    Ah but you didn’t complete the thought…

    He created us, and then damned us all to eternal damnation and hellfire.

    But if you literally worship him exactly how he wants, he might spare you.

    And how is that not abusive?

      Worshipping God is nothing more than being righteous, God’s messages and those of the prophets are just reminders/elucidations for those who don’t get it. And ofc, if you love this free experience, you’re grateful for it. And being grateful to God necessitates doing the right thing as much as possible.

      You damn yourself by having a whole life filled with major immorality and not even repenting for it. I’d understand if you thought “God made us, gave us a short time here and then we all go to Hell forever regardless of what we do. He’s a sadist!”, but that’s just not the case. Such an easy, just “exchange” (again, we’re not giving God anything, we can’t): you get a freebie and if you’re not an unrepentant cunt you get a free eternal upgrade. 👍

        You know literally nothing about me.

        My morality doesn’t come from threats of eternal damnation.

        I don’t actually need that. It seems you and I are different in that way, and I will continue to judge you for it (guess what I’m allowed to do that because I don’t have an invisible sky daddy to threaten me over it).

        That’s just not the case

        Wow dude, super convincing argument. Did you try that one out when witnessing door to door yet? How many hearts have you won for the lord with that stinker?

          It was the “global” you, not you you, of course I don’t know you, you might just be lovely. 😅

          And listen, again, believe or not, that’s on you. I’m not trying to convince you of anything, it’s not my job.
