How much pain can atheists withstand ?

[The Valkyrie]

Would you like me to try another way?

I'll just keep reporting you. Eventually you'll be sent to the shadow realm 

Report ahead.

Guess what?

None of what I've said violates any rules.

You sad little wankspanner.

What’s adorable is that he reported you for not violating the rules, which in itself is a violation of the rules.

As I leaf through dozens of miserable pages of discussions, I see some atheists go so far as to challenge the Almighty God and declare that they are prepared to go to Hell, that they would rather go to hell than -according to these weirdos- worship an unjust deity. 

Hell is one of those concepts that the human mind can't really understand when it's defined generically. So here is a really down to earth example:

[Warning: if you're eating something while reading this, stop now]
Try to imagine the chilling moment when your bowels are about to explode with diarrhea. You're not home, you look around and notice a restaurant nearby, you're running as fast as you can in its direction, as intestinal colic became unbearable. You come in and the restaurant hosts try to greet you but you don't give a damn, you finally reach the bathroom door, and then bang: The bathroom door is locked, so you stand there and try to force the lock, but nothing works! So you decide to give it a few kicks to break in.

But, of course, your noisy kicks are annoying a lot of guests. So they decide to report you to the restaurant's owner who, in a fit of rage, instructs the hosts to lock the restaurant from the inside and force you to pay for the damages you caused. It turns out the owner is a psychopathic bastard who also owns a gun, and he warns you that if you try to empty your bowels anywhere besides the bathroom, he'll literally shoot you in the head.

So you repeatedly try to kick down the bathroom door in desperation, while agonizing in pain, but to no avail. Some 20 minutes later, your intestines are perforated and fecal matter has reached critical organs of your body. You finally collapse and die, while the evil hosts are congratulating each other because you've been hit with cosmic karma in a spectactular fashion, and the restaurant is finally re-opened so that everybody can get out, as they can no longer withstand the stench of your corpse.

Imagine if we were to extend this hellish scenario for, say, 4 hours. Imagine four hours of going through this nightmare. Wouldn't you give anything in the world to avoid going through such a horrific experience?

Wouldn't you be prepared to give away all your money and possessions to avoid, say, 4 lengthy days, of constant, gut-wrenching, instestinal colic ?

Now imagine a place where you go through all that for 4 months, 4 damn months !!!!!!!!! nonstop, unimaginable pain of explosive diarrhea. Just take as much time as you need to really imagine what it would be like?

Now, if we redefine hell as : "a much worse, much longer experience than what you just read", the concept of hell becomes much more relatable! I doubt many atheists really think hell through. I mean, that's why they are atheists.

Restaurants usually have two bathrooms. Why not just use the other?

In 1972 I spent ten days with a metal rod stuck through my calf and impinging on my knee. I swam down a dirty brown river because I couldn't stand. I spent two years in rehab. Since then I've had worse. Currently trying to keep my intestines.

There is no greater hell than serving an unjust god. No pain, No anguish, No harm, No humiliation, No hardship could come within a hairs width of infinity to such an unspeakable thing and there is no reward an unjust god could offer that would make anyone other than the most Craven of bastards kneel.

[Astreja]

People fought nazis. If God takes such hostile position, then he asks for rebellion.

God isn't hostile, why are you saying this

A god who would torture anyone for eternity is not only hostile but infinitely evil.

Why do you worship an evil god, TEoA?

[Pat Mustard]

You know, I've seen and read some fucked up shit in my line of work.

This...


This is noting but the inane and boring bleatings of an ignoramus so lacking in intelligence, wit or common decency that the world's supply of all three will increase on their deaths.  You should really try out for the Darwin awards, lad.

You clearly don't have a rebuttal so you lose, go back to hiding

My rebuttal was that you're a fucking idiot who hasn't the first clue what he's talking about. Thanks for proving it right.

Bravo!

[Pat Mustard]

tbh I skipped them when I created my account. but I can guess what they are about

So you "guessed" that the rules forbade violent language?  You guessed wrong.  I'm "guessing" that's a theme with you.

TEOA's guess of the rules is "I can be as much of a shit to everybody else that I want, but the first minute anybody even looks at me sideways or disagrees with me, then they should be perma-banned". They're either a spoiled child with a potty mouth or a spoiled adult who never grew up mentally.

Hello.

Welcome to the forums.

Others have elaborated their thoughts and views on your posts though I feel I should add a few things.

1) It would seem you're (Possibly) not that long-lived. You haven't "Been around the traps long" as they say.  Others have posted some of their life experiences; your thoughts on such trauma might be interesting.

2) You... don't seem to understand how current Human biology or psych actually works, do you?
Stimulate something long enough and the experience will effectively become 'Numb' or ignored'.
This happens both on a physical level (Nerves dying, receptors simply stopping responding) and a neurological level. Feel the burn of gout long enough and eventually, it just becomes a 'Thing'. Just another ignored part of the body's experience. Like the weight of your @ss as you sit at the desk.

Throughout history, various regimes have risen and been torn down.

*IF* either or both of your proposed agents exist? Eventually, where ever they are currently hiding and carrying out the behaviours you espouse, they will be found.

(Of course, it seems that such things are but the wishes of mere Hominid minds. So, yeah, says more about the commenters, really)

Human creativity is immense. Human aggressiveness and/or 'Defensiveness' of our own species currently seems unbounded and unbridled.

I don't think the beings envisioned by a bronze-age civilization could possibly withstand modern Human's ire.

Looking forwards to interacting with yourself... For as long as the board tolerates your behaviour.

Cheers.
