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. ❤

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

You're still alive because Doctors are awesome. Saying that it has anything to do with God is a massive disrespect to the men and women who work incredibly hard to keep you, and everyone else, healthy.

@RoboChloe: no doctors around me when that shit happens. Only my mum and my friends.. 10 times overdose. Lol. Not to disrespect people around me, you know. But sometimes, IDK it's irritating for debating about God's existence because He exist in our reality, but he had no physical body.. so we couldn't see him, we could only 'feel' him. Dat 'feel' things... wtf you know, but I got it sometimes lol
