Have you ever thought you're ripping off the world with your untrue message of Christianity?

I used to be a Christian too, and I used to feel that fury of "They cant believe in a loving God/ Who doesn't believe in atheists!!"

God gave us reason, not religion. Jesus of Nazareth was an amazing individual; the miraculous fabrications that have been added to his "factual accounts," however, are revolting.

Maybe there is a god, maybe there isn't (I personally believe it is logical to conclude that this universe is the result of Intelligent Design). But to ascribe to the belief of there being such an insecure god who felt it necessary to go to the extents of institutionalizing a heaven and hell for those who do and do not "accept" or "believe" in him is pretty humorous.

He didn't create Heaven and Hell for those who believe or don't believe in Him.If it were that way only Aethiests would go to Hell and Satan who commited the first sin would be in Heaven. He created Heaven for a haven for Him and the sinless to Live. He created Hell for the Fallen Angels who rebelled against Him. Humans may not have been sinless when the were created, but they were innocent. When they ate of the tree of Life they sinned against God. God is perfect and sinless and deserves no wrong against Him, yet everyday even...

Here is the problem: you do not go to Hell for failing to believe in Jesus. Humans are evil. It's that simple. We are so evil, that we shrug off evil as 'no big deal' when we should be sic. Because God is perfect, he is just. Because God is just, he cannot allow evil to go unpunished. Jesus is the only way in existence that one can "remove" sin. Thus, failing to believe in Jesus isn't the reason someone goes to Hell, it's just rejecting the only rope that could have gotten you out of the snake-pit.

@ Altonahk, I like that!
