True lol, talking to my Christian friends about hell is wild. The worst people imaginable can go to eternal paradise if they believe in God, but queer agnostic atheists like me get eternal torture for thought crimes.

And they'll openly admit that they don't think I deserve hell, but they still call it just and moral if I get sent there. Which is incredible, because it seems like they feel like it's wrong, yet won't call it wrong because the morals created by the men who came before them are objectively right and can't be questioned.

The other baffling thing is that they'll say owning slaves is wrong now because those parts of the Bible are outdated, yet still say it's just to torture homosexuals for eternity and cite those same "outdated" books of the Bible.

You ever ask them why do they think a God with those values is one worth worshipping?

Nope, but I'm pretty sure they'd say something like "we're not omniscient, we can't understand God's will"

To which I'd probably say it's funny how "God's will" looks a hell of a lot like what we'd expect to see if God didn't exist
