Atheism

I mean technically, if you really read about hell in the bible, it's only the only place god is not. I mean it's described as an awful lake of fire and so on, but that's just because the people who were reading it needed to hear that the people persecuting them were going to get theirs.

But yeah, what you said is what most people believe, I just think it's funny that the word for Hell when Jesus talks about it is actually Gahanna which is the place outside Jerusalem where they burned all their refuse.

Revives anyway coz it's too boring to stay dead

Jesus: "I made this checklist of what we call 'sins', and you seem to be violating a lot of them!"

Human: "your checklist sucks."

Jesus: "well that's fine, that's fine... you can keep on violating them and I'll forgive you as long as you swear that I am the best. Then I'm going to need you to give me 10% of your income, as a gift.. and I also want you to tell everybody else about this sweet deal I've made with you."

Human: "fuck off you crazy wannabe gangster."

Remember back when atheism was just about not believing in god?

"dies"

It's also like when a guy scams a tourist by insisting something is free but then demands a tip after they accept it. Like, oh yeah, this gift of Jesus dying for your sins is totally free, no charge... But hey, here's the tithe plate on Sunday.

If he already died for my sins then why would I go to hell? That shit is prepaid.

"Sounds like your god has everyone covered. Apparently one guy dying was all it took."

"... why would my participation matter, if your god killed that guy on everyone's behalf? Was that guy magically blocking everyone's submission? I don't get how begging for mercy and killing one dude can both be important."

"Your god killed his own kid? Like Saturn devouring his son? That's fucked up! If you have infinite power to do anything, why would you choose that?"

"Well if he came back then what's it matter that he died?"

"What do you mean he's also his own son? Your-- your god killed himself? Your god was dead for three days. Was anything different on those three days?"

“full payment” = “check this box”

The Catholic idea of being tortured in hell is completely made up and has no basis in the bible. They just copied the underworld from Greece and changed it a little bit to attract greeks to christianity

I'd rather worship Tom nook. At least I get a home of the deal.

Okay I keep having to explain this, but if you are going to mock the theology you need to actually be familiar with what it says instead of trying to dunk on a pop culture over simplification.

Hell is not a place, this is a pop culture simplification, kind of like how no one actually believes that death is when a big skeleton takes you away.

It is believed that God is the source of all love and light and all the good shit in the universe, by tuning him out and severing your connection to God you become eternally damned, which is a state in which you don't feel God's love. This isn't because God decided that he was going to stop loving you, it's more that in a spiritual sense you just aren't taking his calls anymore, and allegedly this is painful.

To put it in simple terms, imagine you actually have a loving father who cares for and supports you, but for whatever reason you have decided that he is an asshole, and you'd much rather hang out with the cool kids. They keep getting you into trouble, and your dad who wants to help out keeps getting voicemail.

No I'm not saying that that's what I believe, I'm saying this is how theology typically sees the state of Eternal damnation, the Lake of Fire is just a pop culture oversimplification inspired by allegorical metaphors in the Bible.

Like I said another problem with you mocking religion, but understand what you are mocking.

It is for this reason why Christians in online circles often say to each other "Atheists do not disbelief what God is, but what they claim God to be"
