Christians believe that the majority of the world's population will burn in hell for all eternity. I think it's time for people to call Christians out on their barbaric beliefs.

Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
“Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
“But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
“But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless.
“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
“For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

Okay. Allow me to explain what I meant, since you apparently don't understand.

Christianity is the most popular religion on the planet, second to none. This makes Christianity the majority. Christianity makes up a (lol) MERELY 2.2 BILLION (last estimate circa 2010?) which is a solid BILLION over Islam, which is the second most popular religion on the planet.

Understand?
I hope so, considering this totally blows out the argument "if Islam wanted to kill us all, they would have by now!"
If Christians were half as oppressive as Islam, we would be seeing Christians in the news just as often as Islamic oppression. But we don't.
>>
>>127135465
Perhaps God punished Africans a long time ago for being savages, practicing blood magic, and eating the flesh of their own.

God does generational punishments in The Bible because your seed is not wholly independent. You don't have to agree with it, but let me remind you that you don't see Creation as God does.

>Fear is what drove my belief. Not happiness, or good morals, divine revelation, and not god.

Pretty much the whole problem with Abrahamic religions. Fear (more like Anxiety for this case) is a destructive element that is corrosive to virtue. An anxious man will be more prone to destructive behavior and his so-called good actions will be meaningless and forced. He won't really know really why he will be doing this and will probably have unvirtuous behavior outside of the terms of the religion. Morality, virtue and soul just end up sacrified on the altar of ideology.

If your parents were fair to you and did everything they were supposed to do, and you still turned out to be a shitcunt, it's not your parents fault.

God gives creations free will, but He can also see the future to know what they will do with that free will. People often use this to say it is a paradox, but that is untrue. Creating something with free will and having the foresight to see what it will do is not a paradox.

>>127137126
I mean, if you don't believe anyway, then there is no fear of hell. It's usually when you are deep into belief of God, when hell becomes a thing you consider, but by that point it's not what hell that motivated you (since you are only now fearing hell).

Hell frightens small children, yes, but as adults, it is not usually what motivates one towards God.

You're right but I have a question now.
Do most Christians believe in ignorant heretics going to hell? That's a tough questions since all the Christians I've ever come into contact with have said "if their hearts are pure and they never found god, they still go to heaven". I'm not sure what the rest of the Christian world thinks of this.

> Positivism is not a sound foundation to rest your reason on.
Yes, we don't have a fully solid foundation.

But we can get from any possible (not disproven!) sets of Axioms all the way to explain measurable reality while not break the used logic at any time, and make that our true understanding of the world.

Religious texts? They can show nothing "more" than that. They generally are just simply wrong because they're not providing valid axioms or any coherence in logic going from axioms to reality..

It's not backed up by anything, it's just self evident. Religion is a description of qualia phenomena just like science is a description of physical phenomena.

All religions attempt to guide their followers to a qualitative state of mind that is described as heaven/nirvana/enlightenment. If you've ever used drugs or otherwise attempted to change your state of mind you can easily understand that at the core of things you really do choose how you feel. You can choose to be depressed and anguished (Hell) or you can choose to live in peace (Heaven). It's only by accepting faith (God) in a higher system of being that this can be accomplished.

If God is real then you pretty much have to assume that He was fair. Sorry, but that is just part of the definition of being an "all powerful and all knowing being." God did everything He was supposed to. If you end up in hell it wasn't because of God.

Atheism is really is a collective delusion on the part of society that rejects the reality of qualia and insists on uncompromising physicalism (non-duality), even though evidence (chaos theory/chaotic oscillator coupling applied to conciousness) suggests that this is not the case at all.

One problem is that I cannot match the views of various sects to numbers properly, I just didn't do that work.

And then it's also problematic to account for actually changing or unclear positions. You know, like in the Catholic church, there is the question of whether unbaptized or even baptized but not confirmed people (~= those who die young) go to hell, heaven, or something else. And the fraction of humans who died and still dies before birth or as children is huge.

> all the Christians I've ever come into contact with have said "if their hearts are pure and they never found god, they still go to heaven"
Not a generally held view. And the bible is kinda allowing interpretations from "everyone will go to heaven by default thanks to Jesus [except those that did some really bad shit]", "do this and that and you're surely going to heaven" over "depends on god's individual and (from human's point at least) arbitrary judgement" to " almost everyone is going to hell by default except a few that will be explicitly saved", to "hell isn't really a thing, it's just whether you are closer or further away from god and whether you like it or not". These and surely more are all views held by one or another sect of Christianity.

Idk, I can't speak for God on this. From God's point of view, He made us perfectly fair. Our bad decisions have always been disappointing to Him. Of course He knew it would happen, but we just really can't understand or comprehend God. It's fair to just say I don't know. As evident in The Bible though, He's never been happy to punish us, more so that He had to.

It's all about passive-aggression, anon. It's about believing in something that allows you to hate and love other humans infinitely, to whatever feels the most sophisticated.

It's about never wanting evidence of your decency or lack thereof, but never being allowed to be debated either. It's just a huge shmucky vibe.

THHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

this is the best way to describe athiest. the actual level headed ones that can accept that maybe they could be wrong are the ones who actually have a deeply rooted understanding in the science they believe in

your average fedora wearing cunt has a high schoolers understanding of the universe and doesnt have any clue of the freaky laws of physics and causality breaking shit that happens all the time (see quantum eraser delayed choice, good example of what im talking about)

I switched from computer science to computer engineering in college and even that was a huge change in demographic, since all the cs people with autistic athiests and lots of the computer engineers were religious

Very little high level sceintists are atheist, at the very least, they are agnostic for the reasons i just spelled out

Canonically, Islamic people worship the same Abrahamic God of The Bible. There are many problems though. Revelations ends with a note about saying how this (The Bible) is the complete word of God and anyone who adds to it or subtracts from it will be met with curses.

The doctrine of hell literally proves Christianity false from the perspective of traditional philosophical theism. It is irreconcilable with omnibenevolence and omnipotence.

Furthermore, hell makes no sense as a punishment from an omniscient being who is even somewhat good. Is the purpose of hell to reform the wicked? Then why is it eternal? Does God make examples out of the damned to scare the living straight? Then why does damnation occur in an invisible, unreachable realm? Does damnation occur due to God's justice? Then why is it an infinite punishment for finite crimes? Is it just where souls go when they don't accept Christ? Then why is it too late after death, when there can be no religious doubt? Hell only makes sense as an invention of man.

Fortunately, it is a simple matter to preserve the integrity of your faith by jettisoning the false doctrine.

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

The problem is the Catholic Church's recruiting process from the mid 1800s on was not very Christian at all. They needed priests to go evangelize and they had plenty of poor congregation members, so the priesthood became a way of poor people to unburden themselves of children instead of a divine or even moral calling.

They were then sent to seminaries which were ran like puppy mills with very little oversight. Throw in the nonsense unprecedented, biblical rule of Catholic forced celibacy of priests which attracted queers in droves, and this is what you get.

Queers babysitting droves of young boys often times without a woman or girl in sight for miles.

When a Christian believes you have chosen a path that will lead you to burn in hell for eternity, the Christian prays for you to repent and find salvation by accepting Christ as your savior. They do not pray for you to burn in hell, but rather, as the Lord's Prayer says, to "deliver us from evil." They pray for your salvation, not your condemnation.

If you don't believe in hell, then why are you concerned that someone else does, and is praying for you to be saved from it?

lets see an explanation to these scenarios
god makes everything happen and has a plan that those things will happen
i dont believe
therefore he planned it/made it happen (dont say muh free will bc if he knew it would happen it was planned, not free will)
why am i in trouble for this
second scenario
god either sits idly while children get raped, or he sends the rapist to the child. its one of two....

if god knows everything that will ever happen then how should i be in trouble if he knew id go to hell

In the past: Blood-hungry religion successfully used to justify basically just about absolutely any atrocity whatsoever.

Today: Nearly all people ignore most of the bible even among "Christians". The vast majority hasn't even made an attempt to read more than a few pages and only had some selection from a few dozen pages read by their preacher. So it's no wonder they *can't* do anything but basically ignore it.

Modern Christian nations go essentially purely with modern laws instead (which aren't tied to the bible really closely at all). This avoids endless bloodshed over interpretation issues of unclear sections in the bible and many other problems.

Modern pagans are pretty much not a problem for much of the same reason, they also generally follow modern laws.

God doesn't know the future because the future doesn't exist (yet) and we have free will.

>Yes, all those Palestinian Jews travelled around Europe stealing from your totally based pagans
The Jews did travel all around Europe, it was only Christian kingdoms who invited them in the first place, and yes the original Christians did steal from paganism in order to coerce converts. They then murdered those who still held true to themselves. Then they murdered a lot of other people, including other Christians. What a lovely religion that has stabilized and unified Europe.

First off, the Bible is the most ridiculously phrased book that is taken seriously by a large number of people.

Then he's not all-powerful. Also, there are plenty of instances in the Bible where God knows the future or at least predicts it.

>"But the Bible clearly states...!"

In English, maybe - and even that is subject to interpretation. Translating words across lingual, cultural, and historical contexts (from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek into English) is a hard business. Understanding what the original authors would have intended requires a great deal of study. Do some reading:

> Majority of the world either hates God, doesn't want to bother knowing him or hopes he doesn't exist.
> God's mean for not forcing all them to spend eternity with someone they hate.

Why do you think you should spend eternity with God if you hate him OP? He's giving people both what they want and what they deserve. Nothing unjust about that. In fact, it's absolute justice. And if you want to ask why people have to go to hell OP, the answer is they don't have to. You don't. You could fix it right now. Just bend your knee, accept your place in respect towards your creator, repent of your wickedness which is ingrained in all of us, and seek out the gift of salvation he gives anyone who asks. Jesus is God, he added humanity to himself so he can substitute for you in your deserved punishment and he's fully divine so he could bear it unlike you. Know him and you will be made clean. Dont fall for fedora memes. Materialism is dead and the universe acts in ways that requires inputs independent of time and space. Research it.

Also, hell is everlasting destruction of the Spirit which is what happens when you are separated from Goodness and being left to your own. The fire and maggots are metaphorical for the spiritual destruction and even the most hardcore fire and brimstone preachers like Johnathan Edwards taught that. At the very least read something basic from someone like C.S. Lewis.

>Hell begins with a grumbling mood, always complaining, always blaming others... but you are still distinct from it. You may even criticize it in yourself and wish you could stop it. But there may come a day when you can no longer. Then there will be no you left to criticize the mood or even to enjoy it, but just the grumble itself, going on forever like a machine. It is not a question of God "sending us" to hell. In each of us there is something growing, which will BE hell unless it is nipped in the bud.

But God created my mind and my soul, yes? Ergo he created everything decision I would make, so it is not free will. You'd like to think it is free will so you will go to heaven, but if God is an all-powerful creator then he already knew where we would go after death.
>One is a contradiction one isn't.
It makes no sense that someone is both entirely mortal and entirely immortal. At least Greek pagans had the concept of demigods, but Jesus isn't a demigod.
>In what year did they travel around the beloved sodomites of Europe, who sacrificed children and animals to Jupiter, and steal all their traditions?
I'm referring to the Christianization of Europe in general, over time. And the goat-fucking shepherds who developed your religion also sacrificed food to their god. You're not paying attention at all. The original Christians never had such a concept of Christmas until they stuck their claws in Europe and wanted to spread their faith. Part of that was adopting European paganism, and you cannot be so dull in the head to deny that.
>And as you know those are very recent developments.
Recent developments in the age of technology mean these developments will last much longer and have more impact than previous developments.
>Even those Churches don't teach these things as a religious duty
Yes they do, they demand their followers accept and love LGBT people without the gays reverting from sin.
>And those aren't part of the religion.
My point exactly, everyone relates the BEST parts of your most important holidays to paganism. Christianity without European paganism would literally be too boring of a religion in the modern age, as well as when it originally spread to Europe.

You seem to illogically believe that knowledge of a free agent's future actions = control over/responsibility for said actions. Allow me to demonstrate how this is illogical.

>you know your son loves hamburgers and hates hotdogs
>you offer him a choice between the two
>you know before he even makes the choice that he will choose hamburgers, even though he had complete free will
Therefore, knowledge (certain, in the case of an omniscient entity) of a free agent's future choice does not mean that you bear responsibility for the free agent's choice.

I do choose my friends and enemies, because I don't believe Yahweh created me. If Yahweh DID create me, then I didn't choose my friends and enemies at all. Yahweh created them and how all our minds work, which means he knows how we would interact.
If I did move out of my neighborhood, it wouldn't be my choice. God shaped my mind that, after all. It was his will that I left, because he created every single aspect of my life. Is it even MY life?

Why the hell would it mean that? Go is simply handling the Video Shop and he knows all the movies by heart, but he didn't direct them or write them, he just spectated them.

If you think about time in a human manner you will never understand. An omnipotent being that time has no influence upon has at the same time experienced everything that has happened and not.

It implicitly declared it when the veil of the Jewish temple was torn, denoting that the Jewish rites were no longer needed for forgiveness and connection with God. The veil that separated mankind from the presence of God was no longer needed as every person now can have that relationship through the Holy Spirit. The Jews had a set purpose in time. It's kinda why it became important to "go forth and make disciples of all nations".

That's not even remotely a true statement!

Christians don't say anyone is in Hell (we don't actually want anyone to go there). It's not out place, as humans, to judge others in that capacity. God does all the judging. We just live our lives as followers of Christ, and leave all the heavy-lifting to the divine powers that be.

Why the fuck does him being the creator means he wrote everything? We can do whatever the hell we want to do, but this is a universe of equivalent exchange with laws governing everything, so to expect things concealed within that jurisdiction to be devoid of consequences for their actions is idiotic.

Free will is what grants you the opportunity to either serve God or tell him FUCK YOU YOU PIECE OF SHIT. You are free to do whichever you want, but all actions have consequences, some good or some bad. Doing good things will reap good rewards and doing bad reaps bad rewards.

Having Free Will makes humans a special case. If you notice, everything in the universe functions according to a very specific set of laws like clockwork. With our limited knowledge we can use the external information to make skewed approximations of events based on the observation of the moving parts. Similar to how we use Cesium Atoms for maximum accuracy in time measurement because the cesium atom vibrates a set amount of times per second and reliably so.

But unlike the Cesium Atom, Humans actually have free will. They are the Rebel Particle. The are like a cesium atom that sometimes vibrates 1000 times per second, then a Trillion then not at all. In functionality you would wish the rebel particle to adapt to the laws of the universe, but it's up to the particle to decide if it wants to behave properly or not. That is who we are.

... okay dude. Jesus specifically mentioned in the sermon of the mount not to cast pearls to the swine, because they would simply not simply ignore them and maybe even attack you, but i'll try to explain it in a simple manner:

The man who invented Chess created all the pieces of the game, the rules of the game, and knows how all pieces function, ergo, understand every possible way in which the pieces can be used in a game.

If you play a game of chess and lose, would you blame the maker of the game because, of all the choices of moves you could've made, you decided to make the ones that led to your loss?

>>
>>127162434

People make these sorts of arguments all the time, but human logic has no bearing on what God might be capable of achieving, because by definition he isn't restrained by the physical or logical laws of this universe.

As such, God could create a rock so heavy even he couldn't lift it, but then go ahead and lift it anyways, because causality doesn't necessarily operate in the same manner in all realms. Same thing goes for free will if taken in the literal sense of "God creates everything but is also all-knowing."

But there. For example, it is possible he merely elects to not know about what is going on in a person's life until death, thus allowing free will to exist. it's not a very good counterargument against God in general, but realistically the only counterargument that sways most people is "This doesn't make sense to me and it sounds silly, and I have no reason to care / am limited by it," which is the real motivation for most atheists IMO - all the other arguments just rationalize that belief.

Nothing you said about the cesium atom's movements seems to be related to why humans somehow have free will.

>Jesus specifically mentioned in the sermon of the mount not to cast pearls to the swine, because they would simply not simply ignore them and maybe even attack you
Jesus doesn't want you to explain anything about Christianity? What about me is swine-like to you?

>The man who invented Chess created all the pieces of the game, the rules of the game, and knows how all pieces function, ergo, understand every possible way in which the pieces can be used in a game.
It's a nice metaphor but God didn't just create a game, he created everything. He created the chess board, the pieces, the combinations of movements, and the PLAYERS. Since he created the players and he is all-knowing, he must have known who would win the game.

>If you play a game of chess and lose, would you blame the maker of the game?
When I play a game of chess and win/lose, it is my own fault because I had nothing to do with the creation of the game or its rules. I am entirely separate from the game as an entity.
But when you talk about the Creator of Everything, you must include everything. That includes the players, their minds, and their decisions. A game with God seems to be rigged from the start, since he created and controls everything. There cannot be "free will" if God created our wills.

Orthodoxy teaches that the presence of God is always the same, and it is the soul in question which decides whether the experience is good or bad. Someone who rejects God will feel agonized in his presence, while someone who welcomes him will see it as soothing. Furthermore, even if you are originally placed in "Hell" - which is a condition more than a place - it is not an eternally unchanging state.

As far as God's actions go, it should be obvious that such an entity would be capable of doing things which are completely alien to us. I fail to see how this is difficult to understand - logic and physics are no constraint to an omnipotent being.

The cesium atom does not have a choice in the matter, it vibrates the set amount of times until it eventually expires. Unlike galaxies, solar systems, planets, mass, molecules and overall particles, Human beings can decide if they want to do their job or not. It's seriously simple.

Humans can analize perceived value, but give something valuable to a pig and he won't care. Hell, he might even trash it. It's an analogy about not wasting time on people who do not want to learn. If you want a more modern version of the saying, how about "You can take a Horse to the river, but you can't make him drink"

>It's a nice metaphor but God didn't just create a game, he created everything. He created the chess board, the pieces, the combinations of movements, and the PLAYERS. Since he created the players and he is all-knowing, he must have known who would win the game.

And this is why i'm BEGGING YOU to understand.

KNOWING the outcome does not mean you CREATED the outcome. If i know every single second of the movie "The Mirror", does that mean i can call myself Tarkovsky and tell everyon i directed it?

>There cannot be "free will" if God created our wills.

We

Are

The Rebel Particle. The rebel particle is not like a calculator that, if properly setup, will give you an accurate answer everytime. Neither is it like a computer that, properly set up, reacts according to the inputs it is provided.

WE can choose if we want to fuck up or not based on our learning experience. Just like a kid makes a lot of mistakes for lack of knowledge, but can grow up to be an influential and intelligent man by learning, it is up to US to determine that.
