It doesn't make much sense, frankly. Thats could be why you are frustrated when saying the same thing over and over, but your answers just aren't very satisfying to the inquisitive mind.

2. He didn't screw up anything, with our free will we choose to sin, we screwed up. He made us excellent in every way, and we were given a chance to open our eyes to sin, because if we had not the chance we would be robots. Does this not make sense?
So being robots is worse than eternal damnation? Sorry, but God screwed things up royally for us if he believes being a drone would be worse for us than eternal suffering because we exercised our free-will "gift."

Again, doesn't make sense.

3. He didn't clearly outline everything we should and should not do. Your sins are between you and God, no one else can decide what you did was wrong.
Nothing is clear in the bible. Thats why it can be interpreted so many ways, and manipulated so many ways to fit any given person's agenda. What makes me really puzzled is when self-proclaimed God-fearing people are so damn sure I or others are going to burn in Hell without salvation. How can anyone be so sure of anything that that book says? How can God expect us to follow such a book given the contradictions? If God is as prideful as people say, he wouldn't have that book be our guide. I would think God would hope his children would know better than to believe that the fallacious Bible would be his guide given that he is infallible. Does this make sense?



Look at it in these terms, if i'm wrong, what happens? Nothing. If you're wrong, what happens? You missing the only opprotunity to live for eternity (which is a good thing) simply because you decided to deny God. Its an easy choice if you ask me...
Ahh, motive for salvation rears its ugly head.

Fear-mongering is a sure-sign of desperation.
