Are religions are trying to take over the school systems? Which religions are attempting that?How soon do you expect all this to happen? When (and what) religions are trying to take over the public school system? What are they doing right now that affects any local school in your area?
Besides here online, where else (and when) are you hearing all this talk of hell?
Not a good comparison. Prison is referred to as a place of rehabilitation. Hell is not even that . . .Hell is a choice. A comparison might be, Are people condemned to prison, or is it their chose behavior that lands them there.
No.God uses the threat of eternal pain to coerce obedience.
No analogy is perfect. However, what is valid is that one's behavior and choices determines whether one is in prison. How many do you think choose prison to be rehabilitated?Not a good comparison. Prison is referred to as a place of rehabilitation. Hell is not even that . . .
The point is that when you've paid your debt to society, you get out of prison. When is the debt to the god paid? Never! The ones in Hell are not paying a debt. Their unending suffering is for the purpose of satisfying a loving, holy being.No analogy is perfect. However, what is valid is that one's behavior and choices determines whether one is in prison.

You are addressing a second point, not the original point. The original point is that just as one's behavior and choices lead to prison, so it is one's choice that leads to hell.The point is that when you've paid your debt to society, you get out of prison.
Shrug. Does one choosing not to have to love anyone else, serve them, show them justice, mercy, and forgiveness, lead to a choice of unending suffering? Some may decide that is less hassle and less suffering than having to love and serve others for all eternity.Their unending suffering is for the purpose of satisfying a loving, holy being.
I am not questioning my own sanity. Are you questioning yours?You're being gaslighted . . .
If God "uses the threat of eternal pain to coerce obedience, then I would've realized soon enough." Instead, my belief has become deeper to being able to say I am 1000% positive from the Bible. I know that the disbelievers like you will end up being punished in the afterlife.If the god exists and is intelligent, it probably made up the story about how its own creation made it so mad that it drowned all of them and now sentences modern people to eternal torture for not loving it. And the reason it made the story up was to separate the thinkers from nonthinkers. Good thing it did, too, because lots of nonthinkers have no problem believing blasphemous things about it simply because it's written in a book.
God loves you.

It's silly to argue about things that are. If you jump for an 11th-story building, your fate is sealed. Your chance to change your mind was over the moment you jumped. You had plenty fo chances before that, but choose not to to take them. It's the same with death. That's the point of no return. Up to then, you can repent. It's all up to you. Don't blame God for your decision.The point is that when you've paid your debt to society, you get out of prison. When is the debt to the god paid? Never! The ones in Hell are not paying a debt.

I don't blame the god for my decision. I blame it for creating creatures, then blaming the creatures for their inherent flaws. And on top of that, I blame it for its vengeful nature which causes it to inflict endless suffering upon those who reject its "love." When you attribute a characteristic like that to a being of love, you expose your perverted sense of love.Don't blame God for your decision.
Why do you ignore the fact that you are the one who initiates the rejection with God, and you are the one who creates the suffering? The decision is totally yours. That's why your complaining makes no sense.I don't blame the god for my decision. I blame it for creating creatures, then blaming the creatures for their inherent flaws.

Why do you worship a terrorist type being like that?
No. I am not the one managing the torture-dungeon. That place is created, owned, and operated by the loving god as payback for those who rejected its love. The god chose that reaction to being jilted. Only an unevolved ego type responds to disappointment in such a way.. . . you are the one who creates the suffering?
I think there's something of a sociopathic personality type that uses a character in a book to level not so subtle threats against others.Why do you ignore the fact that you are the one who initiates the rejection with God, and you are the one who creates the suffering?

Why do you keep calling it a "threat?" It's a warning.I think there's something of a sociopathic personality type that uses a character in a book to level not so subtle threats against others.
Because He is not like that...far from it.Why do you worship a terrorist type being like that?
False. For the third time, eternal separation from God is a decision a person makes. No one else is responsible. It's a silly as complaining about the sun rising in the morning. What is, IS.No. I am not the one managing the torture-dungeon. That place is created, owned, and operated by the loving god as payback for those who rejected its love.
