@Andreyich Oh hey, it's nice to see you again in this thread. What have you been up to? Allegedly attending more rallies that you conveniently leave before you can provide evidence that you were present?
[insert strawman] try again

I just like to debate.
My issue with god could be perfectly summed up in this picture. I mean, it's like she took the words right out of my mouth.

While she raises a good point, there's always another option. Maybe God doesn't give a shit. Maybe God looks at us the same way we look at microbes or domesticated animals. Maybe the Big Bang lagged God's computer so hard, they have no idea that any of this shit is happening, and they're floating around shouting profanities at the infinite void while they wait for the customer support hotline to take them off hold.
Not that I'd worship God, no matter what their reasoning is. After all, why the hell would a being capable of creating the universe want or need a mere primate on a hypersonic lavaball to shower it with praises?
Soooo...you basically believe in Purgatory then?
I don't really think you can use those as examples since, as far as I know, none of them believe Christ is the Son of God who sacrificed himself to save us all from our sins. Pretty sure they just consider him to be a very wise teacher. Though I could be wrong.
Which part if I may ask? The part where I don't believe in a separate immortal soul or something else?
Wait, so are you trying to say here that God, has forgiven everybody and will therefore save everybody despite whatever choices or decisions they make? Even if they outright reject God and want nothing to do with him?
So all of humanity has no choice in the matter but to be forced to follow God and live forever no matter what they do in the here and now?
Way to make freedom of choice completely irrelevant and pointless, if that were the case then everyone is free to do whatever they want at whatever price with no consequences except for what happens to them on this Earth.
In your opinion. Though I will say my opinions are very different from the mainstream Christian to be sure, but I still consider myself a Christian because I follow Christ.
You can still enjoy the fascinating discussion of how people are doing Iron Age cult practice wrong.
But enough about Sweden's migrant policy.
Funny thing here is I completely agree with you for the most part. The doctrine of hell itself is flawed and 'hell' only exists where sinful people make it. So essentially Earth in its current form is our 'hell'. Also there is no such thing as an 'after-life', there is only life and death, the spark of life or nothingness. There is a resurrection where the dead are brought back to life but it is not as separate entities called souls, but as a complete person. A 'living' soul is a flesh and blood person, not some formless thing trapped in our bodies.
God is so compassionate and understanding, that he is willing to look past anything people do if they truly want to accept and follow him and follow through on that promise. He is also compassionate enough to allow his creations to not choose him and go their own way, but as God himself is the source of all life, the natural consequence of that is death. If someone hates God so completely that living forever in his presence would be their own version of 'hell', God will not take their free will away but instead accept their decision and let them go.

God will not give people immortality if it would only bring them misery.
