And I did: A parody religion makes MORE SENSE that your brutal, death-loving cult.
My religion is the only mainstream faith that destroys, demons, sin, Satan, and even death itself in the end. My religion brings the sad tale of destruction, misery, and death to an end and restarts the entire universe to be the garden of Eden it was originally meant to be and this time without the element that caused it to go so wrong in the first place. There is no greater an enemy of death than my faith.
Romans 8:38-39
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:51-57
Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
The bolded part is one of my favorite versus and complete contradicts your pathetic caricature of Christianity.
John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
25 Comforting Bible Verses about Death and Dying in Christ
I could keep quoting these disproof's of your ridiculous characterization of my faith but you probably won't even bother to read the few I did post. with or without my faith we have death and suffering but only with my faith do we have complete victory over both. Yet you want to banish the cure. Do you even read the stuff you say, I know you don't read what I post or the bible?
I suppose this is because the parody was written in modern times, whereas yours was written back when nobody understood where the sun goes at night.
Most of the bible was written hundreds of years after Euclidean geometry was understood. However claiming something is wrong because it is old is the same kind of genetic fallacy all teenager suffer from.
So it's understandable your religion is brutal, nasty and short: just like life was back then.
You are kind of right about this. Life was harsh (though the threat of nuclear war and industrialized abortion is no pick nick either) millennia ago and the bible is large part simple history so of course it contains tales of horror. My God didn't sit on Olympus aloof to our suffering and travails he entered into the same suffering we all do and triumphed through it. He took the worst acts men do to men and turned it into a victory that will end similar events for all time.
LMAO! So valuable that if they didn't shower your god with adoration, he would torture them for all eternity.
So valuable your god thought nothing of drowning the earth because the children were disobedient.
That's "value" all right: Pond Scum has more worthiness.
God never destroyed a culture because they didn't shower him with adoration. What religion are you talking about. As for the flood God considered the antediluvians so valuable that even though "their thought were evil at all times" he spent hundreds of years trying to get them to repent and even offered passage on the ark for anyone who would but take it but they (like you) simply refused to believe. He even severed his perfectly loving relationship with his son as he suffered on the cross to pay for the sins of the worst among us. Again you can't possibly value anything higher than the price God paid to redeem even the worst of us if we would but accept it.
Do you realize your not even trying to make arguments anymore. Your entire posts are nothing but rants and complaints that are usually based on ignorance of the faith your trying to hard to impugn. There are no facts in here to counter.
Here? You have 100% departed from what your bible said. But that's hardly surprising.
Without an example it is hard to agree or disagree.
You rarely back up your statements with what is printed in the bible.
Why would I quote (even though I have quite a few times) to quote from a book you don't know anything about yet hate? If you would actually make an argument about a biblical event maybe then a verse would be appropriate but you still wouldn't take the time to consider it. Your the bottom end of the debate barrel.
Even your Jesus described "constant torment" -- created by YOUR GOD.
The type of language usually used to describe hell is called apocalyptic imagery. It's usually analogies used to indicate the seriousness of what is lost by going to hell. Heck most of it is based on the valley of Gahanna where Jerusalem burned it's refuse from the city around the clock. But I never even hinted that Hell was free from torment. My understanding of Hell is that right now it is a real place. It's a place where God nor anything God comes with (love, peace, etc...) exists. Like I said it is complete separation from God which is exactly what atheists seem to seek out with all their might. However I believe that Hell is eventually destroyed and all it's contents (unbelievers) are annihilated for eternity. You want a verse backing this up here you go:
The Final Judgment
…13The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead, and each one was judged according to his deeds. 14
Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death — the lake of fire. 15And if anyone was found whose name was not written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.…
Or
New International Version
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
These verses destroy your positions. They show that in the end death itself is destroyed and that Hell (at least eventually) is the annihilation of the unbeliever. Annihilation being the only place a person can be separated from an omnipresent deity.
I can throw verses at you till they come out your ears but I don't you know what in the world you should do wit them. You honestly seem to have a pre-Sunday school understanding of the religion your trying so hard to trash.
For the EXPRESS PURPOSE of torturing anyone who doesn't "love him back".
For the express purpose of separating those who want God from those who don't. Again, in the end both sides get exactly what they want.
AGAIN! FSM FOR THE WIN. Superior in every way that matters.
There is not enough substance to the utterly absurd FSM to even judge. He wrote no books, saved no humans, sent no prophets, revealed nothing to the human heart. Not even those that invented this silly idea believe in it. Your going to die regardless you can hope in the FSM and I will hope in the risen Lord. I think me and my billions of brothers are in better hands than your tiny band of intellectually shipwrecked buffoons. I even give the poor Muslims better chances than you have.
Oh! That was your SERIOUS consideration?
No, that was my not finding anything worthy of seriously considering. Half the time I don't even know your being serious with your self.
I was laughing so hard, I though you were being a parody of your usual posts... !
What does that even mean?
