if youre going to attempt to apply logic to religion, its going to get ugly fast.
what kind of asshole would punish anyone for 936qy for sex? a right cunt, thats who. welcome to christianity.
who would be dumb enough to worship a terrible thing like that?
That’s why the only take I have ever found that’s reasonable regarding religion goes a bit like this:
Hell is not real. Not in the literal sense, anyway. We all go to “heaven” or whatever afterlife it is, but we get a chance to reflect upon our entire lives. If you were a good person, then you may feel some regret for the harm you caused others, but you can generally feel satisfied with your previous existence. If you were a terrible person, you probably wouldn’t want to be around a being such as God, which, if he’s everything he’s cracked up to be, is the most “goodness” that ever good-ed. So by extension, your “hell,” your “separation from God,” would be the guilt that drives you away, by your own accord, despite his forgiveness, and not actually a sentence that you are condemned to.
I can see some merit to that thinking, at the very least it’s not completely unfair as we see with so many mainstream religious takes.
have ya read the bible? god kills more humans, and is severely, outright more sadistic than any entity in the entire book.
to read the bible is to hate religion.
but yeah, hes the most goodest. haha its some crazy shit!
Listen, if you believe that, then you also know that you just have to tell your local representative of Jesus that you did a bad and are really sorry and you’re back in the heaven club.
Or, you realize that the whole concept is nonsense and there is no heaven and no hell.
Either way, fucking is great and you should do it premaritally to the max extent. Just remember to use protection, kids!
I'm not the least bit concerned about the ramblings of bronze age goat herders.
Counterpoint: I heard another religion says if you don’t have sex, you’re getting tortured for 937 quadrillion years.
If we kill god, we solve both problems.
No Gods, only m
Fortunately both of those ifs are false
“If.”
The middle word in life
Also the middle of stupifaction
Well if your ifs are true heaven would be a pretty empty place. So might as well be in hell where almost all the people are.
I’m pretty sure it’s still worth it, even if your ifs are true
Is this one of those “how do you do fellow kids” accounts made by a very young looking , middle aged pastor attempting to infiltrate social media?
I don’t really understand this reply and why this is a shower thought.
But, I take it back. Clearly not a pastor or sermon. Sorry, my bad…

Later day saints theory is that good wouldn’t make you either for eternity, and eventually the sin would burn away and you’d return to nothing.
Then all the really hard mofos like Stalin would joke around with the other damned about how you were too much of a pussy to last in hell.
And masturbating makes you blind too, I’m not blind, now fuck off
I don’t know, my glasses are pretty thick.
good thing your mother stopped practicing - as of last night 😎
Hail Satan!
Satan just wants all the cool people for his ethernal sex orgy in hell.
Even worse, heaven is a never ending church service. An eternity of God fellation, as if that isn't torture as well.
IF the ramblings of the deranged are true… these are the same folks putting kids back in factories and praying to skydaddy when anything bothers them.
This post is embarrassingly ignorant and you should be ashamed.
So… was it a serious statement intended to promote discussion, or just a joke?
You can’t play both teams.
The “I was just kidding bro” makes this even sadder. Are you ok?

This is one of those things that make me question anyone who still follows religion.
How exactly is it fair, just, or right to torture a soul for 1*10¹⁰⁰⁰⁰ years for mistakes they made over an ~80 year time span?
Any God that acts like a vindictive child isn’t a god worthy of worship.

Oh wow, realize people were down voting this so heavily, it seemed glaringly obvious to me that the title was tongue-in-cheek and wasn’t meant to be taken literally.
