Because He is our Lord and Master and owns us completely, body and soul.
…which is totally way less creepy.
Infinite punishment for finite sin. Totally cool, totally not creepy
Worse, infinite punishment for not believing. You can be Hitler and repent 2 sec before death and you’re in heaven.
Be a good person and atheist your whole life? You guessed it, straight to hell.
Gods wither away when their believers don’t follow them anymore. They depend on you, which is often times a sign of a faulty relationship. It’s explained here: Terry Pratchett - Small Gods. ;)
I too watched Noragami.
Now I’m intrigued. What’s Noragami and how is it connected to one of Pratchett’s finest books?
It’s an anime with a system where God’s existence hinges on belief. It’s one of the best! Pretty short watch.
Thanks, I may try it out :)
Recently I watched a talk where Slavoj Zizek brought up a question that was apparently very popular in the Middle Ages in Europe:
Do the people in Heaven get to watch the people in Hell suffer … like some kind of Heaven version Netflix playing the show Tiger King ?
Because it seems that lots of Xians who see themselves as saved think the answer is “no” so that they must make and watch sinners suffer here on earth before joining Abraham’s bosom.
god insecure AF.
He said he was a jealous removed
It wouldn’t be creepy if you were in a cult and he was your leader. You just gotta adjust, you know.
God is a jealous removed.
It’s not.
Well, god is not human. There are different standards for non-human beings. I wouldn’t mind if it was a cat saying it :)
God’s often thought of as absolute goodness, so it sounds logical to believers: who doesn’t love goodness is surely evil (is what they think, not me).
What ‘holy’ book says it? There are enough shitty things written in Abrahamic religious holy books. Deut 21 11-13 for example.
