They don't go to heaven, where the Angels fly.
Can you prove that? I do not believe that God punishes anyone, good or bad, and As I have said Gen 9:6 even murderers are to be dealt with by humans but there still is a reckoning...God forgave Adam and Cain , so I wonder what the reckoning will be? I don"t know, not having died yetLike Jesus was crucified with the robbers, the pious and the impure go the same way, into the grave and turn into dust. Nature treats them the same way.
Why is it horrible exactly?How horrible!

Why is it horrible exactly?
It seems a very unpleasant dogma, I hope I am right in the belief that there is no god or afterlife and when one dies one ceases to be.
Not in the least. God does not judge us on wordly affairs. Remember the true God as expressed in Genesis up to 9:19 (the rest of the Bible being nonsense) forgave Adam, Cain and only destroyed that humanity that had been corrupted by the nephilim
Even those that shed blood will be dealt with by human hands (Gen 9 ) The account/reckoning does not necessarily mean punishment and besides all our souls belong to God
Read my link on this forum if you want to understand my view. it could save a lot of arguing.
Of course. Apologies.You are entitled to your view, just as I am entitled to mine.
Use common-sense instead of relying on repeatedly edited scriptures... even murderers are to be dealt with by humans but there still is a reckoning...God forgave Adam and Cain, so I wonder what the reckoning will be? I don"t know, not having died yet ..

There is a lot of word salad in scdriptures, all scriptures, i.e..
I am sorry. i am sure your intellect and logic is huge but you do not read carefully.. My aim is to destroy the Abrahamic religions from within, because IMO they are false and misleading. You taking potshots at scriptures and theists is one way to do it, but I have my wayNice, but why cling to two thousand year old ideas?
Ii don't just quote from scriptures, as you know I interpret them my own way and secondly how i choose to answer a question is up to me not you, with the greatest of respect .
Ah, that is a new angle which I have never encountered before. But as an atheist, to me existence of God an interfering God, good or evil, is just not possible. Nothing prevented me from becoming one with Brahman other than my ignorance, and I crossed that barrier. 'Aham Brahmasmi' (I am Brahman), "Ayamatma Brahman' (This self is Brahman), 'Sarvam Khalu Idam Brahman' (All things here, (are verily) brahman).My aim is to destroy the Abrahamic religions from within, because IMO they are false and misleading. .. The first step in deprogramming an Abrahamic Theist is to remove the certainty that they have God on their side. .. The early parts of Genesis are Sumerian-flavoured and that is where the truth of all things lie, in the beginning.
So what prevents you becoming as one with Brahaman. Could it be your intolerance of the views of others perhaps?
I work the late shiftEven if you believe in the Bible, it says that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night and other verses speak of people not recognizing him.

All intolerance are at the worldly level, none at the absolute level. We term the two levels as 'Vyavaharika' (Pragmatic) and 'Paramarthika' (Absolute). You too are Brahman, 'Tat twam asi' (That you are).
