People often complain about how their prayers always go unanswered, and I was just wondering what the AG community thought about this topic. I was also interested in where your opinions where on asking God for something.
So am I, Nilo. So am I. I imagine paradise as a land without some of my friends because they unfortunately don't believe in god and are burning in hell. You know what....I think I'll stick with being an atheist.
Which is kissing *** to this psychopathic toddler. I would rather be burning.
That's a bunch of crap. I'd say I'm unimpressed with your imagination, because if I'm faced with an omnipotent being who I either love, or I am thrown into eternal torment, I know what my choice is. If hell is real, 314d1, then you cannot comprehend its pain, its torture. And faced with that when you have the option of repentance and salvation, not only would you not have the guts to turn away, you wouldn't want to. No one would.
So, you'd rather burn in the highest form of torture for all of eternity instead of giving up your dignity? And still, God does know all.
Dignity, honer, loyalty, courage, and pretty much any other positive trait that you can think of would be in this choice. How could you live up their and be happy while your wife is burning in a fire forever? When anyone is burning in fire forever?
So tell me. If Hitler offered you a position at the near top of the SS, in which you would get a ton of comfort and anything you could want, would you accept it? If he would put you in a death camp if you said no? I wouldn't, assuming I was the same person I am now. That is the same thing, except your god is more insane, offering a greater reward, and threatening a greater punishment.
