I've long concluded that both the bible and religion don't make sense. Just for admitting to being married, atheists patents, some fanatic started with the nonsense of going to hell and how they fell sorry for my the poor child. Why?
So a normal, non-criminal atheist that has help others gets called foolish by the bible and condemmed/punished to lifetime in this fictitious so called "hell".
Yet a religious serial killer, child molestar or rapist that never done anything good in society but hey as long as he repents to this so called "god" or accepts it as their savior, is forgiven and accepted in some fictitious place called "heaven".
Does that even make sense? Why would the good atheist be worse than the criminal religious person?

It does depending how ya see it.
I simplify it, with my simplfying mind... mind you...
It's about vulnerability and ultimately connection to God. If ya did that all your life, you'd probably die soon, but you'd be in concert with God. This is a violent /power world. A hard heart isn't what God (love) wants, he wants connection.
God is trying to get us to a place of relationship, love, which is God... as portrayed by Christ. Christ didn't beatup anyone, other than with words... and he was right, they just couldn't take it.
That can get confusing as well... how is God love when the stuff in OT happened blah blah... I won't go further.
Because heaven isn't earned, works alone don't accomplish a thing if you don't comprehend the real importance which is the sacrifice, heaven is a gift, you have to believe and repent, nobody is worthy of heaven, God died perfect and was prosecuted as a perfect man to take the punishment of our sins, it's why believing in him is the only way to heaven along with repenting for your sins and avoiding a life of sin, an atheist that's lived a good life rejects that gift from the start, even someone with the worst sins can enter as long as they believe on the sacrifice for salvation and repent for their sins, it's not about being better because In the eyes of God, all sin is bad and all sin in the same, you disrespecting your parents is just as bad as murder in the eyes of God, the point is to not do it, but if you do and repent, God forgives.
None of us are worthy of heaven, but the sacrifice of God is the only way into heaven, think of it as a ticket, God is like, you can't earn this ticket but because I love you here is the ticket, what an atheist does is they don't believe, meaning they grab the ticket and rip it and then wonder why they can't get it, you ripped your only entry.
This is why I have such trouble with religion in any form. I had an I teractiin with an elderly coupe who said an atheist can never be a good person. That any good they did was the work of Satan. I give her a hypothetical, where if I saved her from a burning house, would it be the work of Satan. She literally told me that it would be and she would be obligated to kill her self as a result.
I can't stand anyone that is that blinded to reality. And I can't stand people who function on absolutes.
An interaction *****
LOL, a "good atheist?" Thats like saying "an honest thief". By declaring yourself low, you condemn yourself. Thus nothing can be "good" from such a person as a result.
But making mistakes and coming back from it, is how character and experience are built. The atheist thinks they are doing nothing to apologize for, hence their bucket will always be empty, regardless of what they fill it with.
I don't believe in any religion in the world. I'm a realistic person.
But I love "Bible" as a book of wisdom to read. I love and respect it.
No , and frankly it's a ridiculous hypothetical..
The problem with religion in a nutshell , hide behind a false mask.
Christians are hypocrites. Even the more tolerable ones.
Because the Bible has fuck all to do with any "God" and everything to do with power and control over fellow humans. The Atheist didn't join the cult. The killer did. It's all tribal.

This is what religious fanatics always say.
