When do you get a soul??

[eye exaggerate]

Not true. Everybody has a chance at redemption.

...did I just hear "neeeext"?

...dude, the 'background' of my existence is God when it is not the 'foreground' of my existence. Don't tell me, or anyone else, what God thinks. Neither you or I know what God 'thinks'.

No offense. Do you think it wise to tell people they'd be fckd because of how they lived their lives?

Would you like for me to prune that tree that's blocking your vision?



Even if it is so, I shudder at the thought of 'facilitating judgment'.

No matter what you believe about the divine, "blasphemy" is a purely human concept and a cornerstone of some of the worst religion has to offer. My opinion. cn

...I think blasphemy is a cellular thing. The propagation of negative influence in the body. Usually brought on by hate. I also don't know if history and religion mix well in the telling. To be honest, I'd say a lot of that was related to cultural wars. Pissing matches and name calling eventually led to a term being misappropriated as 'spiritual currency'.

Im not saying that Christianity is right, because alot of the time its not. But to deny god in his entirety is blasphemy. God existed long before christianity, the christian church was something made by man, not god. I dont belong to any one religion, I just believe in what is right. I was raised christian but over time I realized not all of it made sense, but I didnt start denying it flat out. And yes your right, if christianity is somehow 100% truth you are fucked.

What held/holds you back from denying it flat out?

I have prayed for god to visit me in my dreams, the only religious dreams I've ever had were filled with hell fire. If god has to count on my beliefs so bad, why doesn't he come visit me and have a cup of tea? Or wine

I believe in what is right too. I like morals, they keep me happy.

If christianity is real, I'd like to meet you in person sometime in hell.

But nobody will jump on it.. We can all be peaceful loving humans, but nobody will put all their effort into helping world peace.

Any god who would require a sound ass-kissing does not earn my respect. Worship (in the Western idiom) is such a human conceit. cn

 

[Hepheastus420]

A christian heaven doesnt sound fun at all. First you gotta seek approval from a judgmental god, then you gotta praise jesus and sing stupid songs to him for all eternity. I'd much rather see what the devil is up to...
Thats if the bible was true word-for-word.

If the bible was true, I highly doubt you'd wanna visit the devil. You'd probably crap your pants and run to god's knees. It would only be natural.

I kind of agree with you. When I started leaving my religion, I had a strange feeling that made me want to blaspheme religion. Pure anger. Not a good thing.

Denying the flying spaghetti monster is blasphemy. You're a blasphemer. Have fun in hell.

...but repressing it doesn't help either. Dude, I know anger. Have you been to the music thread? (jk)

...it needs to be released from you, and I think God can handle it.

 

[Hepheastus420]

Hep.

I've heard it's healthy to circulate ideas within oneself, as opposed to entertaining lopsided shifts.

Consider a person who has a radical shift to religion and goes over the deep end - starts handing out Bibles to passing cars, etc...dangerous stuff, to be sure From your new perspective, what would your best assessment of that person's state of mind be?

Sorry eye, but I'm not understanding your question. Do you want my opinion on the radical religious person?

Oh I'm not angry anymore. How can I be angry at something that I can't believe?

I think cannabis has anger handled anyways .

 

[Hepheastus420]

...yes, that's the one.

Well if you take anything to the extreme, I think you're a nut. So... that dude's a nut.

...intense people are intense people. Atheism is not a management system for emotions - especially since they are spontaneous and chemical. (I kid, about that last part)
