Hell, or rather my brief experience of it.
#5
RE: Hell, or rather my brief experience of it.
You've posted this before(or maybe linked to it), and I've always found one thing very curious about this story. You often tell people that god doesn't show himself, because that would take away our free will to choose him out of love. You then say that any belief in him would be out of self-preservation.

So, why did god show himself to you, and how can you claim that your belief in him isn't simply self-preservation? How can sit there and tell other people that god doesn't prove himself when he clearly did for you?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
