Perhaps my suspicions were right. Christianity, in proclaiming an imaginary being as superior to man, makes people begin to attribute all good traits of man to God's wonderful creation, and all his negative creation to his innate evilness, thus propagating a very profound hatred of humanity.

You're trying to tell me, that there's this guy in the sky, who decided one day to do a little experiment and make these little creatures with free will. But oh no, all of them are sinning! Gotta punish the sinners!

What the hell did God EXPECT?! He can't get mad at us for sinning. He should have known we would all sin. He is all-knowing, right? He created everything and has a divine plan for everything right? So he already knows everything my "free will" is going to do (what kind of free will is that anyways, if all my actions are already programmed into God's mind right now?).

Besides, it doesn't matter if I give God a chance right now. According to the Bible, I'm going to Hell anyways. Watch me guarantee myself eternal damnation:

First, I will direct you to three exerpts from the Bible. They are:
Matthew 12:31-32

Mark 3:29

Luke 12:10

Now, all I need to do to guarantee myself eternal damnation is blaspheme against the Holy Ghost. Fuck the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost does not exist; it is a fabricated lie of the Christian dogma. There. I'm going to Hell and a million Jesuses can't save me now.
YES! We are deserving of this death penalty, but thoes who believe in him do not truly die. I don't know what you can't grasp about this but its really not that hard. We were created to be perfect, and since we are not (by our choice) we need to be saved.

What did God expect? Exactually what happend, and if you paid any attention you would have realized that our ultimate goal is to be in the perfect new Heaven and Earth. Sinless, the way we should have chose in the beginning. Your actions arn't "programmed" into God's head, but he does know what you will do and how you will live your life. Predestination is better explained by a wise man I know, but I can do my best.

And again, I cannot tell you how many time this one is misundestood. No, your not "damned to go to Hell" as of now because of your blasphemes, every sin is forgivable. This is almost comparable to the 10 commandments. Do christians have to obey the 10 commandments? Of course not. It is a good scource of guidelines but invalid at this point in time. Much like the "Unforgivable sin". He gave commands like these to a certain group of people, and even to them today this rule does not apply. Ever since Jesus died for our sins, we are only expected to follow 2 rules.

??Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments? (Matt 22:37-40). ??This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome? (1 John 5:3).

So in retrospect, all we have to do is follow these commands. I can agree aswell, they arn't burdensome.
