The True Hell

I remember reading in the bible that Jesus himself denies being the son of god any more than anyone else.

Why anyone would want to adore and love a god who apparently plans to punish some people by excruciating torture throughout all the rest of eternity...is completely beyond me.

The worst psychopath that ever lived on Earth was never that disgusting.

But to each his/her own.

MY GUESS: These people who proclaim love for this barbaric god have about as much love for the god as the Iraqi people interviewed in the street before our invasion had the love they protested for Saddam Hussein.

How expansive. So you're saying that the christians who say they love their god are insane, disgusting and about as loving as Al Quaeda? Or, have I sorely misread you again?

Very Frank!

You have failed to understand the difference between the VERACITY and FEROCITY of God; the JUSTICE and JUDGMENT of God.

Do you agree with the Death Penalty?

I have no quarrel with the death penalty.

However, if someone suggested a punishment of keeping a person alive and subjecting them to excruciating, unrelenting torture for as long as possible...I would have lots of problems.

Anyone suggesting that kind of thing is a psychopath.

The god of your mythology, Bib, is a psychopath's psychopath.

If you accept the Death Penalty then why would you question God being able to execute people?

Assessment? What a laugh.

To which part of the Bible are you referring with respect to "unrelenting, excruciating torture throughout all the rest of eternity?"

Looks like you've seen too many stereotypical movies, or been heavily influenced by a hell-fire preacher.

And when did I state that I was a Christian?

Jumping to conclusions again, Frank.

Oh, you definitely have sorely misread me, Snood...but you do that all the time. You realize you cannot debate me on what I say...so you try to misrepresent it and then you argue against your misrepresentation.

In any case, to clarify...

...I am saying the Christians are doing the equivalent of the what the Iraqis who were interviewed in the street just before we invaded did. Covering their ass in the face of a mindlessly barbaric monster. Those Iraqis were all effusive in their protestations of love for Saddam Hussein...with several repeatedly kissing pictures of man.

The Iraqis were terrified of Saddam Hussein. He was scumbagh...a man who would regularly torture and kill people and relatives of people who crossed him or who did not enthusiastically support him.

The Christians who go on and on about how much they love this god...whom the Bible pretty much shows to be like Saddam Hussein...except missing all the nice aspects of Saddam Hussein...and being infinitely more barbaric, murderous, and petty....

...are, like the Iraqis...terrified of the god.

What the hell...if I thought that monster existed, I'd be terrified of it too.

The god, for one thing, does Saddam Hussein one better in the "I'll get ya if you f**k with me" department. Hussein would torture and kill the people who did. This god, according to the mythology, will subject them to excruciating torture throughout all the rest of eternity.

Not sure how to make that any plainer, Snood...but if you still have trouble with it...ask. Maybe someone can help me get it down to a level you can understand.

There was no pretense in my question - it was a simple question, one which clearly frightened you.
