I really don't know

[Fyxen]

yeah same here most of my family is Christian and i still love them
but i just don't understand why out of all the gods and goddesses out there they choose this Jesus guy...
when i see Christianity i see this guy that had things that the others didn't so he became all powerful
and gave his followers specific rules to follow or else.
and i just don't see the point of a religion like that
but hey if it makes them happy why stop them?

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Fyxen, your threadjack is weak, old man.

:Jedi wave: this is not the board you are looking for!

You really want to know?  Because the Christ message is a perfect con.

"Your life sucks, I know... but it's a test.  If you become obedient and endure your suffering, you will be rewarded in heaven.  The more your life sucks, the better off you'll be later.  Trust me."


Those on the bottom are able to cope with their misery without complaint, and those on the top can easily run the show.

Like some huge, sick conspiracy?

[LMNO]

It's worse than a conspiracy... because everyone buys into it.

[Fyxen]

oh my god your right 
fuck wow

[BadBeast]

Yeah, so how are we going to hide from the scary Angels, when they Rapture everyone, so we don't have to go where they go?

[Fyxen]

we fuckin shoot all the evil angels its easy.
we just need really good guns  

[BadBeast]

I meant the supposedly "good" Angels, you numpty!

[Fyxen]

yeah i know we shoot them too.
then just nothing happens and they are proved wrong.

[BadBeast]

Way to prove a point. And there are a whole host of them due to arrive to finalise the eschaton, once and for all. Your puny weapons will be useless. Michael's Elite Seraphim Commandos are the Stormtroopers of Jehovah. And it is written that none shall prevail against the Host of Heaven. So it's hide, or burn forever in the Lake of fire with Lucifer and his rebellious Angels. Or join the happy clappers for an Eternity in mind numbing pious boredom.

[Fyxen]

well fuck shit 
guess I'm staying with Lucifer

oh wait i don't have to as fun as that sounds 
I'm immune cause I'm not a Christian.

or at least i view it that way.

[Freeky]

Oh, didn't you hear? The rapture happened a few years ago; some dude and his family on a farm in Illinois were taken up to heaven. Apparently no one else qualified.

[BadBeast]

So all that bollocks about fiery Lakes and burning for all eternity was a bit wide of the mark then?
Prophetic License even?

[Salty]

Oh, I dunno. If I had a choice between Lake of Eternal Fire or living in a world where people WANT to and DO sing Taylor Swift at karaoke I'd get myself a nice pair of asbestos trunks.

I've often thought this IS hell because things can always get worse.
