    If you were an all knowing all powerful god who supposedly loves everyone unconditionally, would you create a fiery pit and send people there for all eternity?

        I murdered 50 people. But then I found Jesus, so I’m going to heaven. This is fair.

      God never loved anyone unconditionally. My favorite Bible quote:

      Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me. …whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me. — Matthew 25:41–43 (NIV)

      He very explicitly hates selfish people. VERY specifically these people, spoken by Jesus, this group of people are damned to hell. Gays, never spoken of by Jesus, btw.

        Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried.

      The fiery pit/dante’s hell version doesn’t actually exist in the bible. The main thing about hell is you don’t experience god’s love/presence, which is weird but a lot better than an eternity of torture.

          People who think God has talked to them are just people who really sure about a thought they had

          I’m just referring to what’s in the bible, I’m agnostic. (Incidentally, I only became agnostic after reading the book of job)

        So why have churches been threatening their victims with hell for centuries? Could it be they all make it up as they go along?

        What about the post right above you?

        into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

        God’s love seems a little temperamental and reserved for some nasty people. I think I’m good on God’s love.

          Oh he is, but that post above is Mathew talking.

          The example Id use is the book of Job. Basically Satan and God conspire to make a faithful guy’s life horrible.
