Hmm. Nice and insightic. The introduction of Platonic and Socratic philosophy into Christianity has really left the religion bare and subject to the introduction of confounding fallacies into its tenets. Eternal punishment is a concept that has proven quite useful in ensuring an ordered society,free from chaos and moral depravity. Its primary piece is fear and not the need to be good from the depth of the heart,a glorification of abhorrence and portraying a God who has insatiable and unbridled ego and resentment is what it is. The earth itself would be healed as the bible put it but hard hearted Christians still see the need to invoke a torture chamber even on those who have suffered on the wounded earth. cc johnydon22 |

Deicide: It seems very petty, childish and very weird that something powerful enough to create the cosmos is bothered about Glory from tiny humans living in a tiny planet in a very tiny part of the universe. If there is a God, theism is an insult to it. 11 Likes 6 Shares |

TomHagen: That's why civilized people have a discussion. So that we can even out the rough edges. They do not declare their opinion to be the unwavering word of the creator of the universe. It's the ultimate form of aggression masquerading as civility. 1 Like |

johnydon22: It teaches a world broken and hopeless due for destruction, it teaches escape from the world and not an attempt to heal it. It makes the earth look incredibly outshown in the glamour of a golden blissful unending life of fantasy after [b]you are dead It teaches humans that there are originally broken, flawed, sinful and unworthy even from birth therefore needs external saving. Demeans the very essence humanity to a pitiful state of groveling at the feet of the divine, wrathful deities seeking undiluted piety and blind faith. Recommends blind faith over the need to study and find things out And a thousand and one other ways - but just chew on these handful In summary Christianity preaches doomsday and that alone is a threat to the continuity of human race 1 Like |

Immorttal: Yes because it diminishes the value of this world to the mind that bears such idea. it makes them see it as unworthy and broken, see it as a place doomed to be destroyed therefore no care to heal it or make it better. Just hope to escape to somewhere better afterwards failing to realize that if you are waiting for a better paradise after you are dead, then you are not really living this life, you simply are just waiting to die. Sacrificing the earth for paradise is like sacrificing substance for shadow.. 2 Likes 4 Shares |

jiggaz:One thing i learned in life its that it is rewarding to act above your age,. some things might be normal to us simply because of our age bracket and nothing else,. if you are 50, try to act like 60, when you reach the 60 year mark you,ll realise you,d make mistake if you acted your age then (50). thank you all for ignoring this fellow. |
