Atheists and Agnostics risk infinite loss for no gain
RE: Atheists and Agnostics risk infinite loss for no gain
I'm not against you, DT, just adding my ideas to yours.

Doubting Thomas ='1380662086' Wrote: If I have to go by past answers to this question, SBG will respond with one of the following:

1. God makes the rules and is all powerful, so we have no choice but to honor his will. (might makes right)

SOB, excuse me, SBGTF is forgetting God's omniscience. We're not honoring anything when the big guy already knows what we're going to do and where we're going. There is no free will, just pre-planned destiny. Why did God create anything when he knows everything that will happen? Sounds kinda boring to me.

Quote:2. We're all worthless sinners who deserve Hell but only by God's gift of salvation are some of us saved.

I'm a sinner, but I'm not worthless. Any God that doesn't acknowledge my value is BS.

Quote:3. God doesn't want to send anyone to hell, but some people choose to go there. (ignoring the doctrine that God made everything, including Hell, and set up the system of sending everyone there unless they're in his special club)

Read the OT. God DID want to send some people to Hell. A lot of people. And Jesus' "believe in me or burn" philosophy isn't any kind of improvement.
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”
- Buddha
"Anyone wanting to believe Jesus lived and walked as a real live human being must do so despite the evidence, not because of it."
- Dennis McKinsey
