There are hundreds of millions, if not more, of people around the world who will Never, Ever discover Jesus or the Christian faith, and yet STILL be sentenced to eternal torment for not believing in something they've never even heard of according to Christians. WTF? HOW CAN PEOPLE JUSTIFY THAT???
I got off the phone with a family friend yesterday and it turns out that she thinks Christianity (Heaven, Hell, Bible) is bullshit too. I brought this up and she actually AGREED with me.
It gets much worse.
I have heard the story myself but not from God. I've heard it from celibate, old women in penguin suits and celibate, old men in funny hats. And I'm supposed to give these strange people any credibility at all...why?
Even if I actually believed any of this nonsense, I can't help wondering why God created this atheist (me). I mean, he knows everything, right? So why the fuck does he create a guy he knows will never buy into the stories - and therefor end up in Hell. It's like me building an airplane with the foreknowledge that the thing will crash with 200 people aboard into an orphanage and skid into a petting zoo with baby animals and explode into a nuclear fireball - and I build the fucking thing anyway! Who's to blame?
It's all on God. If God created the universe with the rules laid out in the bible, it's all on Him. Every evil, every injustice, every bit of suffering - it's all on God.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
