Atheism VS Lake Of Freaking Fire

[SacredBishop]

As Christopher Hitchens said, " whatever reasons you use to reject every other God, simply apply those same reasons to the God of the Bible " Well if I did that I'd be an atheist, but the Lake of Fire is no beuno. I'd rather go to heaven confused, then go to hell unconfused. Is eternal damnation a good reason not to be an atheist? I'm scared of Lake of Fire, and don't want to go there. Atheism has no Lake of Fire.

Thomas123: Yes and No, D.

I was born into strict Catholicism. I remember the Hell Doctrines , preached to me as an impressionable 8 yr old. The problem is that you cannot fully ' unlearn' these things once they have taken hold. It is a form of psychological child abuse, in my opinion and that is why I recommended counselling if you cannot stabilize your fears yourself. Has anyone ever dreamt of the terrors of an imagined Hell?

It is worth considering the fact that torture is an exclusively ugly human phenomena, particularly in it's most sadistic forms. I have no doubt that it continues around the world on a daily basis and I know now that it is a correct response for the human to be afraid of the ingenuity and imaginative sadism of it's own species.
Thanks!

Pretty sure God tortured people before humans did. At least has done so a long time so
probably not exclusively human

[Thomas123]

probably not exclusively human

Probably is!

Delete or edit some of your more extreme posts here, Davado, and participate in proper debate. You are straight out the door, otherwise, ...most likely!

Thanks for the advice but I don't like the Jew moderator otseng.
Actually I was fantasizing about cutting his Jew throat.
What have I got to lose?
I'm going to hell anyway. May aswell go for a good reason.
Hope killing the moderator isn't a banning offence.didnt see it in the rules
Wonder how clever jewboy will think he is as his blood empties all over his lawn.
Perhaps he will regret disrespecting others

[Thomas123]

You are way out of order here, Davado.
I hoped you could do better,
Are you very young,perhaps?

[Davado]

No I'm middle aged.
Are you suggesting I'll be banned for what I said about the Jew propagandist otseng ?
Or what I want to do to his throat.
If only I wasn't an engineer and traced his IP.
My fantasy would seem less realistic perhaps
Good thinking

No, it is not. We should love God.

Imagine if you told your wife that the only reason you do things for her like massage her feet is because you fear that she might kill you in your sleep if you do not.

That's my point Sir, the hell card cannot be unlearned as you articulately put it.

I don't near fear a lake of fire as I do far right Christians voting.

With the one there's no proof it's there, with the other'n, they've captured the Supreme Court.
