So, who would win in a fight, YHWH or Vishnu?

[Greengoop]

Does anyone else worry about going to hell?

[Greengoop]

I did when I was little, but dont worry, I’d god was real he wouldn’t send you to it, you either have guaranteed heaven or you cease to exist. That simple

That's a good way to think about it. I've always had really bad anxiety, and throughout this past year, it's gotten much worse. So hell is something that's on my mind, I've always been worried about hell tbh.

Think about it this way if you need some more help: imagine god sees a random innocent kid (who has maybe made a few mistakes, I don’t know anything about your personal life) and is just like “lol wouldn’t it be funny if I, supposed to be the most forgiving being in the universe, sent this kid to burn for eternity?” Nope? He’d be like “ho ho ho I’ll happily let you reunite with your family in heaven and we can live in harmony forever!” Cuz that what makes sense

true-true, thx

No problem, hope this made your anxiety at least a little easier

[Adsolution]

A lot of the "burning for eternity" stuff has been taken so literally by institutions, probably for money, when to me personally it seems like it's supposed to be more of a metaphor for just not "being with God". Being sentenced to excruciating physical pain for eternity for seems very at-odds with the core message of the faith as a whole. It shouldn't be something you fear, rather almost more of a choice.

It was probably made later on by leaders to scare people

I can't imagine what it must be like to be a Jehovah's witness member with awful anxiety.

[Greengoop]

I’d just run off if that was my case

[lyndo64]

I'd too, but your entire family bascially cuts you off from anything, but I could see that being a way out for some people.

I feel bad for anyone born in a cult full stop. I feel lucky I was born into an atheist family

My family is interesting as my mom is a Christian and my dad is more athiest leaning. My parents have never forced their views on me and my siblings, which is cool.

[Greengoop]

You sound like you have a really good family! Also this feels weird but Christianity is supposed to take up most of the UK’s population. I literally go to a CHRISTIAN SCHOOL and they asked us (class of 30) how many of you are Christian


One person put their hand up

Must've been awkward for that one kid lol

[Greengoop]

Yeah lol. He was the only one who put his hand up again when they asked how many of us were patriotic

[lyndo64]

That sounds about right.

[Greengoop]

That sounds about right.

Did they ask any stuff like this in your school?
