“All I have to do is obey?”
Makes me think of that old Ramones song. What was it again? Oh yeah, “I wanna get a lobotomy.” Did I get that right.
““You will see the people you love tortured and betrayed in the most horrible unbearable ways, even if they were good lordly folk.”
Goodness. Can I buy an indulgence for that, please?

Roger:
Once more into the breach.
“The Lord wants you to suffer until you beg for forgiveness - but then, God will laugh at you and you will be denied, just as you denied God in your lifetime.”
Somehow, maybe it’s just me, but that seems rather less than empathetic for a god of love.
I feel obliged to remind foam-speckled fanatics like yourself (why do I bother?), that allegory was ALSO an invention of the Greeks, which the Xtians (& to a lesser extent, the Israelis) used to circumvent the false prophecies and glaring errors.
Allegory is a methodology by which 1 extracts deeper spiritual context from an extant manuscript.
It’s also handy to circumvent a great many of the false prophecies in your book of fables.
Take that to your next Bible class w/Rev. Phelps & the rest of the addled saviors, would you please?

Seriously. Wow. That Roger guy is completely crazy. Even more crazy than the lady who wrote to the local paper trying to say that Bush was appointed by God and that to question Bush was to question the will of God.

I am lucky in that the Lord has shown me what Hell is like.

Lucky is not the word I would use for it. I would seriously recommend a psychiatrist and some anti-psychotics, Roger.

I’m not just picking on you. Based on what you wrote, you are a sick person who needs professional help…

Whew! It’s good to know that logic and morals are just inventions of the Greeks. All I have to do is obey? Alright, I’ll get right to it. First, I’ve gotta go out and get me some slaves. Then I’ve got to slap up my bitch for talking so damn much. If she gets mad, maybe she can catch some stones while I’m fuckin’ all my concubines. What if some of them are 4 year old little girls? Is pedophilia expressly forbidden in the Bible? Or is it just a pesky make-believe moral? Wouldn’t want to disobey the big guy. Good thing god didn’t have any traffic laws, because it’s only that fake logic stuff that keeps me from driving the wrong way down the highway, and it’s much quicker that way - don’t wanna be late punishing gays and disobedient children to death.

“the most naughty and rebellious of rascals” - that really puts it in perspective. I had no clue they were that bad!!

“Hell is like a sad and lonely place, full of flies and the smell of decay.” - this is different than earthly life how?

“For people like Hitler and hardened atheists,…” Nevermind that we’re directly connected to Hitler (was he really disobeying god?), I just wanna know how to be a “hardened” atheist. Is Viagra involved? Seriously, how is one atheist more serious about disbelief than the next? Is it a social thing? I’ve had a pretty rough life, and I’m a felon, so am I hardened?

“…Hell is a place of utter torment” - OK, so what is Hell to the other people? You know, the ones who aren’t Adolf, or atheists od’d on Cialis.

“You will see the people you love tortured and betrayed in the most horrible unbearable ways, even if they were good lordly folk.” Damn. This is right in lin with Judeo-Christian thinking. So, basically, if I’m a naughty rascal, my family will suffer in hell?! I’mma have to start using the adjective “lordly.”

“You will try to cry, but the hardened blood in your eysockets will keep it from flowing.” That’s just really funny to me.
