What can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

Lol even though you passed it lol.

There's a particular type of answer I was awaiting that I deem incorrect but you yourself actually passed with full colors Tongue

There is evidence this person is obsessed with hell.

 You're the one who is most familiar with them, so there is no need to explain anything to you.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

It makes me laugh how people say Satan is fooling people, yet state just as plainly that they themselves can't be similarly fooled. If Satan is such a bumbler that all these people notice him at work, and is so lacking in power that all these people manage to see through his ruses, it's not much of an argument to suggest he's fooling anyone. Not even Islam and Christianity can agree on who is being fooled and who isn't.

I have two possible scenarios.

Scenario 1: Suppose God contacted earth and made the following announcement "I know the future and I have decided it is time to inform you all that absolutely no one will get to Heaven because absolutely no one will meet the high standards that I set. You are all going to go to Hell after you die on this earth and you will all be tortured for all eternity. There is no way you can possibly redeem yourself because I've already seen the future and I already know you will all fail. It's eternal hellfire for everyone. You may as well all give up trying."

Scenario 2: Suppose God contacted earth and made the following announcement instead: "I have decided to let you all know that I wrote both the Bible and the Koran. I am indeed the God that created this world but those books were trickery and I'm actually evil. And there's no use thinking I'm Satan because there is no Satan. It was all a ruse. I don't care about petty humans, you are all my playthings. I'm going to torture you all for fun in hell for all eternity after you die and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Until then I'll enjoy watching you all waste your lives while prolonging your life as much as possible out of fear of how I very much will enjoy torturing you forever after you finally kick the bucket."

How would you react to the two scenarios if the truth is all that matters and not the swag? Would you still believe in both those scenarios after finding the truth about God? Would you still believe in one scenario but not the other? Would you stop believing in both cases?
Hammy or Ed, your still a great clown! And by then way, that hurt my brain thank you very much!
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9

I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!

When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!

I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.

How many times will this "thought experiment" be trotted around?
