And Jesus was a nice young man, if he ever existed, but if there is a hell, it’s part of god’s plan and whoever is goin’, is goin’… and there ain’t nobody gonna change that ’cause otherwise there’s no point in its existence.
Can’t be no heaven without a hell, can’t be no god without the devil. If this “god” character didn’t need to define his existence then he wouldn’t have created the ultimate foil. (Have some sympathy for the devil. He is the ultimate “fall man,” after all.)
I blame my fear of hell on my religious upbringing. Seems no amount of education and clear-headed reasoning can destroy that little bit of superstitious suspicion left in the darkest corner of my mind.
Im not an atheist because I don’t like God ITS HIS FAN CLUB THAT DESTROYED MY LIFE AND OUTLOOK. Raised beligerantly Lutheran, became depressed, insane, and afraid of just about everything. Who needs Satan when you have God?
I love the painting used here!! I saw it in a museum once and I can’t remember the name of it! Can anyone tell me?? This bugs me so much because I haven’t seen that painting in 5 years and I can’t remember what it’s called!
Can’t say for sure, but it looks like Bosch (the last judgment, maybe?). Maybe not, but if you like it, you should look up Bosch anyway. You’d love his work.
As an atheist, I find the fact that you call religion shit, offensive. Frankly, it’s partially because of people like you that society deems atheists as “aggressive and irrational”. Show a little intelligence and maturity. Even if you find their faith delusional, it’s what they believe and you should respect that.
I don’t mean to be insensitive but if you believe in Satan and hell, you aren’t really an atheist. I know it seems as though I am missing the point but you need to straighten out your own beliefs before you go around announcing it. If you believe in a hell, by all means, make yourself happier by making your life worthy of going to ‘heaven’. With the corruption of some churches today, you should not let anyone tell you that you are definitely going to hell. Gain some confidence and you’ll be able to cope with and enjoy life more.
I’m the same as the post secret sender. Theres always that fear that your wrong. It’s not a matter of changing your beliefs or straightening out your life, its the simple fact that you could be wrong. I know a few Christians who wonder themselves if they are believing in the right one, who wonder if their faith is wrong. Everyone has doubts. Its just harder/bigger doubt when you dont believe in anything.
I’ve constantly said that I don’t believe in God. I say its because its not fair that murders and rapists can repent and be let into heaven, just because they’re sincere. I’ve also said that if there is a god he shouldn’t care if you dedicated your life to him, if you’ve lived a good life. I’m terrified that if I change my mind, and I give my life to him, that he’ll use my past thoughts against me and I’ll watch the murderer of my aunt walk in before me.
It says in the Bible that nothing is good if it is not done for God. It also says that when we believe and repent He will never reject us, and we are cleaned every time we ask for forgiveness. It’s by God’s grace that we are forgiven and saved, it wouldn’t be perfect grace if we weren’t truly saved.
But God proves His love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ dies for us. Romans 5:8
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in be will never be thirsty… and whoever comes to me I WILL NEVER DRIVE AWAY.” John 6:35,37
His love for you is too great to fathom.
I know this is pretty late since it’s 2009 and all, but still….I will be praying for you. Maybe try praying yourself. Having someone to talk to is nice.
i’m an atheist because there’s no evidence.
HOWEVER, I think this person’s philosophy is: I’m a bad person/ I’ve done bad things now I’m scared just in case…
Just my opinion don’t shoot me down haha religion is a touchy subject wherever you go!
I was always afraid of going to Hell when I was growing up. Everytime I tried to be saved it left me filled with emptiness, not love. I never felt a thing no matter how sincere I was. If there is a god some people are probably just picked from birth to go to Hell regardless of how they feel or what they do. If there isn’t a God, then it just stands to reason that I felt unchanged.
The only thing that is keeping me alive is a singer who lives over 4,000 miles away in Finland, thank you Ville Valo. 3 days ago
I got up at 5:00 in the morning to go out hauling with you, not because I like lobster, but because I like you. Take the hint! 3 days ago
I had sex with my ex-boyfriend, to verify his homosexuality. I can't decide if that makes me slutty or just a good friend... 4 days ago
Im gay but I dnt know what to do cuz if theres hell i dnt wanna be in it. A girl kissed me when i was 9, Im 19 now but im lonely n confused. 4 days ago
I HATE YOU. I'm married to a wonderful, adoring person 4 days ago
It doesn’t have to happen like that. Hell is for an eternity, but you still have hope here and His name is Jesus. I’ll be praying for you.
I do that too.

Of all the secrets I have ever read on here, this one fits me the most.

I worship the God you speak of, but your last sentence is a beautiful human sentiment. If it’s not a quote, it should be quoted.
This is how I’ve felt since I was 12. I’m glad others feel this way.

You’re an asshole.

And I didn’t intend that to sound rude. Sorry if it did.
Whole lotta Pascal’s Wager going on in here. Lighten up guys: God isn’t real, and there’s no hell.
