@ET
It doesn't need to be constantly discussed when it is constantly haunting your frightened existance.I like to remind you of how irrationally afraid you are of the mot natural aspect of life, it's fun.

EtrnlVw threatens:

Hell doesn't exist like prisons do not exist lol, get real atheist. You'll be quite surprised when your flesh hits the dirt. That's not a threat BTW, it is a treat. One that you will find pretty fascinating. You can be an atheist all you like, but your consciousness will pull away from the physical body at death and only then will you realize you made mockery of all of us for no good reason. 
Yeah, that is a threat, but of course, it's a threat based on your personal delusions so it's obviously laughable to any sane adult as it's a threat a child would make when his ball gets stolen.

Prisons are real places, we can actually see them and the people who are inside. To tell someone to "get real" is clearly an insult to the intellect.

EternlVw tries to defend his threats:

I understand you Christians love to threaten others with your delusions of hell, you always do that when you have nothing of value to say and are forced to defend your irrational beliefs. You know you were threatening someone, that's why you said it. So, now you have to lie about it, yet another trait found so common among you loving Christians.

How do you equate warning people about a fate worse than death and making threats? If you told a child not to stick a metal fork in an electric outlet or it would kill them, would you consider that a threat? Christians are simply warning you about a cosmic electrical outlet.  But you go right ahead and ignore the warnings. Let us know how that works out.

The Hindus are simply warning you about your karmic debt.  But you go right ahead and ignore the warnings.  Let us know how that works out.

The Muslims are simply warning you about Jahannam.  But you go right ahead and ignore the warnings.  Let us know how that works out.

None of the religions you mentioned have a Savior who performed miracles then died and rose again. Try again.

They've got stories of miracles written in old books, just like you.

Why would anyone believe one old book and ignore all the other old books?

A little something called evidence. The Bible has never been proven wrong in anything it says. Granted, not all of it can be proven true, but none of it has been proven false.

What part of the Bardo Thodol has been proven false?

What part of the Bhagavad Gita has been proven false?

What part of any of the other ancient books has been proven false?

Not being proven false is a very low standard of evidence that is met by any number of ridiculous beliefs including alien abductions and big foot.

ANd, the modern Christian Bible is riddled with contradictions:

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that some atheists might be looking for TRUE RELIGION.


Unfortunately, they are going to get a lot of mixed messages because... as St. Symeon the Theologian once said, you hear the name "Jesus" everywhere.


It must be pretty difficult trying to find out what it is all about.

What qualifies a DART atheist as obsessed, in your opinion? I'd like to know if I qualify. Does just posting in the religion subforum regularly count as obsession? Even if the atheist posts in other subforums just as regularly?

We'll forget for a moment that your so-called "fate worse than death" claim are just so many empty, worthless words.

Most of the members here are well acquainted with the general concept of Hell, but even you believers argue over it as can be seen on this thread. If the concept were being presented in a general way, it would be an explanation or warning if that's what you want to call it. But that's not what EtrnlVw was doing, he was aiming his malice, hatred and intent upon another member with the threat  "only then will you realize you made mockery of all of us".  All that member did was state Hell didn't exist and EtrnlVw went postal on him as if that member was indeed going to Hell.

If you told a child not to stick a metal fork in an electric outlet or it would kill them, would you consider that a threat?
We'll forget for a moment that electric outlets are real things as opposed to Hell.

We are not children and you are not our teachers, we have exactly the same access to the same Scriptural information you and everyone else has, in fact many non-believers here are better versed in Scriptures than the loving Christians who utter those threats. So clearly, there is no reason whatsoever to tell us we're going to Hell and then say, "only then will you realize you made mockery of all of us"

So, don't give us some crap about treating us like little ignorant children and then turn around and act like children.

But you go right ahead and ignore the warnings. Let us know how that works out.
And lo and behold, you decide to threaten me with your irrational childish beliefs of a boogeyman.

Loving Christians indeed. Ugh!

Way too much credit to the atheist. Not to mention plenty of theists are not in your religion. It's a hate thing on the  part of most atheists and witness thing on the part of most Christians. Very few come here to discuss myth, text, religion or spirituality.

Well, I don't believe all atheists are the same. I think there are plenty who simply have been listening to and believing ignorant people.

Plus protestants make Christianity confusing with their myriad of heresies, and The Roman Catholic Church has done more damage to the name of Christ in their not so subtle attempts to make their Pope God.

Orthodox are a minority in the west, so their voice gets drowned out by those who have bad doctrine.

I blame Rome.

Pot Kettle.

Examples please.

Orthodox are a minority in the west, so their voice gets drowned out by those who have bad doctrine.

 And your doctrine is as pure as the driven snow I presume.



I blame Rome.

 Me too and also the works of the  gospel writers  chosen by the early christians  to be include in the New Testament and who have disregarded many more truthful verses and versions.


 Such as : The  Gospel of Thomas Saying 114
(114) "Simon Peter said to them: Let Mariham [Mary] go out from among us, for women are not worthy of the life".
