Quote:But people willingly (even gladly) send their kid into something called "Hell House" which, from what I can tell, is a hundred times scarier than anything in an amusement park. How twisted are these people?
a few many years back, I asked a Preacher that I knew, why in the hell would he send his congregation and children on a van ride to this bullshit, but preach against haunted houses???
No shit, this was his reply back, "Because haunted houses are not real, and Hell House is, and what awaits gods children if they stray from god's path"....
Yes, I know that not all preachers are like this and believe this way etc. etc.....But the point is missed on so many levels.....
The point is, is that there are............
That was the last time him and I spoke........
Oh, so "Hell House" is real, huh? And he knows this for a fact? How?
This is one of the things that really annoys me about believers. They are so certain that the bullshit they believe is true that they spout it as undeniable fact. They KNOW that "God" exists! They KNOW that the Bible is true! They KNOW that "God" created the universe! They KNOW that Jesus will return!
I wish I could bet them that what they believe is crap. I could be a very rich person!
This reminds me of a wake I went to where the priest told us we had to pray for the deceased because "God" uses our prayers in his decision as to whether or not the deceased gets into heaven! I REALLY wanted to speak up. I wanted to ask how he could POSSIBLY know such a thing. I also wanted to ask what happens if a good person dies and no one prays for him. Does "God" say, "Gee, I see no one is praying for you. See ya!"? And what if an entire nation prayed for a despicable person? If all of Germany prayed for Hitler after he died, would "God" have said, "Wow! Millions of people are praying for you! Come right in!"? Of course, I kept silent, but this is the kind of thing that gets under my skin.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
