually i see if your are right, that almost everybody goes to hell, then it follows with the story. The beginning starts with 2 people, they both fail, so there is a 0% chance. Then out of the first genealogy of the descendents of Adam, there is one man, Enoch, who walks with God. Then all are condemned except Noah and his family. And then Moses(one man) stands firm in God, while the others constantly doubt. And then Joshua and Caleb return from their scouting of the lands with others and they are the only ones that believe they can take the land.
So this pattern seems pretty fair or thousands of years ago a pretty smart dude made all this up just so i would see it.
All that deserve punishment, deserve punishment; Ill ask again, If you knew a criminal would continue to cause crime, would you release him to the public?
Why should he? Apparently he did. By cursing them for eternity, and every thing that came from them. Great role model. Next time my kids write on the walls I'm gonna put a curse on them, and my grandchildren, so on and so forth, ad fucking infinitum.
Take the list of things that earn one eternal torment. Take the number of christians (and assume that they all get into heaven regardless), then contrast that with the number of non-christians. You do realize that christianity is a comparatively new religion right? Homo Sapiens: 195,000 years. Christ Myth: @2,000 years. You keep responding as though we have no idea what the bar for eternal damnation is. It's in the black and white. What's the deal? Ignore the numbers if they make you feel sick to your stomach? We take that one step further, we ignore your entire religion.
Everything beyond this is a fairy tale CRod (as is everything above of course). God, Adam, Eve, Enoch, Noah, Moses, Joshua, Caleb, all characters in a fictional narrative. The pattern only exists in the narrative. The events only happened in the narrative. Your assessment of how the whole thing came together is also very naive. Religious tradition is created, maintained, and updated by many authors over many years. There isn't some lone storyteller that we can point to and say "Ah, here's the smart guy that made this whole thing up." Just not how it works. A single story, sure. Imagine if christianity were based entirely off the "begats". Wouldn't be much of a religion would it?
All that deserve bananas deserve bananas. See, I can do it too. Criminals don't "cause crime" they engage in it. Thankfully we don't live in a society where one person gets to be judge, jury, and executioner. We attempt to fit the punishment to the crime, and the convicted may always appeal. If you'd rather live in a different kind of society I'll help you pack your bags.
We can have a different kind of discussion if you provide any evidence for any of this btw. Then I wouldn't have to speak in the hypothetical.
Instead of:
"Your idea of a god is embarrassing to me, and should be abhorrent to you."
It would be something along the lines of:
"God is embarrassing to me, and should be abhorrent to you."
All I've heard from you thusfar is "I believe in god, and might makes right."
