If taking a close look at the bible convinced me that it was anything but inspired by a deity, the one belief of Christianity that put the final nail in the coffin for me was this whole idea of Hell.
Let's talk about Hell; let's take a look at this idea from God's point of view: so, God is working things out, He created mankind, He loves mankind, mankind good.
A&E made one little mistake, they were tricked actually, but no one said life was fair, so now all mankind has to suffer. "Yes, I like that; I don't care that they were the only two involved--besides Satan who will be dealt with--everyone suffers for their trespass from now on.
Let's see, no more everlasting life, that's out; they can just grow old, diseased, and die; I know.... pain during childbirth, a little something for the ladies, teach them to listen to Satan!
But, I don't want people saying that i'm a Schmoe; ok, ok, ok, ok, there will be salvation for those who follow my commandments, but those who don't will burn in Hell for all eternity. So it be written, so it be done."
Wow, eternal damnation, suffering, and torture in a pit of fire. Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is tough love.
What did i do to deserve that? Oh, humanity inherited this punishment from A&E.
I cannot refuse my inheritance, i have no choice?
So much for free will.
Well, making Satan mayor of Hellsville, now that was a stroke of genius. Speaking of the devil, it can't be easy being him; he must know that he will not win in the end. It's written in the bible: God will destroy Satan.
Who goes up against God, for heaven's sake?
