It’s not up to Christians to present their beliefs to anyone.

There’s a book call the Bible that anyone can read.

Christianity is a belief in the BOOK called the Bible!

That’s all it is my friend. Period.

Take the Bible out of the mix, and there is no Christianity because everything you know about the religion comes from that book.

Christianity is a belief in the Bible. Period. That’s all it is.

So it’s not a matter for so-called ‘Christians’ to present their beliefs properly.

Anyone can read the Bible. I denounce the BOOK. I really couldn’t care less about your own personal interpretations of it. I read it for myself.

Christians don’t own Christianity. Religions aren’t owned by people. Christianity is really no different from Greek mythology in this regard. There is a book called the Bible that contains the stories. Anyone can read them and decide for themselves what they want to think about the stories.

I read it and it’s all about a God that solves problems using crude medieval methods of violence. The God in the Bible even had to send his son to be nailed on a cross. That’s a really CRUDE and violent solution to a problem. The book is all about a God that solves problems using very CRUDE blood and guts violence.

So it really doesn’t matter what you think of the book or how you’ve tried to turn it around to mean something else. I read it and it’s all about a God who solves problems using violence. Not only are his methods violent, but they aren’t any better than mortal men were using at the time the stories were written.

It’s about a God who isn’t any wiser than mortal men of the time. In fact, it’s about a God who is actually less wise than a lot of mortal men. That’s a fact! Just read the stories and see!!!

I really don’t care what “Christians” think they believe. They didn’t invent the Bible. It’s been around for over 2000 years. It BELONGS to all of humanity, not just Christians who’d like to pretend that it says things that it doesn’t really say.

The God in the Bible has a medieval mindset for solving problems with violence. Either that, it’s just a myth that was written by mortal men of that period of time. My guess is that the latter is true. I can’t believe that the creator of this universe has a permanent medieval mindset.

No Christian is going to convince me otherwise. I read the book for myself!

Sin is a term only defined by religious doctrine, and depending on the religion, it is defined many different ways and a very misunderstood term.

I fail to agree that it is a "reality" that "can't be overlooked," But The word is meaningless to me.

Hell, as understood by Christians, is an imaginary place, or a place believed to be located on the astral plane, or maybe underground in Africa somewhere, but you could describe Hell as mental anguish, or even this reality we currently live in if you want.

Personally I have never been to Hell, but I do know people who claim they have, so I can't be sure it does not actually exist..somewhere.

I do know that there is a town named Hell, and you can even go there by bus or car. (I think its in Michigan, but I don't think that is where all "sinners" are going.)

But Sin and Hell are not generally considered "Realities" by people who do not live under religious doctrine, although we do know what you mean by these terms.

Hell, is simply not being in the presence of God for eternity.
how and where i don't know.

God, being LOVE.
Hell would be to live without knowing LOVE.

yes, and no at the same time.
Yes, because as concept you are right.
But no, because as a practical matter hell is a state of being which will come after we die.
Now you will come with reincarnation, and etc, etc. which we have already talked about.
Respecting your position, but not agreeing. Just telling you what I think.
