Do you really want to go to "Heaven" when you die?

[RWNJ]

A leader who lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died and rose again. Name one other cult leader who did all that. Call it cult. I don't care. Doesn't change the fact that you are going to hell.

Hell?

Do you mean Helle, the Norse pagan realm of the dead?

Or, do you mean Hades, the Greek pagan realm of the dead?

What place are you talking about?

You know exactly what I'm referring to. The Lake of Fire. Reserved for the Devil, the Antichrist, who will be thrown whole into the Lake of Fire plus all those who have rejected Christ.. You'll be joining them, unless you repent and ask God to forgive you.

Why would biological pleasures matter in the afterlife? It would be more interesting to enter a plane of existence unbounded by physical limits, time or space. Rewards in Heaven for acts during biological life are a carrot dangling on a stick. E.G. you get 72 Virgins if you die as a Martyr for Allah. I mean really, how stupid is that?

More stupid than believing that God is edible, became a human being, or that a person can become holy as God is holy by eating or abstaining from certain food?

Or just as stupid?

Almost as dumb as writing about a worldwide flood that everyone now says never happened.

Obviously everyone doesn't say it never happened, because hundreds of millions of believers think it did. Mathematics, the only true science, says it may well have happened.

Using any reasonable rate of growth for human population, it is almost impossible to take that growth back over 6,000 years. That means that something catastrophic happened about 6,000 years ago.

Geology says that the worldwide flood never happened, ever, not even 6000 years ago. 6000 years ago, there were already humans in North America. And no flood.

The flood myth motif is found among many cultures as seen in the Mesopotamian flood stories, Deucalion and Pyrrhain Greek mythology, the Genesis flood narrative, Manu in Hinduism, the Gun-Yu in Chinese mythology, Bergelmir in Norse mythology, in the lore of the K'iche' and Maya peoples in Mesoamerica, the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa tribe of Native Americans in North America, the Muisca, and Cañari Confederation, in South America, and the Aboriginal tribesin southern Australia.


Burckle Crater - Wikipedia

An impact crater under 12,500 feet of the indian ocean 25 times the size of meteor crater in AZ could easily account for the worldwide flood stories from every continent. Billions of metric tons of water would have been instantly vaporized into the atmosphere causing mega tsunamis and a deluge of unrelenting torrential rain and superstorms that would have lasted for weeks and swept away coastal civilizations and every city town and village or tent near rivers streams and dry washes in the deserts.

Not a worldwide flood for 40 days that kills almost all humans.

Islam is the only true religion.Allah O Akbar.

In the Islamic heaven, when believers are not busy having sex, they will be eating chicken leaning on a couch under a shade.

For them will be Gardens of Eternity; beneath them rivers will flow; they will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade: They will recline therein on raised thrones. How good the recompense! How beautiful a couch to recline on! (Quran 18 31)

Reclining therein upon couches, they will find there neither (heat of) a sun nor bitter cold. (Quran 76 13)

And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire (Quran 56 21)

Hell is not originally a Judaeo-Christian concept. Pagans converting to Christianity brought it with them and bastardized Christianity forever.

The Lake of Fire is describing the Greek/Roman Pagan relm of Hades.

Christianity is a bunch of made-up bullshit borrowed from other made-up bullshit religions, because religion is made-up bullshit and the longest running scam in history.

that's not to say the underlying reason for the continued existence of religion will not someday be realized and is a necessary ingredient if removed would bring to fore the extinction of humanity.
