re: Hell is real. Non-Christians and unbelievers I would love your thoughts. I love you guys.

When I die, frick it, I wanna go to hell
'Cause I'm a piece of shite, it ain't hard to frickin' tell
It don't make sense, goin' to heaven with the goodie-goodies
Dressed in white, I like black Timbs and black hoodies
God'll prob'ly have me on some real strict shite
No sleepin' all day, no gettin' my dick licked
Hangin' with the goodie-goodies, loungin' in paradise
frick that shite, I wanna tote guns and shoot dice

How did the admins let this go, clearly a religion thread which is banned on here.

I've always wondered why there isn't a religion page?

Most atheists don’t believe this

You're right, which is my point. They believe there is no God and that belief (or lack thereof) necessitates the lack of inherent human value and lack of moral objectivity, yet many if not most people (including atheists) live their lives as if people have inherent value and dignity and that there are moral absolutes. It's because they haven't thought through the logical conclusions of their presuppositions, yet I would not say atheists are lying when they make claims that aren't supported by their held beliefs or take actions that are inconsistent with those same beliefs. The same thing happens with Christians with their claimed beliefs vs. their actions. Everyone is inconsistent to one degree or another, but lack of consistency doesn't mean the held beliefs aren't actually held or that the individual is lying.

No they don’t, they act in opposition to their CLAIMED beliefs about reality. That’s the entire point

---

You seem to think that Christians are lying about what they claim to believe because they are not making the connection between the existence of Hell and the necessity of preaching the gospel to everyone. You're making a distinction between core beliefs and claims (and actions) related to those core beliefs as if they are fundamentally different things for most Christians due to lies or apathy rather than some other reason such as ignorance or lack of thoughtfulness. I don't see that. I see a lack of understanding about beliefs but I don't see intentional lying or deception about claimed beliefs vs. held beliefs as the rule.

Sure, and we diagnose them with mental illness and usually end up institutionalizing them for their own protection and the protection of others.

I think you're being too literal. I'm not talking about those who specifically work against their belief in gravity but the concept of acknowledging a held belief while acting inconsistently with that belief. It happens all the time and no one is entirely consistent, for many reasons. It's not a mental illness to miss a rational, logical connection between cause and effect in relation to held beliefs. Just think of the political rhetoric that is spouted by politicians where the cure only exacerbates the disease and where the solution only makes the problem worse. It's because these people don't see that the real-world application of their worldviews and presuppositions doesn't conform to reality, or at least the results don't logically flow as they expect. This is a lot more common than you're giving credit, and it isn't just Christians who act inconsistently.

These,” scholars” do have a way of creating explanations to reach their narratives.

This isn't some BS liberal CRT thing. It's like first-year seminary for most denominations. Paul also only wrote 6-7 of the dozen biblical letters attributed to him. This is widely accepted by any Christian scholar of reputation. For decades, even centuries and millenia.

There are many proofs

No

Yes, there are. The greatest, in my estimation, apart from the indwelling work of the Holy Spirit testifying to these things is the transcendental argument that says that the proof of God's existence is that if He didn't exist, we couldn't prove anything at all, including scientific and logical inference, or even moral absolutes.
