The Heaven & Hell on Earth

It is rather incredible that all those who think they deserve to live in an eternal paradise with the creator of the universe, and all because they "behaved" like good human beings were told to during their life (as if they were essentially dogs), are also perfectly okay with the idea that there are any number of people who will, at the same time, be burning in hell for all of eternity - some of whom they will most likely know and care about, and perhaps even one of their own parents or children.

That such "believers" never seem to care if people will be roasted alive for all eternity, in an oven created by the very "loving God" they claim to worship and adore, is perhaps one of the greatest "miracles" religion has ever performed. And it is a miracle, because religion has apparently succeeded in never letting such a thought enter the mind of the Christian. Or where such a thought has entered, it has placated the "believer" using the very same kind of justifications for such eternal torments, that any number of serial killers or genocidal dictators have used for inflicting similar such suffering, only on a finite scale.

Hence, for a person to "believe" they will go to heaven, means they hope to spend eternity with a God who has created a place where their own children will suffer in unimaginable torture for all eternity. And it is this same God they celebrate every Sunday, whom they pray to endlessly, and who they insist "loves" us all.

Of course, they explain all of this to themselves, and anyone who sees such a setup as being a kind of spiritual Stockholm Syndrome, by naturally blaming the "unbelievers," who all apparently and knowingly, misused their God given reason and free will to arrive at the very kinds of conclusions that would only guarantee they should burn forever in hell for reaching.

Or worse, the Christian will at times suggest that perhaps no one is in hell, as has been argued by some priests and pastors. But if this is the case, then why should anyone become a Christian at all?

To capture such an idea in terms of the world we know, the Christians who seek to live in heaven forever are essentially all hoping to live the lavish lifestyle of Donald Trump, with Donald Trump, while being utterly convinced that all those who are suffering the most in the world - from disease, poverty, war, famine, crime and all the rest - simply deserve it.

Why Christianity is More Unnatural Than Homosexuality

I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves  that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian").  The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God." They interpret their fear of those who are different, in other words, as simply proof of their intimate knowledge and love of God. And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma

Christianity: An Addiction of Violence Masquerading as Love: Part II

"But God by nature must love Himself supremely, above all else." Fr. Emmet Carter   This is part  two of a look at an article written about the "restorative and medicinal" properties of punishment, as espoused by Fr. Emmett Carter (https://catholicexchange.com/gods-punishment-is-just-restorative-and-medicinal/).  Ideas of this sort in Christianity go back to St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas - two saints who saw the suffering of Christ as sure fire evidence that God needed humans to suffer to balance the cosmic scales of his love for us. Sure, he could've come up with a better game, or made better humans, but its apparently the suffering he really enjoys seeing. Carter's essay raises countless questions, especially about the true nature of God's blood lust, but lets stick to just four simpler ones. The first question deals with the idea of "free will." According to Christians, God designed us with the ability to freely choose to obey or offend h

Christianity: An Addiction of Violence Masquerading as Love: Part I

If the Holy Bible proves anything at all, it proves that the Christian God has a blood-lust like no other God in history. From Abraham to Jesus to the end times to eternal hell, the Christian God loves suffering even more than, or at least as much as, said God loves Himself. And if everything from the genocides in the Old Testament and God killing everyone on the planet with a flood, to Jesus being tortured and murdered (rather than the devil, who is the guilty one) and the fiery end of the world followed by the never ending fires of hell, are not enough to convince you that Christianity is really an addiction to violence masquerading as "love," just consider the psychotic rantings of a Catholic priest trying to convince his faithful flock that murder and mutilation - which he calls "punishment" -  are proof of just how much his "God" is pure love.  In an article published on https://catholicexchange.com/gods-punishment-is-just-restorative-and-medicinal/,
