Sorry bro, that's just how it is.

I recommend Scandinavian Hel.

Kind of a boring place, but Hel herself is actually fairly nice... so long as you stay on her good side.

It's really convenient how religion has maneuvered itself into a literally un-disprovable position since the vast majority of the God of the Gaps has been demolished.

It annoys me to no end.

Anyway, I don't like killing things, but the god of the Bible seems pretty horrid, so I guess I'll take one for the team.

By the way, you'd lose your status as an atheist the second you would meet him at the door.

God seldom intervenes in natural processes, at least not nowadays. In the Biblical days, He does intervenes a lot in Israel as well in the Acts. Miracles happened then, nowadays He does that very rarely, if ever.

That kind of people get the lightest punishment. The aborted unborn and young children go to Heaven because nowhere in the Bible is infant damnation found. Those who reject get the heaviest punishment.


THen the best thing you can do is make sure no one knows about Jesus. If that is the case then you are the ones who are making them go to hell.

I consider myself an agnostic atheist. But were I to believe in god, then no. I wouldn't kill it. God would exist in a plane far beyond our own understand, beyond any possible human comprehension, to the point where its very existence is irrelevant; and anyway, it weaves the cosmos as it wills, and we are barely particles in the scale of everything. So who am I to even ponder on the destruction of god? God would be something beyond everything; it would be everything. I don't think you can even hypothetically kill it.

God Never advoacted discrimination based on race, sex, culture, nationality, and religion.

Well, the majority of Christians do, and the general assumption in this thread (and in the OP, but the thread is more important) is that it's the Christian God at stake here.

A relative few being honoured doesn't do much to counteract the subjugation of women overall, and that's just sexism.
