We have the choice. Do you want eternal life? Yes or No?

No. Abusive is wrong. God is Good!
But, he won't take abuse from us either! Just like I wouldn't take abuse from my children. If I couldn't help them with love and understanding, I would put them out of my house, and life if necessary.

Anyway, I don't want to live with god forever because i don't think I want to live forever, let alone with the same person for all eternity. Also he's not real, so, you know.
Is it so bad to say: "I don't know?" Rather than; "There is no God"?
Does it hurt so bad to open your mind to that possibility?
All we need do is ask Him in all sincerity! The answers come.
Quis ut Deus?
