What Would Be Your Appeal on Judgement Day?

[lewisnotmiller]

Lots of times 'I' write 'you', then change it to be none personal; as me mum gets offended in dialogue, if 'I' repeatedly say "all 'you' evil scumbags down near Hell."

The question was meant to be broad, it is an observational what if question; to provide inner dialogue for anyone who tried the thought process.

In my opinion.

I still wonder who the 'we' is, though. Non-believers? Believers in false Gods? People who park their cars in handicapped spaces? People who live good lives but refuse to plead for mercy from an all-powerful creator being who can incinerate them?

the God referred to in the OP is some flavour of Christian God

Considering you've been on this forum 5 years, you're not really paying much attention if you think that is what I'd pose as a question.

I still wonder who the 'we' is, though.

'We' is the whole world.

Non-believers?

We're coming to a time where everyone 'knows' God, and you think we want believers?

Believers in false Gods?

There is only one God who manifest reality at a quantum level, many names in different books, and the idea people think that makes multiple gods is a reason to get rid of them.

People who park their cars in handicapped spaces?

According to all religious traditions, we're judged by our actions, and righteous character.

People who live good lives but refuse to plead for mercy from an all-powerful creator being who can incinerate them?

We're near Hell, many people are evil, plus full of their own ego, and you think God needs a reason to be nice to us.

The appeal wasn't to beg, it was to apologize for making the mistakes, and by doing so show servitude and humbleness.

In my opinion.

You snipped a sentence I wrote to a different poster (who is Christian) and complain I haven't been paying enough attention to you over the last 5 years? Really.
Surely Abrahamaic belief is tied into your 'global religious eschatology'. The amount of Abrahamaic language and imagery you're using is clear enough.

'We' is the whole world.

Ok. In that case...
Judging the hole world as sinful is ridiculous, negative and despotic.

We're coming to a time where everyone 'knows' God, and you think we want believers?

Of course. You realise only one of us is claiming to know God. Or believe. Right?

There is only one God who manifest reality at a quantum level, many names in different books, and the idea people think that makes multiple gods is a reason to get rid of them.

Lucky you're here to save us from those who only think they know God, then.

According to all religious traditions, we're judged by our actions, and righteous character.

Rubbish. You really don't see an Abrahamaic flavour in all this? Appropriating others beliefs is very patronising.

We're near Hell, many people are evil, plus full of their own ego, and you think God needs a reason to be nice to us.

When did I even suggest that? Please, direct quote me on anywhere I suggested that.

Interesting. I need to show servitude and humbleness to a powerful creator, to apologize for 'mistakes'. The world is sinful. I will be torched if I refuse.

And yet, my statement that I'd not beg for my life causes you issues, not with the being that will torch me, but with me. Because...why?

The amount of Abrahamaic language and imagery you're using is clear enough.

It isn't clear, the same exists in Zoroastrian, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Hopi, texts, etc.

Judging the hole world as sinful is ridiculous, negative and despotic.

Who is judging the whole world, the environment is destroyed anyways, and the only hope of survival is being given a new world by the creator...

You're busy arguing, why you don't want to be included, and would rather stay in the fire.

I realize that flips it; yet you're assuming loads, and you've got no clue why any of this is happening according to the OP.

You realise only one of us is claiming to know God. Or believe. Right?

We're in a simulated reality where the CPU processes everything, the idea we're not even aware of it isn't logical.... Can understand rejecting the anthropomorphized ideas tho.

Lucky you're here to save us from those who only think they know God, then.

Not here to save anyone; just to say the Tribulation is coming, and explain people's errors before it happens.

You really don't see an Abrahamaic flavour in all this? Appropriating others beliefs is very patronising.

What is patronizing, is someone with limited knowledge saying that in Dharmic beliefs our actions (karma) doesn't affect our end destination.

In Zoroastrianism our overall character, and actions change how the fire affects us.

In Hopi, Buddhist, Taoist, etc eschatologies the same...

To be honest having spent my life studying all religions, not sure of a single religion that doesn't say we're judged by our actions, and righteous character.

So now since you made the audacious claim, could you please back up a single religion that does say we're not judged by our actions, and righteous character?

Of course there are Abrahamic beliefs encompassed as well, there is only one global eschatology found in many religions.

When did I even suggest that? Please, direct quote me on anywhere I suggested that.

It was an opposite contrast to what you just said; with the idea presented we've all been decent demons living a reasonable life down near Hell, why shouldn't the being treat us as worthy.

not with the being that will torch me, but with me. Because...why?

Think my last answers summarized it, yet will repeat it is possible we're near Hell, and thus what we perceive as being fine, is actually evil...

So loads of people eat meat, drink alcohol, love death more than life, practice black magic, enjoy sadism, and blame instead of take responsibility, etc...

Because we're accustom to this behavior down here we take it as normal, rather than question it could be upside down, and we're the issue within this question.

In my opinion.

I think my appeal will be - my mum made me ....................................................................................................................... do it.
