West,
Yeah, the Romans were brutal. I also don’t understand anything in the bible or quran, so I don’t blame you for not memorization the verses. I can’t memorize any of them, either.
Gun,
Politicians use religion for power, or that’s how it seems to me. Indeed, Christ would be at odds with Republicans, pastors, and radical lefties, undoubtedly; I’d also throw in the KKK. I also respect the Amish, but I need internet access, even for all the negatives you mentioned.
Regarding hell, it’s a reference to the burning pits outside Jerusalem back in the day, where dead bodies, garbage, and aborted foetuses were piled and burned. Basically, Jesus was saying that if you’re a prick, you’re gonna end up dead. If there is an afterlife, I’m not worried about it, God’s got everything under control, he’s God, after all.
Interesting life story there, Gun. LSD, agnosticism, paganism, deism, shamanism, rare that people go through so much spirituality. Indeed, it’s best to study and learn from multiple different ideas, it’s how you expand your horizon. It’s like mental software, so to speak. Ah, the world being your church, that’s really cool, Jesus was like that, too. As for edgelords, I can like them, they are funny, but at times they seem a bit cowardly or annoying. They’re like the Jehovah's Witnesses of the non-religious community.
Indeed; just live a good life, be good to family and friends, but make sure to keep an eye out for good people. One good friend is better than a hundred bad friends.
