Be sure to say hi to him when you get there.
Ah yes. That passage where Jesus said, "pay your landlord, for he is the idol which thou should worship for letting thyself life in thou's abode."
Or when he said, "ignore thy neighbor when he is in pain, for he is not thy self."
Or that passage in the bible that says, "it is easy for a rich man to get into the kingdom of God, and it is also easy for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle."
I think one of Jesus' teachings said, "provide housing for thy sojourner, but only if he pays thee 30 silver coins."
If you believe an invisible sky daddy watching all of your moves, ready to send you to burn for eternity at the slightest fuck up, then you need to grow up.
Ah yeah. There’s always someone who is so devoid of a conscience that they will say something like this. It’s thinking like this and those that participate in it that keep the world from being a good place to live.
After you burn for the first few million years then burning would get pretty boring, I would imagine.
I'm just a dirty heathen, but...... Don't we all sin? And don't they all weigh evenly?
Hell is gonna be standing room only. Better bring a folding chair with me.
Christians would believe your sins are forgiven if you repent, but suicide is a special case because you have to be living to repent. If your sin results in your death, you can't repent.
In which hell?
Come on, get specific with your religious fervour.
I’m pretty sure everyone here died sometime between 2020 and 2022 and is in hell. We all just don’t know where we are yet.
I was born into a capitalist hellscape. Does that count?
I dunno, you’re not in a diamond mine, or locked up in a basement being sold for sex… and you can afford a phone
… so I’d say, relative to the many possible hells that exist on earth, a capitalist hell for you is pretty nice.
Edit: italic text added for clarification
All those other things happen in capitalist hell. It's incredibly selfish to think everything is fine if only you are fine.
That’s true. Good thing I don’t think that. Good thing I never said anything like that. I wouldn’t want anyone to hear what they wanted to hear, twist the original intent, and then send a retort designed to make me look like some kind of selfish person in order to make themselves feel superior.
Here, I’ll use your tactic: It’s incredibly hypocritical to suggest that you are living in hell because other people suffer, while you enjoy the comforts of a capitalist world. You are not living that hell. You are just viewing other people’s suffering, with popcorn, and offering up your thoughts and prayers.
For the life of me, I cannot imagine why any sane person would worship such an evil god-concept as the one many christians claim to believe in.
The term for a follower is "God fearing" for a reason. Most of them worship out of fear, not love.
I am Love.
But I will fuck u up the minute you doubt me.
-god
Go fuck yourself dude, be self righteous somewhere else.
Well when you're being a flagrant piece of shit it kinda happens like that. You piece of shit.
Dark humor doesn't always work with complete strangers. The reason it was taken in a "weirdly negative way" is just because it was either an inappropriate thing you actually believe or an inappropriate joke.
We're not gating anything, we're just disagreeing with your hateful belief. Hope that helps. :)
I assume the comment means in this person's eyes, not in their own. It seems like sarcastically discussing their beliefs, in that they didn't actually do anything that matters and are just worried this guy sinned. I don't know though. It's impossible to tell the difference between sarcasm and authenticity in text.
Well I mean sarcastic or not, the comment isn't appropriate. It's very unlikely she started praying because she thought the person was a sinner, she started praying for the person's safety. Prayer for something like this is an expression of concern.
Sounds like he might not necessarily have intended to kill himself so much as to just burn the house down.
