Disclaimer; If you are one of the many credulous religious persons who believe a MESSIAH resurrected from the death and that a prophet who stayed in a cave was visited by angels—and yet do not want these hysterical beliefs questioned under the microscope of reason, then do not read this article because you might find it OFFENSIVE.
Religion is violent, irrational, makes absurd claims which it hates to be challenged, allied to racism, tribalism, bigotry, glorifies ignorance and invests heavily in the oppression of women and continues to terrorize children—and I am sure I have not mentioned its hostility to free inquiry.
For people like me, the world would be much better if we begin to question the many extraordinary religious claims which of course it offers no extraordinary evidence for…
Christians are the most difficult people to debate—not because they have plausible and persuading arguments, but because most of them have no arguments at all and mostly, are ignorant when it comes to their own beliefs.
I took time out some years back to re-evaluate by sense of belonging and why I was a Christian. And like most people, I was a Christian not because I thought I knew for sure the truth and believed the collected Bible stories were divine given but because my mother was a Christian and I was born into Christianity.
Therefore when I came across the argument that, if I was born in Saudi Arabia, there was a high probability of almost 99% that I would have been a Muslim, I realized I belong to Christianity not by choice or by the fact that it is the truth but by either heritage or by my birth circumstance.
Whenever I meet someone from Iraq, I assume by default the person is a Muslim and most times, I am right about this. Our religion is heavily determined by our place of birth, nothing more than that…
Therefore, if your parents are Muslims, there is a high probability that you would be reading this as a Muslim. Of course some people smartly grow to find their own direction just as I have done, but in many instances, this becomes impossible, especially if you live in a country where the punishment for apostasy is death.
How do you feel as a religious person to know that in about 20 countries, changing your religion is a crime, punishable by death in some of these countries?
Anyway, apart from such human punishments that have been put in place to protect certain religions and myths being paraded as truth, there is a heavenly punishment of eternal hell fire, awaiting all sinners—including believers and non believers.
I cannot count the number of times people have told me I am heading straight to hell because I do not believe in the God hypothesis or do not hold religion sacred, just as they do—and surely, religion has no sacred status in the hearts of those who live by reason and not superstition or myth. Religion must be tolerated with the same skepticism and be subjected to equal criticism as politics, philosophy or science—guided by reason.
Interestingly, it seems I would not be heading to his hell that many have put me to alone—and remember the Church of England somewhat has announced that there is no HELL anywhere. But for those holding unto this dogma, hell is real and it awaits all sinners, especially me…
I will be heading to hell with a bunch of believers including you because you are just as sinful as I am and since there is no hierarchy of sins in the sight of God, my non-belief which will fetch me that hell fire is equal to the below sins, which most Christians live by…
Before I talk about the sins which will land most of my readers in HELL, let me ask this; am I the only person who finds it so absurd that, a just God will throw people into hell fire for the sins they were gifted with? How on earth should I be thrown into hell fire for the sins of Adams and Eve, some fictional losers I do not have any bloodline with?
For the Christians, Romans 3:23 states that, for all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God and since the wages of sin is death (Romans 3:26), surely the sinners are really heading to hell—and this include a child who will be born today, even if he dies today. Because, he came into this world as a sinner and God will punish him not by having committed any sin but just by reason of being a human being, a supposed descendant of some two ill-mannered people God created in the beginning-Adam and Eve.
I don’t think North Korea’s atrocious dictator- Kim Jong-un will even do this but a just God has promised he will do exactly this to his own children and yet we say, HE is a just God.
Now let me tell you about the reasons why I won’t mind going to hell because those throwing me into hell have already signed their names in the entry book, including you.
According the Christian scriptures, it is a sin for any person to engage in gossiping—meaning the many gossip lovers who sleep on this site and the many others are heading to hell. Perhaps, God even likes gossip, yet, HE will throw those who do the same together with the murderers and fornicators into hell.
Even if you are able to escape hell by letting go gossip (which is not possible), you will surely be caught by the fornication or adultery or lust net… How many of you have boyfriends and girlfriends? You know what that means…right?
In fact, according to Proverbs, Deuteronomy, 2 Corinthians and other books, over eating which is often referred to as; gluttony is also a sin—and you know every sin is capable of landing you in hell. Anytime you over-eat your favourite food, your one-way hell tickets get purchased, and the train to hell awaits you on death.
And for those who wear clothes, you only need to wear single-fabric clothes or else you are sinning against the God almighty- Leviticus 19:19.
Even, getting in contact with a woman while she is on her menses is a damn sin, which can fetch you the hell fire (Lev.15: 19-24). Now, I wonder how God expects us to know when a woman is doing this so we can avoid her. Try asking the woman and you will probably get 100 slaps.
Farcically, “whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery”, Mark 10:11-12—of course unless the spouse was cheating.
The point of this post is that, there is no heaven or hell out there so get out of those boots and start living your damn life. And even if there was any heaven and hell, you wouldn’t be able to get into the former, it is just impossible…
What even upsets me most about this hell business is the fact that my loving great great grandfather who did not hear about Jesus Christ before dying will be heading to hell because he did not believe in the son of God.
He did not even know who the heck Jesus Christ was, to be able to believe in him and according to the Messiah, he is the way, the truth and the life; no one goes to the father except through him. He said NO ONE and he does not give exception to anyone, even if born before him or in any remote area where you will not hear of his false stories before you die. Also, the Muslims, Hindus, the Buddhists, the Atheists, Agnostics and the others who do not believe in Jesus Christ as the SON of God are all not going to heaven. In fact, majority of the world’s population will be in hell, according to Christianity which will make heaven very boring for any rational human being to want to be there.
Now, how many of you think God should have mercy on me and not you—and I am heading to hell alone, without you?
The big joke is; religious people choose and pick which among the God given laws they want to follow as if that was an option God placed on the table.
And don’t tell me the old testament does not matter anymore, because that is where the ten commandments, the tithe laws and the many guiding principles of Christianity can be found.
Put on your seat belt because you are on a fast train to hell and I will be definitely waiting for you at the gate…
