If you were an all knowing all powerful god who supposedly loves everyone unconditionally, would you create a fiery pit and send people there for all eternity?

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 96 points 6 months ago

You don't understand. I touched my peepee. I deserve this.

[-] Gigan@lemmy.world 58 points 6 months ago

I murdered 50 people. But then I found Jesus, so I'm going to heaven. This is fair.

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 41 points 6 months ago

I'm a member of an uncontacted tribe, and was going to go to heaven for being completely ignorant of Jesus, but now that you told me about him, I'm going to hell if I don't convert.

I literally murdered by son and offered my daughters to be raped by the entire town. I’m going to heaven!

[-] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 6 months ago

Biblically accurate incel or something, idk I skipped the book to the end

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 10 points 6 months ago

Ah you missed out on god sending bears to maul children to death for mocking a man’s hair.

[-] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I just wanted to screenshot the part where a guy claimed a woman as a prize for collecting foreskins

God never loved anyone unconditionally. My favorite Bible quote:

Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me. ...whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me. — Matthew 25:41–43 (NIV)

He very explicitly hates selfish people. VERY specifically these people, spoken by Jesus, this group of people are damned to hell. Gays, never spoken of by Jesus, btw.

Any entity who tortures their creations for eternity based solely on their performance over a ~80 year time span is not an entity worthy of worship.
Any entity that either permits or doesn't have the power to prevent suffering on earth isn't worthy of worship either.
If there is a supreme being, they've either failed or they're malevolent.

Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried.

The fiery pit/dante's hell version doesn't actually exist in the bible. The main thing about hell is you don't experience god's love/presence, which is weird but a lot better than an eternity of torture.

If you experience god's presence please consult with your psychiatrist, I'm not joking lol

[-] CarlsIII@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago

People who think God has talked to them are just people who really sure about a thought they had

[-] metaStatic@kbin.social 4 points 6 months ago

That's wild. Have you tried DMT?

[-] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

I'm just referring to what's in the bible, I'm agnostic. (Incidentally, I only became agnostic after reading the book of job)

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

What about the post right above you?

into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

God's love seems a little temperamental and reserved for some nasty people. I think I'm good on God's love.

[-] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago

Oh he is, but that post above is Mathew talking.

The example Id use is the book of Job. Basically Satan and God conspire to make a faithful guy's life horrible.

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago

So why have churches been threatening their victims with hell for centuries? Could it be they all make it up as they go along?

[-] CarlsIII@kbin.social -2 points 6 months ago

The rest of the stuff you said isn’t in the Bible either
