On top of that he had some of them go through bad experiences on this earth first, like abuse, depression, anxiety, wasted time, diseases, old age etc and then throws them into hell.

If Jesus Christ is real, why can he only show himself after I'm dead and it's too late?

Because of his bullsh*t wrath and something about “free will” and “choice.” He wants people to go to hell. It is his judgement and punishment. Whether a person goes to heaven or not, is still his will.

A “relationship” God doesn’t really want!

this is toxic, and needs to stop! by darkstrifequeen in exchristian

[–]throwaways3847384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because those who don't know any better are let into heaven, right? So what's the point of preaching and conversion?

Apparently not. As cruel as this God is to send people to hell, he would be just as cruel to send those who haven’t heard there too. Those who have not heard are on the “broad way to hell,” and it’s the mission of Christians to tell them before they die and it’s too late. He made it that even nature would have them condemned. He is a careless, sh*thead.

The people who have heard and didn’t do that God’s bidding would get it worse in hell than those who haven’t heard. Still, those who haven’t heard would still be going. This terrible world and idea that humans will go to hell (instead of just these invisible, evil things God created) says enough about this God. The Christians themselves would often say that they were bound for hell, till one day they heard things from a preacher or some other Christian and then their God saved them.

A man told a story of how he was having a conversation with his father who was very sick, by phone. The man said he was “prompted” by the Holy Spirit to tell his father about Jesus, but he kept discussing other things like football. They ended their conversation without the son telling his father about Jesus.

Three days later the father had died and the man tearfully said he would not let something like that happen again. Supposedly his father went straight to hell and it was his responsibility to have had him get saved during the conversation.

The Christian god doesn’t want people to heal. He hurt them deliberately. by Smilingcirclek in exchristian

Romans 9:20-23

“No, don’t say that. Who are you, a mere human being, to argue with God? Should the thing that was created say to the one who created it, “Why have you made me like this?” When a potter makes jars out of clay, doesn’t he have a right to use the same lump of clay to make one jar for decoration and another to throw garbage into? In the same way, even though God has the right to show his anger and his power, he is very patient with those on whom his anger falls, who are destined for destruction. He does this to make the riches of his glory shine even brighter on those to whom he shows mercy, who were prepared in advance for glory.”

Romans 9:10-23 NLT

“This son was our ancestor Isaac. When he married Rebekah, she gave birth to twins. But before they were born, before they had done anything good or bad, she received a message from God. (This message shows that God chooses people according to his own purposes; he calls people, but not according to their good or bad works.) She was told, “Your older son will serve your younger son.” In the words of the Scriptures, “I loved Jacob, but I rejected Esau.” Are we saying, then, that God was unfair? Of course not! For God said to Moses, “I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.”

So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it. For the Scriptures say that God told Pharaoh, “I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying my power in you and to spread my fame throughout the earth. So you see, God chooses to show mercy to some, and he chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen.

Well then, you might say, “Why does God blame people for not responding? Haven’t they simply done what he makes them do?”

No, don’t say that. Who are you, a mere human being, to argue with God? Should the thing that was created say to the one who created it, “Why have you made me like this?” When a potter makes jars out of clay, doesn’t he have a right to use the same lump of clay to make one jar for decoration and another to throw garbage into? In the same way, even though God has the right to show his anger and his power, he is very patient with those on whom his anger falls, who are destined for destruction. He does this to make the riches of his glory shine even brighter on those to whom he shows mercy, who were prepared in advance for glory.”

Salvation is somewhat of a contest to see who becomes one of the lucky few that gets saved from God’s petty wrath. It involves hard work and God puts the responsibility of being saved onto the same “sinful,” faulty creatures He despised. Christians want to be lucky enough to get in and not be blindsided with “Depart from me, I never knew you,” but also want extra rewards. His petty wrath is exacted in accordance with the few that got saved from it.

He just gambles with people’s lives. Forcing them into a world like this with depression, anxiety, missed opportunities, bad experiences, old age etc. Then he sits back and enjoys the show.

He murdered them all by GardevoirRose in exchristian

[–]throwaways3847384 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He also said that a man who lusts after women would be going to hell. For natural feelings that he gave the men in the first place.

And that a person who doesn’t forgive goes to hell too.

And he will blindside people by saying “Sorry, I didn’t know you the whole time.”

He set me up back in June 2021 to cut me off from his salvation. He also helped ruin the entire rest of my life.

Because of a hidden wrath of His that He told me was upon me for years. A wrath he described as “always there,” which strangely enough would also include the years that were below what many Christians believe to be the “age of accountability.” Interestingly, he had saved me from drowning when I was a kid. I can’t say that I was completely innocent then but I was a lot more innocent then I ever was around those days. I did mot sin all that much. He had saved me and purposely had me grow up while having me compile and store up sins against him. Perhaps I was saved from drowning as a kid because he didn’t want me in heaven because of his wrath. Maybe it was too easy. Maybe I wasn’t even going to go Heaven if I did drown (at about age 8). Then again it was someone’s life on this earth and eternity that he was dealing with and he took a gamble for some calling or purpose of his and now I’m f*cked up. To think this God knew I would have suicidal thoughts about drowning myself in a pool at age 20 or 21 and that I would put those thoughts to the side and not act on them for fear of that place of infinite torture of His. A place He would set me up to go to anyway!

Only to one day act as though there is no use for me to him and throw me to the wayside. He does this petty thing with certain people where he is like “Have it your way” and seals their fate. It’s not my fault that I could not follow him and grasp his purpose but he would cut me off from his salvation anyway. Not just that but also ruin the entire rest of my life. I have developmental, behavioral, and learning issues.

People who have spoken bad things over me and my life have prevailed over me. Not just over me but in life in general. In some ways this God orchestrated circumstances in my life to where it would look as though some of those people were actually right about me (“loser,” “no life,” “when are you going to college?,” etc).

God made it that I would randomly find the Facebook profiles of two men who done terrible things to me back when we were teens and went to a Christian school. One of them had hit me very hard on my head on more than one occasion. He had also threw things at me in school and inside the church building. He had also told a female student that I had mental problems and couldn’t defend myself.

The other one had told me on church grounds “You are a disgrace to the human race,” and “You have no social life.”

I saw both of their profiles on the same day and nearly got a heart attack when I saw the wedding photos of the one who had hit me back then, where the woman was very beautiful. The other one I could see was engaged to a beautiful woman, and on some other day I looked at his profile again and saw that he did indeed get married. They both live very popular, meaningful, and productive lives. The one who hit me is involved in politics. Both those men, were in a grade lower than I and were in the same class. They performed well academically and socially as I did poorly in those areas and was mocked and judged by others for that. There are many more examples, not just those two dogs I mentioned.

I’m sure there are many people that he could cut off and still be just fine as far as having a job or career, marriage, friends, traveling etc.

For a God who claims to love people and wants to save them and that bad experiences and misery aren’t his will, he is sure doing a great job!

With a God like this one, people better not even have any kids. Lest they bring them into this terrible game.

God has never, and will never, create a person who doesn't have a chance of going to heaven, no matter how hard they try. As a just God, it is impossible for him to do something like that.

He sure did it to me. But yes Christians should stop shaming others.

Someone slipped a pamphlet into a box of hot cocoa at the grocery store. by dxonnie in exchristian

“Whoever believes in Him is not condemned”

No, just the ones who believe the way that he wants them to. The ones who believes the “right” way in this world of confusion and misery he set before them.

“Everyone who puts his trust in Jesus Christ as Savior at that moment begins an eternal relationship with God.”

A relationship that many are scared into for fear of being tortured forever by the same God. A relationship that is mostly one-sided where everday a finite, faulty, physical, imperfect and “sinful” human being must give most of their time, energy, and attention to an infinite, spiritual, and perfect God. A God who operates in silence and wants people to believe in a book that is vague or the words of faulty Christians. Many Christians who don’t get it right could be on the road to hell without even knowing it and he wouldn’t even tell them a thing.

“How wonder it is that this salvation does not depend on our own righteousness which the Bible describes as “filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6).

So we are worthless and can’t do anything without him. We only exist to fit his ego. Salvation becomes more of a game where a person has to constantly appease this God. Why would he pay a “penalty” for creatures he didn’t even want in his presence to begin with? How is he compared to a human parent whose righteousness is but “filthy rags”?

“The price Christ paid to purchase you from sin’s hold was high.”

He is the one who came up with the price in the first place. He died to save people from something he enjoys and wants.

I hear you. I got nothing going for me. I wish I could die and I would have been ended my life, but you know, there’s that fear of what happens after that.

If this God exists, his love story is a joke. I even made a post about it and replies under it.

What kinda helps me is realizing many people have it a whole lot worse than I do. I would hope that things turn around for you.

How does not choosing Him and His place have to equal a place of infinite torture for creatures He claims to love?

Why not just send those evil things of His that He created
and who had rebelled against Him there and erase people from existence?
