Worse things than disbelief?

Ok, I’m not familiar with the standard meaning. Can you identify what the standard meaning is?

Can't be bothered. Look it up, start a thread with the definition, and ask whatever questions you have. I will almost certainly answer them there.

Were you referring to the judgment in Romans or Revelation?

You can look at it through whatever doctrinal prism you want. I was simply referring to the supernaturally controlled fork in the road when some head off for "damnation" and others head off for a more palatable "eternal life".

The superstitious notion that there is a decision made about the destination, so to speak, of each human after they die.

You think God makes a decision on where someone is going to spend eternity after they die?

What are you basing that belief on?

I guess you can’t work yourself out of that pickle lol

What Christians say here.

What pickle? Start a thread if your interest is genuine. If it's not, feel free to go for it with your banter.

Do you have examples of what they said that led you to that belief?

I was just asking for a definition of agnostic atheist since that is how you described yourself. It hardly seems worth a thread.

No. And I am not going looking for anything. If you have some dogma about "judgment" you want to recite with quotes, go for it.

I was just asking why you think God decides the destination of people after they die. If you don’t remember what Christians posted about it or books/verses they referenced, that’s Ok.

Maybe I am just lying to you. Give that one a whirl.

Look it up. I detect no genuine interest.

Three questions. [1] I don't believe in the existence of "Heaven". [2] No. What a trite notion. I am an agnostic atheist. "Escape clause"? [3] No. What you are saying sounds a bit silly and facile to me. I may not be a trenchant atheist like Ghost of a Duke but I certainly feel I have no reason to believe that the Christians who post here - including you, diveg ...[text shortened]... ster and Rajk999 - are revealing anything real about a supernatural being or an afterlife to me.

So when you appear to back up Rajk's self-serving notions, asking actual Christians here if they can defend against his details of them, you are just "taking the piss"? Is that it?

I think it’s more likely that you don’t remember and I can imagine how frustrating that is.

I wish you’d look into that memory patch I mentioned. It’s called Rivastigmine and it’s for short-term memory problems. As I said earlier, it works wonders (very effective) but is not cheap.

You also need a prescription from a doctor to get it. Just print out a few of the threads from this forum and give them to your physician. You’ll have no problem getting a prescription.

No. Those three answers to your three questions were sincere and honest.
