Lets say for a second that that was true.
I'd rather spend eternity in hellfire than spend eternity with that kind of God.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not sure if you’re at all familiar with the Abrahamic god, Yehweh/Jehova/Allah, or if you’ve read the Bible, but that heaven isn’t so great, either. It’s all worship and singing praises for eternity. Ew.
Those bronze-age myth-writers sure had a lot of imagination when it came to devising eternal torments, but when it came to describing their idea of eternal bliss, they really dropped the ball. 
I prefer Greek bronze-age myth writers for tales of the afterlife. "You can harvest THREE TIMES A YEAR, the weather is always pleasant, and best of all, the gods stay away! What a perfect life!"
yeah, the Underworld seemed like a fascinating place to adventure through, too.
ya know, a good place to get away from the wife. with just your buddies. together. for 20 years… ;P
It’s all worship and singing praises for eternity. Ew.
I'm 100% convinced Satan is actually super chill and "hell" is really the place you want to go for a good time, the Bible also only has the perspective of God is good, Satan Bad. Where's Satan's perspective?
From a fundamentalist standpoint, the vast majority of scientists who ever lived will be going to hell because they don't believe. With an endless supply of heat to provide energy, you better believe they already installed air conditioning.
Bit where would they put the heat that they pulled out of the now cooled room? If it's hotter on the 'outside' of the AC than the coils of the condenser then it has no way to shed that energy...
I think we need a hell's energy adjustment taskforce (HEAT) to address this issue. Perhaps offering free heat pumps to the surface dwellers would be a start and make for a good PR move.
In buildings. Heat pumps are amazingly efficient, and pumping hot air from inside to outside (or the other way around) is something we've been doing for generations.
It’s really hard, tbf. Perfection is impossible.
Tax churches then, since god can't keep his mouth shut
Put not your trust in princes or sons of men, in whom there is no salvation. His breath departs, he returns to the earth. On that very day his plans perish.
Can we have a rush order on that breath departing thing?
These aren't his plans. These are the plans of smarter, more capable men. Organizations like the Heritage Foundation don't go away easily.
It’s like something from a b or z movie
More media fear-mongering that makes you piss your pants? You shouldn't have.
No, I mean it. You really, REALLY shouldn't have. I'm running out of underpants.
