Absolutely, You can be actively in the process of dying and they will be bible thumping your chest.

I don't go door to door telling people they should be atheist but at least once a year someone knocks on my door to talk to me about Christ.

Some of them actually believe that if they can get you to say the magic words, you'll go to heaven instead of hell.

If I thought I could prevent someone from eternal pain and suffering, and instead have them go to a place where the creator of everything, including... uh... hell...

OK, never mind.

I wouldn't mind if there was a god who created a hell, if hell is the special place reserved for fascists, human traffickers, and greedy billionaires who destroy the planet.

People act like this god guy is such a dick for creating a hell. As if they really want to share an afterlife with everyone who ever lived.

Somehow the paradox of intolerance dovetails into this, but I'm too lazy to explain how.

I would mind: if you're all-powerful then why create fascists, human traffickers, greedy billionaires, and the majority of people who are making the biosphere uninhabitable for most genera? And why punish them with hell, when you created them that way? That's just sadistic.

I understand wanting a hell for bad people, because most people do extremely evil things:

  • voting to be ruled by openly greedy, sociopathic liars (with only about 1-4% of voters choose ethical candidates);
  • giving money to factory farmers and fishermen;
  • contributing to human overpopulation;
  • etc.;

but I still prefer honesty and saying there's absolutely no evidence that a biblical hell is real.

Oh come on, that is so easily answered by the concept of free will. An all-powerful god doesn't create a universe populated by sentient beings just to control everything that any of them do. That's just silly.

Human beings are endowed with free will, and given a choice: use it for good or evil. You can try to be morally neutral, but ultimately you're either serving yourself or others. It's possible to balance doing both, but that means neither is to the exclusion of the other and therefore still counts as doing good.

It's so lazy to just ask "Why did god let people do evil things in the first place." Do you really expect me to believe the concept of free will has never crossed your mind when asking this question?

And I never said that a biblical hell is real, I was just following along with the hypotheticals of the previous comments.

Tell them they can stop, go home, and enjoy time with the fam. I found Christ, and I stopped the problem.
