    Well, in hell we can hang out with the old Romans, the old Greeks, the Hindus, the indigenous tribes from all over…etc.

    The Christian god knew in advance I was going to be this way, anyway, right? And if god willed it I would change my ways.

    “Good” in christian terms not only means being nice and caring for your fellow humans but everything that makes God’s creation work: accepting that he knows how it is supposed to work and doing what he says instead of trying to fix this world solely by ourselves. IMO reasonable from a believer’s point of view.

      doing what he says

      Ever notice how “what he says” just so happens to coincide with the believers’ wishes? Suspicious, that.

        Also however it ends up was what he willed anyway. The whole thing goes tits up: well God is testing our faith, but we must continue to believe. Everything works perfectly: God has blessed us. It removes all personal responsibility from any decision.

    This is why religions are a scam. Most don’t hold up the scrutiny to their own teachings.

    Everything is predetermined, if they were able to repent then they were a good person the whole time but had their faith tested
