God scares me. [Spirituality & Religion]

When I hear people say that they love God, that they fear God, that God is almighty, and when I think about how people believe they are punished with eternity in Hell for disobeying God, the only appropriate words that I can find are "Abusive relationship".

God gives you rules. He punishes you with pain and suffering if you disobey him, he makes you fear him, so much so that you can't leave him. He traps you in a world where he is the ultimate authority. They way people speak of their devotion to God... it makes me so very sad. The saddest thing of all, though, is that almost all the religious people I know are beautiful, wonderful, kind people. And I think they deserve better than to worship someone who would throw them into an eternal Hell so nonchelantly.

If you believe in God, that's fine. I mean, I disagree with you and feel sorry for you, but I also defend your right to believe whatever you believe. I just wanted to explain my point of view.

Love to all. ❤

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

Like I said, most people do not know God. The sad truth is that people that hate God can never see the real him.

We don't hate him. We don't believe he exists at all.
