[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God seems to get the best job performance reviews.  He gets credit for all the good stuff and the bad things are just part of "his plan".[/quote]

You gotta give him credit for the good stuff. He gets really mad if you don't.  Remember - he is the boss.  He is rating us, not the other way around.[/quote]

He's rating us?

So that's how this god thing works?

Let's pit one person against another to see who's the better person!

ridiculous, fear-based bullshit[/quote]

God is not actually rating us, as in keeping score and having a cut off for who gets to heaven and who doesn't.  You don't need a certain amount of points to get into heaven - it's much easier than that.  You just have to accept Christ as your savior to avoid God's punishment and open yourself to his love.

If you're really not sure you believe, just say you do. It's to your own benefit. God might let you in for being willing to play along and hedge your bets.    If you're arrogant about it and it turns out you're wrong, then you go to hell for eternity. The other option is that life just ends, the way it does for all other living things who don't have the mental capacity for story telling or trying to control the behavior of other members of their species.  But why take a chance?[/quote]

Who's arrogant here?

If an atheist works to benefit humanity - works with children in foster care, for example, or treats victims of abuse - that person will end up in hell for eternity.

Yet the child rapist who chooses to believe right before his death will spend eternity with God, yes?

I love fairy tales.  I hope yours ends on a happy note!  [/quote]
