God made hell for Satan and his angels, He didn't create man and then right after that created hell for us. God does love us all, that's why He gives us all a chance to become saved, that's why He sent Jesus to die for us. God is love, but He is also a just God.

Wait, you're an athiest right? Then, to you guys life has no purpose or meaning, so why are you even bringing this up? A logical answer from an athiest would be to sit around and wait to become evolved.

Yes well you may believe that, which is fine. But regardless of a persons religion I think it is stupid (for lack of a better word) to say you've accepted the fact you will die and at the same time believe you have an eternal soul.
And by the way man, where did you pull that "the purpose of an atheists life is to sit around and wait to become evolved"? 😆 It may come as a shock to some but you can lead a happy and fruitful life without believing in an omnipotent being.
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Life?

This, in a sense, summarizes all other questions asked. It is usually understood as: "What are the highest values, the Supreme Goals which I should try to achieve?". We stress that every human being must freely set those goals for himself or herself. The Supreme Goal which we choose derives logically from our cybernetic world view: to make a constructive contribution to the evolution of humanity, in order to maximize our long-term chances of survival (immortality). In essence, the 'meaning of life' is to increase evolutionary fitness. Do you agree?
its what the aliens want us to do 😊
Then, to you guys life has no purpose or meaning, so why are you even bringing this up?life has just as much purpose for atheist as it has for christians. Dont overexaggerate the importance of christians. It is so typical chrisitan to be plain arrogant towards other way of seeing things.
So riddle me this ska57 if the meaning of life for a christian is to worship god so your so called soul can go to the place in the sky you call heaven, why dont you all just pray for some hours and roll over and die. We talked about slavery earlier on, well aint it slavery to to have struggle to life worshiping this god to get entrance to heaven.
The perfect thing would be to die right after you learn and accepted the way of jesus all the rest would be a waste of time, unless your god is so conceited he thrives on people worshiping and slave for him/her/it. If thats the case the idea behind your god is just nothing but that an a**hole god

What the Fudge are you rambling on about now you weirdo?? OK, so that's a little low even for me, but come on, you've rammed your views down people's throats for the last three pages or so, MY Turn methinks.
First of all, I am an atheist. This does not constitute as me having to sit on my @ss all day long doing sweet FA. Stupid. Sit around and wait to become evolved?? I am evolved honey, further than you're ever going to get with your age old faith and ridiculous preachings. How can you possibly believe so strongly in something written and re written by people you've never met? The Bible; A slapdash scrapbook of opinions, sans facts, of the way the world should be. But isn't. If you want your views appreciated I suggest you offer them for analysis, don't be so sure as to shove them in our faces and expect them to be digested. Not gonna happen around here my friend.
For the record, I apologise for insult caused, I do not mean to sound as if I am trying to degrade anyone for their views, but I believe Ska to be rude and obnoxious. Mr Almighty Himself must be shaking his head at Ska's attitude right now.

Our bodies are just shells that we live in, the shell dies, but our soul is still there. God then judges us.

Everyone can live a happy life but no one can truly live a fruitful life if they think they live with no purpose.

"why dont you all just pray for some hours and roll over and die."
Because God wants us to go out into the world and share the Gospel to the lost so that they might become saved from hell and spend eternity with God.
"We talked about slavery earlier on, well aint it slavery to to have struggle to life worshiping this god to get entrance to heaven."
Being a Christain is to be saved from the bondage of sin. I don't call worshiping being a slave, I do it because I love my Lord and Savior.
"The perfect thing would be to die right after you learn and accepted the way of jesus all the rest would be a waste of time..."
A Christain's life would be a waste if we didn't share God's Word with the world.
"...unless your god is so conceited he thrives on people worshiping and slave for him/her/it."
God loves us, and He desire men everywhere to be saved. He doesn't desire to put anyone into hell, the choice is ours.
but no one can truly live a fruitful life if they think they live with no purpose.I can
A Christain's life would be a waste if we didn't share God's Word with the world.ever occured to you that the world might not be interested
God loves us, and He desire men everywhere to be saved. He doesn't desire to put anyone into hell, the choice is ours.Well theres no party in heaven so hell would be the place to be 😎
Because God wants us to go out into the world and share the Gospel to the lost so that they might become saved from hell and spend eternity with God.who wants to spend eternity with a failure of an omnipotent being, and people stray away from the gospel cause they found it to be plain BS. So the last thing they want is to listen to some goody two shoes continuing preaching those ridicoluse tales of the bible

When have I ever done that? All I've done was answer questions you ask me and share Christain beliefs.
"First of all, I am an atheist. This does not constitute as me having to sit on my @ss all day long doing sweet FA."
I don't mean sitting around litteraly, I mean just living meaningless lives just to become evolved...kinda sounds sad.
"I am evolved honey, further than you're ever going to get with your age old faith and ridiculous preachings."
Sorry but, you are proving those 'ridiculous preachings' by saying just that.
"How can you possibly believe so strongly in something written and re written by people you've never met? The Bible; A slapdash scrapbook of opinions, sans facts, of the way the world should be."
Syren, how can you believe so strongly about a science book written and re written by people you've never met? Science books; a slapdash scrapbook of opinions, sans facts, of the way the world supposidly is. I believe in the Bible because it's the only way to explain how the universe was created, because I've seen Biblical prophecy fulfilled, and I have felt completed and no more longing or emptiness when I discovered Christ.

"I can"
You think so? Can you bring earthly possessions with you after you die? No. The only way you can be fruitful in life is that if you share Christ to others and become saved.
"ever occured to you that the world might not be interested"
Yes. But I also do not want to see you or anyone else go to hell so I will keep on trying.
"Well theres no party in heaven so hell would be the place to be 😎"
Hell is a place of eternal punishment and torture, heaven is eternal paradise, all eternity is probably a party in heaven. I know you only said that just to make fun of the Bible. I read a post by you in the "Why Are You An Atheist" thread and you said something like 'don't post if you do not know what you are talking about', next time you want to make a comment on hell, please know about it.
"who wants to spend eternity with a failure of an omnipotent being, and people stray away from the gospel cause they found it to be plain BS. So the last thing they want is to listen to some goody two shoes continuing preaching those ridicoluse tales of the bible"
God has not failed, He conquered over Satan when Jesus died on the cross and He has reached through to the world through other people. It is not God that failed, it is us. The reason why people stray from the Gospel is because Satan is decieving you into not believing it, I know the last thing you WANT is to listen to that Bible and us Christains, but it is what you NEED to hear.
