Now, Baldy, I've read your last posts in which you state, I take this to apply to myself as well, that the people who do not embrace Jesus and hate god, will go to hell.
By "The Great Pumpkin In The Sky", boy, we do not hate any god, we're just indifferent to them as we believe that they are man invented creatures at best.
Christianity, of course, has been greatly beneficial as well as greatly detrimental to the world.
Western world laws are (although some bastarts are tinkering with them these last few decades) based on the Christian rules for living. Most western people are satisfied that our democratic western laws are reasonably easy to live with (don't kill, don't steal, love your parents, you know the drill).
Without Christianity we would not have had science and ultimately no EV's, no airplanes (9/11), which brings us to the detrimental side and further to the Inquisition and the crusades.
You see, you got to take the good with the bad.
Christianity is very valuable to a great many folks, who believe in their God and I don't blame them nor call them fools. They are just people who have a different look at the world than we have.
Very valuable for many believers are the other great faiths Islam, Bhuddism, Hinduism (although these have a kind of "Troy" leading them presently) etc.
Many of us are happy to let most people live their lives in whatever way and religion that pleases them.
I believe in the Great Pumpkin and when I pass on, the Great Pumpkin follows me.
That's harmless for Him, me and the rest of humanity.
Your particular god and I mean "your personal god" (much different from the one I know from my Christian origens) is an evil one. Your god excludes billions of people, throughout the eons of humankind, to hell.
You are one of the many prophets of who is known, by me, as Lucifer.
Get it into your head Baldy, that we do not hate any God, except, naturally, your personal one.
We don't care too much for haters of your ilk.
Being a kind person in nature, I wish you a nice day and also that you will
have fun.
If the monotheistic God is man made at best then you should be able to solve this problem in which if there was your alleged infinite regress of cause and effects of nature, by that definition, you would have had an eternity to come into being before now, so you should have already happened. Since you can't solve this problem, you are lost in your own stupidity and hostility against God. Many of the greatest monotheistic scientists like Aristotle and Einstein disagree with you. All of Christianity is 100% good and perfect. It is God's redemptive design and you can't beat it. Just think of the evil you hold onto with your best atheist buddies. Hitler killed 30 million (strongest survive), Stalin atheist killed 40 million and atheist Mao killed 60 million. Truths do no contradict themselves. So you can't say these religions you cite, including your world view, are viable and plausible. For example, you can't come along 6 centuries later and claim Jesus never died on the cross without any evidence to overturn the plethora of data points of proof Jesus died and was seen alive from the dead in various group settings by the Apostles. Hinduism is false because their god is considered "amoral" and reincarnation is works based. How can God have morals less than His created? Buddhism is sugar coated atheism. So you see only Christianity prevails. You have the free choice to live the way you want, but the problem is you are a sinner and sin leads to death and the second death which is an eternal separation from God. Since Jesus is God and died for your sins and there is no other name under heaven by which one can be saved, you are going to Hell. I am grateful to God you are not going to Heaven and you belong in Hell, since it would be torturous to endure your stupidity for eternity. God says you will be forgotten in Hell. So onward and upward we have many great blessings and experiences in Heaven, and the the thought of you in Hell won't even cross our mind for a second as it should be. God is personal. How can God be less than us by being not personal? We are personal beings. We are not robots or Calvinists. The only faith that God is personal is Christianity, by entering His creation to atone for sins. No other religion does this because all other religions are based on works; but we are not saved by works lest anyone should boast. This is the God of the Bible. Now not everyone is a Christian just because they say they are. Only those who receive what Jesus did for them on the cross. An aspect of the Kingdom of Heaven is "Christendom" and in Christendom you have a great many souls who appear to be Christians but are not. Only a very small percentage of alleged believers are actually true believers. Think of the size of the New City which is 1379 x 1379 miles in Rev. 21. Perhaps half the size of USA or the full size of India. I guess 1 billion could comfortably fit in that space. Roughly speaking let's say 50 billion souls existed since Adam and another 250 billion souls will be born in the millennial kingdom. That's 300 billion souls. If only 1 billion are saved, that puts the savings ratio at 1 in 300. When you see it according to the Bible's teaching you realize in Christendom very few are actually saved. The ball game, if you will, being played here is quite different than you imagine Christianity to be. Gnosticism is an evil religion. It teaches that this universe was created by not the ultimate God but an evil god. In Christianity, however, God would never allow His creation to be pawned off by an absentee landlord. God is fair and just. Yes, you go to Hell (easy call), because you don't want God's saving grace. You are too selfish and self-involved, self-centered and self-exalting. It's funny how fools such as yourself taken upon themselves Lucifer making him the opposite of what he truly is. If Lucifer exists then you are conceding a teaching of the Bible.
