      Don’t worry. There are infinite potential Gods you could be angering no matter which choice you make.

          I’m sure that shit afterward will be just like the shit that came before. You made it through twenty billion years of nothing just fine, you’ll be able to do it again. No bills, no student loans, no hours taking forever, your back doesn’t feel like that when you stand up.

      why would the religion based on a 2000 year old doomsday prophet be real, but the one based on the moon being your mom be wrong? think about it.

      No worry, as a very practicing Christian with friends in different traditions, I can say nobody but a few extremists (evangelicals, radical islamists, …) believes that being atheist prevent you to be saved.

      Edit: to the downvoters: I mean I know I’m on Lemmy, an atheist echo chamber, but here I’m stating a fact (heaven and hell may exist or not exist, that doesn’t change the fact that most people believing they do don’t think atheists automatically go in hell) to help someone being a guilt-free atheist… you don’t think your automatic response was a little counter-productive here? I’m making a point for your team!

        Needing to differentiate yourself from bad Christians is the problem. No matter how tolerant you are, you still make decisions based on magic. Shits insane.

          Islamist ≠ Muslim. Here a link which explains the difference.

          And colloquially, the difference is even greater, at least in French, my mother tongue. Two of my best friends are a Muslim couple, they are the most regular players of my DnD table. Some times we stop our games for them to pray. They are devout Muslims, but not islamists.

              I don’t think most people get it wrong. In fact you’re the first one I meet, both IRL and on the Internet, who thinks that Islamist = Muslim. But it may be because English is not my mother tongue, maybe it’s clearer in French than in English. If it’s the case, I’m sorry for my mistake (I added a precision to correct it).

                    That’s an interesting sect of Christianity. I’m not being shitty, I promise and this is an honest question. How does your church handle the inconsistencies in the bible? Do you have your own version other than the King James?

                    As Reformed churches, we belong to those churches of the Protestant Reformation that acknowledge Jesus Christ as Head of his church. He rules and governs his church by his Word and his Spirit, not by the dictates of men. Therefore, the authority of the creeds and confessions, to which all our office-bearers subscribe as fully agreeing with the Word of God, is always subordinate to the authority of his inspired and infallible Word, the Bible. It was in that context that our forefathers wrote the following Reformed confessions, also known as the Three Forms of Unity: the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Canons of Dort. The ministers, elders, and deacons of each congregation sign the Form of Subscription as a promise to preserve and to propagate the faith contained in these doctrinal standards to the utmost of their abilities. With minor variations, this form has been used since the Reformation.
