The cruel horrors of burning forever in hell seem almost like a blessing compared to the cruel horrors humanity has always imposed upon itself in the pursuit of pleasing one God or another, in order to reach one heaven or another.
If humanity was a single person, different cultures would be like different personalities, with religion being a particularly rigid personality compared to all the others, then it’s as if our wars are like humanity cutting itself, and always because our religious personality tells us we are unworthy of love and deserving of punishment, in the form of a story we keep telling ourselves about how we crucified our God for which we all deserve to rot in hell.
And the same religion, or personality of ours, that convinces us we deserve hell for killing Christ, promises us that only the same God we murdered can forgives us, but only as long as we remain completely emotionally dependent upon him for our entire life, or more specifically his demonstrably fallible church, and intend to addict our children to that same emotional dependence as well.
Talk about a brilliant plan!
