Why Atheists Care About YOUR Religion

I CHOOSE no hell. Not even just for bad people.

An all-mighty god has to be bigger than that.

So would you suddenly believe in a religion if God himself TOLD you to? Maybe yea, maybe nay, but God does not want puppets. God wants those who make a FREE WILL choice for him. It's easy to say you believe in a god who physically holds you over the abyss threatening to throw you in. Harder to believe in one who is more subtle and preaches love, even f ...[text shortened]... who refuse him. However, Judgement still awaits. And your future is squarely ON YOU to decide.

In the account that you freely offered in this forum, of you being visited by angels, you said that they spoke to you and gave you a specific instruction which you followed and then something changed permenantly in your life.

Do you think it would have been possible for you to disbelieve after what must have been an astonishing spiritual experience, and therefore isn’t what you are asking sonshouse here just very slightly hypocritical of you, given the close encounter (to use the extraterrestrial phraseology) you personally had?

Ummmm, no.

One cannot remove free will from someone who has already chosen. They've already exercised their free will choice.

And why would angels waste their time appearing to those who do not already believe?

Didn't you say that you turned to your god figure because he sent angels to you who then spoke to you?

No. But please, continue to misrepresent me. Why stop now?

But you DO choose 'Not-God'.

It's a giant vote of 'no-confidence'. Do you really expect to reap any rewards from a God that you deny?

I have tried to represent what you said, and to do so properly ~ as it seemed relevant to what you were saying to sonhouse; why not just set the record straight? It was a question asked in good faith.

Except that you have the facts of the case inexplicably wrong, detective.
