Logically speaking, hell is real. Did you ever think what will happen to you after your death? NO. You don't even know.this is the problem of you guys, you're all blind. And I didn't realize that the reason the topic of God weighed so heavily on my mind, was because God was pressing the issue. I have come to find out that God wants to be known. He created us with the intention that we would know him. He has surrounded us with evidence of himself and he keeps the question of his existence squarely before us. It was as if I couldn't escape thinking about the possibility of God. In fact, the day I chose to acknowledge God's existence, my prayer began with, "Ok, you win..." It might be that the underlying reason atheists are bothered by people believing in God is because God is actively pursuing them. Why Jesus? Look throughout the major world religions and you'll find that Buddha, Muhammad, Confucius and Moses all identified themselves as teachers or prophets. None of them ever claimed to be equal to God. Surprisingly, Jesus did. That is what sets Jesus apart from all the others. He said God exists and you're looking at him. Though he talked about his Father in heaven, it was not from the position of separation, but of very close union, unique to all humankind. Jesus said that anyone who had seen Him had seen the Father, anyone who believed in him, believed in the Father. ENOUGH SAID!
How exactly is hell real? And yes, I have taught about what would happen to me after I dye - NOTHING. I would just be dead, I would be gone, my body will dissolve. No afterlife, no heaven, no hell. And shouldn't Christianity be about equality? But you said it yourself - Jesus claimed to be equal to God, and everybody else below him. And basically you are saying that your religion is the one closest to God, the best one, and the other religions are just lower that yours, and you think you are more of a person that a Muslim or a Buddhist. This is another reason why I am not religious anymore - people think that when someone's different from them it means that they are wrong. I respect everyone's personal choice at religion, and don't say that they are less, because of it. You should just SHUT UP!
IIN that I don't want to tell my family that I'm atheist/agnostic?
