I never got a call and I'm not in "spiritual pain". He's altogether untraceable, unless you want to play the game of ascribing good things with perfectly worldly causes to the alleged, omnipotent "good things happen because of me"-guy. It makes no sense, especially since there's plenty of gods with similar properties on the market.
It being a place you're sent to is older than Christianity and plenty of Christian sects still believe that it is. Maybe try convincing them first, at least they agree on the there being a god at all.
Also what's libmbo/purgatory then? Another set of metaphors?
Atheists don't believe in any god period, that's kinda the whole concept.
Okay bro, take it up with the Christians, I'm not advocating for the gospel. I'm explaining what the faith is claimed to be by the most mainstream sects of Christianity. I am not here to convert anyone, I'm merely explaining these edgy memes fail because they require buying into popular misconceptions about Christianity, instead of mocking what those of the faith are actually claiming to be the case.
What are you doing is buying into and spreading misconceptions of what the faith is, and proving your poor grasp on reading comprehension in the process.
Btw, Wikipedia is not a credible source. Thought you learned that in Grade School.
Shouldn't have added that line, made it clear that you're just trolling.
Actually I'm not trolling, Wikipedia has become a circle jerk over the years, and people are very much encouraged to find sources outside if wikipedia. However by jumping to claim that someone is trolling simply because you disagree with them, you are participating in not only a bad faith argument but you are also trolling.
Whatever you may think about Wikipedia, it's right on many Christian sects thinking that hell is a real place that you go to for eternity. Heck, you know that that's true, right?
No I don't, because literal hell is a Southern Baptist / Evangelical position, more mainstream forms of Christianity such as Catholicism do not subscribe to it
