>taking mythology literally

>>13426846
Nothing I said was related to mythology

>>13426885
>the bible isn't mythology

>>13426891
I literally said it's BS

He is referring to the Roman sack of Jerusalem which did in fact end the era of Temple Judaism, and did in fact happen within a generation of his death.

>why does god allow multiple false religions and then make picking a religion purely a matter of faith?
Did you read Genesis? I don't think you did, and if you did you don't understand the implications of Genesis.

>>13426926
Redpill me

>>13426908
Ok I can answer part of it:
>Why does God allow multiple false religions and then make picking a religion purely a matter of faith
Because there are multiple cultures and religions that developed over time and the authors of Jewish/Christian mythology had to account for that reality. The other questions don't have as straightforward of an answer.

>>13426798
All the events Jesus described did happen before the Apostles passed away, he wasn't saying the end times were immediately around the corner.
>why did God become man so he could forgive us
God became man so that man could be lifted out of sin. He was providing a path out of sin as well as redeeming those who passed away before his coming.
>why is Hell eternal
Man chooses to go to Hell. If you reject God's love you must face the consequences of your choice. God does not will anyone to damnation.

Well done. Welcome to the club. Here's the scoop. We use religion to control the masses. Fearing eternal damnation keeps them in line and the empty hope of salvation tricks their weak minds into behaving morally. Keep this to yourself. Don't show them behind the curtain or the jig is up. Just kidding, they're so fucking brainwashed that they make a virtue of submission and believe what we tell them for absolutely no reason at all. They call this unreason "faith". Again, welcome to the club. We hope you enjoy your stay.

No he is not.

>>13426931
The answer to your questions should be obvious once Adam and Eve leave Eden.

>>13426945
Shut the fuck up Ernest Cline. Your writing is shit.

>>13426946
Isaiah used similar apocalyptic language when referring to the Babylonian sack of Jerusalem in 568 BC.

The end of the Temple meant the end of Judaism as it was then known.

>>13426956
You're right, this has nothing to do with your fragile faith. This is about my prose.
Please, allow me to suck your dick.

>>13426798
>Bible makes no sense at all, like why did God become man so he could forgive us, why does God allow multiple false religions and then make picking a religion purely a matter of faith, why is Hell eternal
>I don't understand nor know much about it; therefore, it makes no sense.

>le evil boogeyman is always out to get you

>>13426798
Allah is going to kill christcucks anyway, just a matter of time and rapefugees fuggin.

>>13427080
Well if chrisitanity can believe it...

>>13427108
neither Satan nor demons are treated as "bogeymen" in Christianity

>>13427143
You haven’t met many Christians have you?

>>13427196

We're going to convert every black and brown-skinned person on the face of the Earth, Ahmed. Try and stop us.

>>13427196
superstitions of individual Christians does not equate to actual Christian theology

>>13427219
Christcucks are so pacifistic these days they accept they fate. Even pope is a libcuck. Nothing can be done to reverse this. Catholics are going to be a history in a generation or two because those cucks are either mediocre or shit believers and noone is going to follow their "let the enemy kill me" doctrine except liberals and neomarxists.

>>13427355
>using the word libcuck

Just remember, nationality doesn't matter and we can only go forward from here. :3

God is too far removed from human imperfection to forgive us. How can a perfect being understand an imperfect being? So he had to become an imperfect being and suffer and be all "why have you forsaken me" to get it so that we could understand what god would be like as a human and god could understand what being human is like.
Not that I believe in any of that, but that's why I think it's such a powerful story.

>>13427751
Bro you just posted cringe

>>13427788
I posted logic my friend.

Taking a pre-supposed side when you are in an advantageous position such as we are in this ideological struggle is heresay.

>>13427751
You are the worst person on /lit/.

>>13427799
No one cares about your Vocaroo spam. Get off this board and don't come back :3

>>13427814
Shut the fuck up you stupid faggot. You need to let spilt blood lie.

Major wars are not happening again, and instead of reveling in the prospect of repeating history, how about you try to create something good with the given situation? :3

>>13427849
Your opinion is automatically worthless as soon as you attention whore on an anonymous website with a trip or Vocaroo

>>13427864
Indeed.
