Yet another instance where the Christian masses attempt to threaten humanity with the false promise of an impossible afterlife. Here, yet again, another message is conveyed from the forked Christian tongue stating that unless we (humanity) accept Jesus Christ as our personal savior, we shall all die our second death in the lake of fire. What's ironic is that I myself even received this threat from my own grandmother, the one individual that is supposed to love and understand me the most. Threatening someone with eternal damnation is not the best way to get someone to believe, unless the person is dimwitted beyond all reason.
Directing a threat at someone to get them to do what you want them to is one of man's most primitive methods of control. This is a cheap tactic that is used in times of war, as well as love. Yes, even in relationships, a thinly veiled threat can be issued to bend the other person to a specified command, and how appropriate, because God's 'loving' relationship with us is one of violence, destruction, and coercion. All through the bible, one can find passages where God used his prophets to issue threats against humanity in an attempt to get them to submit to worshiping him. Despite all this, there are many strong individuals in this world who refuse to bow to such cowardice, preferring not to worship such a tyrant.
God is no better than the people who convey his message; the bible proves this. Using the assumption that he exists (for the sake of argument, of course), it would seem that this almighty being has managed to convey the wrong message in a time where the correct message is needed the most. A fatal error like this can only be explained as God being fallible, full of flaws, and ultimately a fake. Much of the content in the bible describes human behavior, not godly behavior; even George Carlin himself stated that 'our DNA has not changed significantly even over the course of one hundred-thousand years!' If that statement is true, then the bible is just the ultimate, 'epic fail' attempt at brainwashing a society that could otherwise be secular and free from tyranny.
To conclude, I'd like to add that when I was a child, I was told not to believe in fairy tales, yet I was taught about Santa, the Easter Bunny, and other fictional characters. Believing or not believing in these fictional characters brings no benefit or harm to anyone, yet somehow, not believing in the Christian god can bring eternal damnation to a person. Mind you, this is the same god that exists in a book that also mentions (and describes) satyrs, unicorns, angels, demons, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. We have zero evidence to support the existence of any of the aforementioned entities, least of all a god. Thus, threatening humanity with a fairy tale is quite possibly the most humorous idea ever conceived. The only problem is, nobody seems to be laughing.
