How scared of death do you have to be in order to be a Christian?

How scared of death do you have to be in order to be a Christian?

How scared of God do you have to be to be an atheist?

How bad at posting do you have to be to call yourself a member of the commonwealth?

I'm agnostic. :)

You take your hand off your dogs penis for 5 minutes and this is the best you can come up with.

Im not scared of death at all. And im roman catholic.

But I have to ask you, how much of a shitty person do you have to be to be afraid of god?

there is no reason to be scared of death

I'm not afraid of God, I just hate Christians..

why don't you enlighten us

Oh obviously you do. Its not like the catholic church is the largest non governmental healthcare provider and a key partner of pretty much all UN relief missions.

No, I just hate Christians. I'm not afraid of a God that doesn't even exist.

ITT: Pseudo-Christians defending Christianity...

You hate the people who single handedly created the modern world.
Australia is a cool country. I just hate its shitposters :^)

>agnostic
That's a wise decision - being open to study and research. I was agnostic for most of my life, but lately I've been getting closer to Christianity, more at a cultural level, and as a rebelious act to the current anti-christian propaganda. I have a perennial/traditionalist approach to the subject.

Whatever floats your boat Medkit.

I have been agnostic my whole life. I try to have coherent arguments/conversations with Christian's but they always say "read the Bible" and "It's not MAYBE, he DOES exist!" without giving any evidence or reasons as to why they believe in Him. They're just annoying, like a fly, which is why I despise them.

Im Christian.

I was raised Christian but never a strong Christian. Ive been going here since 13 (23 now) so itd be a stretch to say i was ever a good Christian.

When i was 14-16 id have moments where id realize i would die someday. During this time i would freak out often repeating "no.. no.." while trying to comprehend it. During this time i considered myself an agnostic. I would sometimes consider myself atheist but mostly agnostic.

Over time i cared less about death and more about life. I stopped letting fear control me and instead focused on the beauty of this life even if it is temporary. At least we get to ride the wave and can enjoy it.

I think you have a misconception on what it means to be christian. Essentially its focusing on positive aspects of life and promoting those to future generations.

You can say Christians are the ones trying to cope but youre the one thinking and talking about it on Sup Forums. Youre probably young so youve still got time

Okay, okay. Let me come up with something better:
As I sit here watching my screen emit a yellowish-beige type of light, I wonder to myself why I do not rest and occupy myself with such frivolous hobbies. To degrade ones own time of respite in the simple pursuant of attempting to entertain oneself with a website, reading articles that near always toss myself into a pit of depression and despair, that continuously make me feel letdown with myself, with history, with my own countrymen. I glided over to a thread to reduce my said depression by drowning myself in low quality posting. I post, regardless of how it will inevitably be lost in not even a years time. I see, a man has took it upon himself to reply, I barely manage to read it due to my fatigue pounding at my head. "You take your hand off your dogs penis for 5 minutes and this is the best you can come up with.". A man, not as himself, but collectively embraced stereotype to attack his enemies. A matter he himself knows little about, despite how degrading the issue is to myself. I ponder. I realize there is no reason to respond to a presumed man, who may not even take my rebuttal seriously. I nearly drift off into slumber. I hit the post button. Then I leave, turning off my computer, letting the evil yellowish-beige light dissipate, only to come back again to add to my own depression.

fedora pics thread?

Too lazy to read it.

Fuck you, I'm going to bed.

Goodnight leaf.

It's not death, but the concept of not existing, is the more accurate issue. I don't think it's healthy to get comfortable with the idea of infinite life after death, though. If life is a currency, the moment one comes to terms with existential mortality, the value of that currency inflates.

If there is an afterlife, that's fine, it just means you spent your life on Earth being more productive, acting like the end is genuinely near.

To people claiming you go to a hell if you don't believe in an afterlife, a god that would intervene based on criteria would most likely choose human morals over faith or Pascal's wager chosen out of fear.

>the concept of not existing
This. Once you die, all your feelings shut down and never activate again. You'll remain in this state even after the universe is no more. It's a terrifying thought.

The fear of death is not really mollified by belief in the afterlife. Christ himself was afraid of dying. It is not about death, it is about what is right.
