I don't think that's what he meant,and you're kinda misunderstanding the bible.
In christianity God made a road for us to be happy it's not like an highway where you get off you cannot get back, it's a path where you leave but can always get back to

>>40736183
God didn't make a road for you to be happy.
The people who interpret and profit off of "His" text laid out a road filled with hallmarks of their sociopolitical ideals that conveniently make the masses easier to subjugate. Then peddle the road of subjugation as that of happiness to their donators.

>>40736211
How do you know what God wants?
>It was written in a book
There is a lot of crazy shit written in those books, most of which has gotten pretty damn far from what those desert people intended a few millennia ago...
I'll admit that there's some sensible moral guidance scattered throughout the New Testament, but most of that is just ripped off Socratism.

Take a little bit of critical thinking (you might have to borrow it from a non-Christian friend) and then, taking your fairy tale afterlife of choice as complete fact, think about the kind of people who would be in either place.

If you do that it's kind of self-evident why the Christian concept of afterlife is so laughable.

I think it's kinda funny that you believe that you'd be hanging out with others. And that you think they'd want anything to do with you.
Community, conversation, and fellowship are good things. You won't find them in Hell. It would probably be more like solitary confinement.

Let's keep it in perspective, bros.

>>40736186
Let me answer that for him. This is the mind of God:

Prov. 5:15-20

Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, and streams of water in the streets? Let them be for thyself alone, and not for strangers with thee. Let thy fountain be blessed; and rejoice in the wife of thy youth. As a loving hind and a pleasant doe, let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. For why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a foreigner?

> Marry young, if you can, and be happy.
> Don't share your wife and be a cuck.
> Don't go looking for other women to satisfy you.
> Be satisfied with your own wife at home.

Pray and ask the Lord to guide you to where He wants you to worship, He'll send you to the right place. A solid knowledge of Scripture certainly helps in that regard, in terms of finding a Church that actually preaches the Word. Stick to a mainline denomination desu, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, or some of the dissident conservative Protestant groups, the ACNA, the NALC, LCMS. Prayer is most important though.

>>40738263
I respectfully disagree with the third sentence, but strongly agree with the first two. Worship with a church that was founded by Jesus and the apostles, not founded/corrupted by man-made doctrines. They exist, they are out there, but are few and can be hard to find.

>>40738397
>Worship with a church that was founded by Jesus and the apostles

Catholic or Orthodox are the only serious contenders here.

>>40738228

It is not an accident that the relationship we have with God is compared to a "Father" and "Son". If you were a child and *completely* dependent on your father for support and you believed him amoral and "the most profoundly cruel, stupid and capricious conscious being that had ever """"""""existed"""""""" then what would you do? You have a couple of options.

1. Run away and reject his support/protection/guidance and try living by your own standard.
2. Accept that you are a child and don't know everything and perhaps your father knows more than you and really isn't as bad as you think he is and stay home.

What if your father WAS cruel and stupid and capricious but submitting to him was necessary to continue to receive the support you needed to live? Would you submit, or chose to die? Before you say, "I would find another father", consider there is but one God and there is no other. Where do you go? I choose to submit, but I also believe he loves me, even when things are rough (tsunami, drought, illness, tragedy, etc.).

>>40738228
>>because if you don't he'll literally torture the shit out of you for the rest of time

Hell is described as "torment" not "torture" and is literally cast out of His grace. Heaven is described as a great and beautiful city with high walls. Hell is outside those walls and you are never allowed in. If you are cast out, there will be eternal regret and torment over the opportunity lost.

Why are people so upset Trump might not let immigrants in? Because everyone outside wants access to the beautiful city. Heaven is not a place you will be able to immigrate to. You are filling out a living application for citizenship to heaven RIGHT NOW. It does no good to complain about the immigration laws. If you want in, you have to qualify.

>>40738508
well if there were evidence he existed obviously i'd submit to him, purely out of self interest, but my issue is not so much with "you shouldn't believe in god if he exists but he's evil", it's more "how can xtians believe what they do about him, and still say he's good and loving?" even if he were real and i did submit to his power, i still wouldn't believe he was moral if he were anything at all like an abrahamic god. luckily there isn't any reason to think he's real, so it's moot

I wish I could find happiness in religion

>mom was constantly volunteering her kids for church events
>never really bought into anything they were selling
>the people were wonderful tho
>kind, generous, volunteering for community service type shit
>congregation would pool money to send kids to New Orleans to help clean up after Hurricane Katrina

Truth is I don't care about what happens after I die and I don't need a higher "being" of sorts to give me purpose. I think most people choose religion because they're terrified of what happens in death so they hope and believe in some magical place to cope and it ends up consuming them and becoming the center of their life. They don't remember how to live life any other way, so they just keep being "devote".

I was lucky to grow up in a great church though. The sermons were funny and the pastors were good people. Tried finding another church like it just for the community but gave up the search.

Still volunteer sometimes tho

>>40738598
why should i think any of what you just wrote at all corresponds with the way things actually are tho. and no, the new testament and subsequent christian teachings are pretty fucking explicit that hell is true and absolute suffering, not just "regret". look i was a christian for the first sixteen years of my life and i have nothing against it, almost all the experiences i had with christians and the church were positive. i just can't convince myself it's true any more, and believe me i had a year of not admitting to myself that i knew it was bullshit when i would cling to every shred of comfort or evidence i could come up with that supported my faith

>>40738705
I was like you once.
now >>40738206

because the people you describe are better than the drug addicts and losers that my life is filled with and I want to be better in life regardless of what happens after death.

>>40738727

Here is my guess. You have never been a Christian. I presume for the first 16 years of your life, your family took you to some church but it never personally took root in your heart and owned the faith that your parents may have and that is completely normal. At least you have been exposed to that life which is more than what many have been given. You won't get into heaven on your parent's merits anyway. Be thoughtful about life, seek wisdom and someday you may see the value that your parents see in it and come back - I doubt you think they are stupid and yet they see value in it.

>>40738859
goddamn, christians just can't resist telling atheists they know what we think better than we do can you? no, i was a "family christian" i.e. not that bothered until i was like 8, then for 8 years after that got very into it, very involved in christian groups at school, bought apologist books etc, and actually the peak period of my faith was when i was at boarding school so my parents had little to do with it (desu mostly my mum, my dad dgaf really but he goes through the motions for her).
I don't think my mum's stupid, and i don't think the majority of christians i've known in my life are stupid either, but it's possible to be very intelligent and yet nonetheless convinced of something obviously untrue. i'm sure i have some, or even many such beliefs, when it comes to stuff like politics that i'm not even aware of, but i try every day to find them and root them out. thinking like that in fact, being thoughtful about life and seeking wisdom, is exactly what led me to realise how ridiculous the whole idea really is

Fucking LOL at LITERALLY being a christfag. If you ACTUALLY believe in god, or think ANY normal western adolescents believe in god in 2016, FLUSH YOURSELF.

I love how countercultures used to be pro atheist, but now that almost everyone actually IS atheist, you start ACTUALLY believing in god. Seriously? GOD? IN 2016? Lmfao. End yourself.

You do realise that the only reason ANY woman claims to be Christian these days is to get over the guilt of being assfucked by Chad and Tyrone right? NO WESTERN WOMEN GIVE A FUCK ABOUT "GOD". LMFAO.

You (presumably) went to school in the West. I know you haven't spoken to a woman in years, but SURELY you must remember how people at school were? I'm from Britain which is probably LESS atheistic than where you're from, and I cannot remember a SINGLE non-Muslim girl who believed in God. And yes, we did discuss it, in R.E class etc. Your religion is fucking dead.

You do realise that literally NOBODY believes in god these days right? Not even old people lmfao. The funny thing is you KNOW it's true, but I suppose you need a reason to explain your virginity and "muh Christian purity" works well for that. Lmfao. Absolutely pathetic.
