God scares me. [Spirituality & Religion]

It really makes me sad to hear you say that, Chloe. I understand why you said it, but there's another side of that story. God's not out to hurt or destroy anyone. He loves us unconditionally. Jesus cares. What more could He have done? I'm grateful Jesus loved us enough to provide us all a way to have eternal life in heaven with him. If it weren't for Him, we'd [u]all[/u] miss heaven, because our sins separate us from Him. We must not become so consumed with having all the answers, that we miss eternal life. That would be a tragedy.

Man says... Show me, and I'll trust you.
God says... Trust Me, and I'll show you. Psalms 126:6

"He that comes to Me, I will in no way cast out."

He didn't destroy his enemies the day they hung Him on the cross. He could have, but instead, he forgave them, even after all that, and called his crucifiers his "friends", then asked his Father to forgive them, for they know not what they do. That doesn't sound like a ruthless God to me, nor one who doesn't care. He didn't have to die for us, but he did. He volunteered to lay down his life, because he is not willing that [b]any[/b] should perish.

While I do agree with you on that people should be allowed to believe whatever they want to believe, there was an apt analogy of it that I've heard before which goes with the whole abusive relationship angle.

Goes something like this: "God made humans with the ability to sin, then punished them for sinning. After that he decided that he would rape a virgin and risk her marriage to give birth to his son so that his son could die a slow and torturous death to save humans from going to hell for their sin. But not all of them, just the ones willing to venerate him. The rest can still all go burn in hell."

A pretty strange logic goes into justifying that set of actions and thinking he's still a beneficent god.

"Abusive relationship" That is right! Well said! There's another word for all of that too...nonsense...that is my belief

He's a sadist what do you expect? Once I realized that I wasn't going to get after care from his daily abuse, I rolled my eyes told em to fk off.


Now I'm the perfect place where weather or not he's real I couldn't give af honestly.

Spoken that way he sounds like a dictator

Yeah they should worship a big friendly mother figure in the sky with whopping great big boobies, huge hips and a big bouncy ass who is benevolent and looks after everyone!! I'm not religious but I'd be alright worshipping her.

I'm an atheist, but if there is a God after I die, I'd tell him to go fuck off and send me to hell. I'd rather be there than worshipping his ass for all eternity. But that's all assuming that God is anything like how people describe him as.

There is no relationship of any sort possible. It's the mind giving form to an irrational idea; tenacious self convincing.

Most people don't know God. I have no fear of God. He is very loving and kind and gentle and patient with us.

Well, God. He's literally my friend. I do not fear his punishment, but I fear losing him or I fear he'll losing me. But no, he's very patient to me. I got overdose 10 times, and still alive kickin. That made me thought that God was so good, and he's so patient to me :) peace

I understand your concerns with peoples views of God.
The issues might be with the people and how they believe. Not with God.
Consider what he is, and consider how he is actually viewed by people who have had him used as a threat rather than who he really is.

Happy Easter 😬

A vengeful God.to a people that would not do what was right whom he has chosen as his own.a father admonish his children when they misbehave.maybe men has written what suited themselves in order to control.by fear.when in truth the deity may has said something enterly different

Believe me when I tell you, there's no need to feel sorry for me. If anything, I feel kind of bad that you're outlook in all probability
only includes whatever time you have left on this earth.

God is real and true, but you say he traps us in a world he controls? He made it all, and us with it, how is that trapping?

Truth is, I wouldn't be alive right now if not for God.

"God" doesn't frighten me because it doesn't exist but there are some dangerously deluded people who believe it does. They can be frightening.

Idk what God you're talking about there are many
