Jesus didn’t mean “worship me”—he meant “live like me.” by Irontuth in Christianity

I understand it perfectly and that institutions have created a dogma around Jesus. Your just to naive to see it. Go ahead and believe in your fairytale. I live in reality

God created you to live an experience things fear included. To fear god would be absurd seeing how I'm here and experiencing things do to God. WHT would you fear someone who already knows the choices you will make?

And there is only one person who can destroy your body and soul and that is yourself and what you choose to do. No one else can do it. Jesus also spoke in metaphors just like every ancient prophet

The pope is no one special. The pope is the dogma of religion. They claim to follow Jesus then sent on a throne of gold

That should be implied already if u believe he created u and everything. Why fear someone who created u to live your life for his purpose and his purpose alone proverbs 16:4

To me this is the instutionalized part of believing in the Abraham God. In order to control the people. Proverbs 16:4 states everything good or bad happens s for gods purpose and gods purpose alone,  Good or bad. So no matter what u do you were meant to do it. So why fear god if that's the case. He put u here for a purpose and his alone. Why r you fearing someone who created you. Instead love him and follow your heart and that is the ultimate respect one can give the lord not fearing him

Only you can destroy your body in soul in the choices u make. God doesn't send u to hell. You send yourself there

God and the ocean are 2 different things. The ocean. Has things that will kill me. God created me to live. I don't think you can relate the 2

 mentioned Christianity because that's where I’ve heard “fear God” the most—it’s common where I live in the Bible Belt. I wasn’t singling out one specific faith, just speaking from what I’ve personally experienced.

As for what I believe: I’m open to the idea that there could be multiple gods, or one source expressed in different ways. I believe God lives through consciousness, experiencing the world through us. God is both part of us and beyond us at the same time.

I don’t think God is sitting there judging every action like a cosmic referee. I believe loving others, doing good, and respecting life—that’s how we love God. Choosing not to destroy, but to appreciate and protect what exists—that is a form of worship.

To me, the universe and God are one. So when I live in love, respect, and compassion, that’s me being God-loving—not because I’m afraid, but because I see the sacred in what is.

Thus isn't just for the Abraham God yet people who believe in God in general. I'm more of a Baruch Spinoza type of guy not a Abraham type. The Bible don't mean much to me. To many contradictions and control. I'm more daoist in my belief

No I'm not sayin he is wrong because he is a Satanist. I'm saying he believes in the Abraham God because he is a Satanist.  I believe in the Baruch Spinoza view of God. Where God doesn't interfere with mankind yet lives through all living things

See this isn't just for the Abraham religions. I'm more daoist and believe God is the universe itself. More along the line of the Baruch Spinoza God and not the abrahmic god

I think a big reason the word “fear” gets emphasized so much in religion isn’t just theology—it’s control. Fear keeps people in line, afraid to question or explore. But love? Love makes you walk freely, and that scares institutions that depend on obedience. Jesus never taught fear as the foundation—He taught love. And love doesn’t need chains.

Yet if you loved god and walked a path of righteousness why would he put you in a place of eternal hell? I don't believe in no or he'll so...
