For that matter what am I being offered to join Jesus'?
I can't make a decision unless I know what perks are involved.
He's the devil, he won't honour any contracts.RatRace123 said:What am I being offered to join the Devil's army?
The devil won't win? Seems like a perk to me.For that matter what am I being offered to join Jesus'?
If you need something concrete, you get salvation or rapture or what ever the people who were right say he gives you and the devil gives you eternal torment.I can't make a decision unless I know what perks are involved.
I don't see how it makes him seem immature. It's only real love if we have freewill, and He deserves that.Wierdguy said:You know... if god knows everything that has happened, is happening and is going to happen, and have the ability to change the outcome... woulnt it make a lot more fucking sense for him to, you know, STOP THE BAD THINGS FROM HAPPENING?
Dont come with the line "god gave man free will so we ourselves can find gods love or prove to be unworthy ectectect blahblahblah", cause that just makes god seem like a fat immature kid with a magnifying glass on a sunny day burning ants, joyously watching as we scurry about trying to avoid the "beam of justified kills".
Besides, if free will is the cause of evil... is there free will in heaven? If there is then there has to be evil in heaven, and if not - it means our reward for serving faithfully is to become puppets to the guy we served... yay for afterlife eh? >_>
I thought the devil was actually an angel who got jealous of God's human-favouritism? And as a result got kicked out of heaven? But even so, that would just mean I'd be joining a super-powered angel who rules over a hell-dimension and has a grudge against my entire species because he has daddy issues ... I'd join God. For all I know he may even give me archangel powers, then I could be like Angemon; flying around, shooting love-lasers-of-death, reverting into an air-bubble shooting creature that looks like it should actually be Hermes slipper because of teh wings on its head.AccursedTheory said:Anyone who recognizes the existence of the devil (I don't) would NEVER consider joining him. It's INSANE.
Yeah, lets fight for the very essence of evil against an omnipotent being who can wipe you from existence and send you to eternal torment with a mere thought?
yeah.
Because interpretations allow it to exist. If one took the bible, its every word literally, they would see that the devil is a hell of a lot nicer than god is (no pun intended). And if you read some of the above posts, you can maybe see a different perspective that makes sense to me.Ice Car said:This. Why does this thread even exist?Who Dares Wins said:What kind of stupid question is that. Who to pick: the incarnation of everything bad and evil or the creator of everything including the devil and you.
P.S. I'm not even christian.
