are these threats comming from you, or your god? and why does it have to be a threat. I find it hard to intelectually relate to a god that would create imperfect beings and then punish them for their imperfections. whats the point of eternal punishment. no one "learns a lesson" in this case. so who benefits? god? humans? cui bono?

if god is offering to save us from hell
it seems like an offer we cant refuse. I would argue why does god put us here in the firstplace?

To realize hell is a hurdle he placed in front of us so we could use faith to jump over it.

I dont like the idea of an invisible god throwing eternal hurdles at his creation.

he may not have our best interests at stake, or he might be the only thing with our interests at stake.

the feeling of having to go along with him or else, reminds me of distrust.

we need to analyze and discuss these things because we are teaching our children from birth things about a being who never once shows up in real life, and people base uncountable life decisions off of these ideas about reality.

if god wants everone in heaven, what is stopping him? why present us with this fallen world that only exists to put people in the way of peril and danger, due to god letting the devil try and decieve us...

maybe there is no god and devil, and maybe we are fully responsible for every action and every one else.

stop thinking about the second comming and start thinking of babies in every country even america without food, homeless people, genocide, etc. cuz god aint gonna help until we are dead.
