Have you tried reasoning with a machine? Have you tried to doscuss with a computer program?
I never discuss to religous people..they are like machines wth programs in their main cpu with no thinking and analyzing ability. Then why would i bother myself
Nothing. Maybe a shrug. No biggie to me. I don't believe that stupidity. So I just move on.
Depends, but it might go something like this:
Them: "You're going to hell."
Me: "Judge not, lest ye be judged."
Them: "I'm not judging you! God is judging you!"
Me: "Then why is that passage even in the bible? What does it mean, and why is it in there?"
Them: ...
Them: ...
lol...thats a good one. Ill have to work that into my rhetoric, if you don't mind!
Bring it on!
Then I realize they live with these fears as reality, and I feel sorry for them.
Even from a religion standpoint hell is there only for manipulation. All verses that translate to hell are Either Gethsemane, Hades or Tartarus.
Gethsemane is a garden near Jerusalem.
Hades is the afterlife of Greek Mythology.
Tartarus is Hades' basement.
So unless you are afraid of olives or Zeus, the concept is there to "scare" people into obedience. Tragic that it worked so well people still have nightmares today.
People tend to throw insults and threats that they fear themselves. Trump calls people stupid and dishonest, when he fears it is true of himself. People scream hell when they fear they will join you there.
I worry a lot more about heat from global warming than I do from hellfire.
It makes me laugh inside and feel sorry for them
A friend told me if you don't believe in God you're going to hell. It really hurt. I talked to her about it. She apologized, but I lost a littler respect for her. She said she went to hell.smh.
Even now she probably believes it, indoctrination is real.
This one is so easy . Only Christians can go to Hell . According to your Bible , God created the angles . Then Lucifer , one of God's favorites , rebelled , and God caste him from heaven . God created Hell . If there is no God , then he couldn't have created Hell . Therefore , I can't go there .
Laugh my ass off. Then certainly make up a version of Hell that would devastate them; and tell them that is where my beliefs send them.
If it were on Facebook I would probably write something like "That's so cute!!"
Not much. It doesn't happen much to me. I see the expression as nonsense and them as stupendously ignorant zombies.
I don’t respond anyone who knows me knows that not a safe tactic
Heaven is the reward, hell is the punishment so the concept of heaven and hell are about religion's attempt at control. People that threaten with religious punishment are trying to control with fear. My response is very simple, Your beliefs are your beliefs, mine are mine.
