Why such a perverted concept? Why would a god wish something like that on humanity?
Originally posted by RBHILLOh, i was using "gay" as like as in "idiot" or " silly person" in this context.
it is funny that you say gay. if you were around my atheist cousin he would say i have gay friends don't uses that. LOL.
Originally posted by karoly aczelI know. I had used it once like that and he said to say that stupid instead of thats gay because i have gay friends. I wish i would have said i can't say that because i have stupid friends.

My fault, just a word habit between me and girlie.
She gets it from Kurt Cobain "Everyone is gay". I think she means they are all wusses and they dont have a bollock among them. (Remeber ,she is referring to the douches she comes across, not anyone on this forum. Not directly anyway,nor anyone specific.)

Also your god is supposedly omniscient, then it stands to reason your god already knew before someone was born whether or not that person would 'accept your lord'.
In that case it knows already who is destined for your hell and who ...[text shortened]... hy?
This is just the silliest excuse for a religion I have ever heard. Rule by fear. nice.

Two questions pop up: does it matter what IQ a person has? And at what age you become candidate for eternal burning?

Also, why does a GOD NEED GLORY?
It already knows everything about everytime and place and person and alien, what need is there for this god for glory from the pathetic beings called humans?

Originally posted by FabianFnasThat is not entirely true. What you believe only constitutes SOME percentage of what actually is. Just because you dont believe in ghosts, for example, belief in them is not a prerequisate for their existence, although strangely enough, your thoughts/beliefs seem to affect reality in more ways than you may be able to even imagine, let alone fathom.
As me as being a non-christian (and non-jew and non-muslem), I am safe from any religious hell.
To go to hell you must believe in it first. I don't. Christians can go to hell. I cannot.
Originally posted by karoly aczelFor me it is a truism that God didn't create us but we created God(s). The same seems to me valid for satan and hell. But it becomes rather real, spooky and affecting your life when you believe in such demonic visions.
