 Any belief in a God is necessarily inseparable from a future state the person imagines for themself.

This is why the idea of a "God" is always paired with the word "good," regardless of whether the plan for the future includes suffering.

A future state in heaven, since heaven cannot be defined in any concrete terms, is therefore always detached from any logic or rational experience or even expectation. 

Instead, all "beliefs" in the Christian God are based solely on a hope in a future state of being that is purely emotional, not rational. And it is emotional because the "believer" always imagines themselves in a state in the future in which they are free of the worries they suffer from in this life. 

Among those worries, the foremost is the fear of hell and punishment and sin and feeling rejected by God. 

Heaven, as such, is a wishful place in which all of the suffering of this life, whether from aging and dying to suffering endlessly in the next life, have been removed. 

The problem with the Christian is they are devoted to believing such suffering can never be avoided in this life, at least not with engaging or depending on the pleasures of sin to distract them, even though they are surrounded by people who avoid the suffering of both the former and the latter.

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...

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...
