If you don’t love me…
“Religion has actually convinced people... that there's an invisible man... living in the sky... who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of TEN THINGS HE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO DO. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
...But He loves you."
-George Carlin

What god?
Zeus always was a jerk!
The best part of polytheistic religions is how relatable the gods are. One is a jerk, another the unloved child. Dad sleeps around, and Mom is either super forgiving, or runs Hell.
A major one
Oh...
To be fair, the (Christian) Bible doesn't say you have to love God, only to ask forgiveness. Like you can be the biggest piece of shit on Earth, but if you apologize to God on your deathbed, it's cool.
What a system, it encourages bad behaviour and gives you an easy solution out? That's why it's fucked.
"Ask for" is a low bar, "geuinely be sorry" isnt, i think most cristians repent for big stuff in the same way they would to the negbor for running over his cat.
Only if there's a priest there to hear it! 👆
Jesus died so we don't need priests anymore 😊
Love that the creator of the universe is so fucking proud that it has to hurt itself in some weird masochistic ritual rather than admit that the creation wasn't perfect.
Martin Luther has this one weird trick to get forgiveness from God, and the Catholic church hates him!
No. It's because Christians are programmed from infancy to believe stupid things.
In nicer words, yes. So many have lied in gods name and his book requires framing of some shape or form to get any meaning out. Even if that framing's just "it's some stories people wrote". Problem is poisoned framings.
Some would protest that hell isn’t really talked about in the Bible. But it sure is on every single page of the Koran.
It’s mentioned quite a few times in psalms and proverbs, and Isaiah. And in Job and 2 Samuel, and deuteronomy.
Also, Jesus described what modern Christian’s consider hell. ‘Cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth’
True, but the main imagery that we as modern westerners have of "hell" is mostly from Dante's Inferno.

I always that that was a religious leader made up thing
Can someone share specifically where it says that in the bible?
Good being fair, compassionate, or good is not nearly as important as his being real.
If it's creepy when he says it why isn't it creepy when she says it?
Did you just assume that gender!?! Jeez, dude. It's 2023.
Why isn't it creepy when she xe says it?
