A Christian telling an atheist they're going to hell is as scary as a child telling an adult they're not getting any presents from Santa.
You won't burn in hell. But be nice anyway.
Spirituality really lost its way when it became a stick to beat people with: ‘Do this or you’ll burn in hell.
Do unto others…’ is a good rule of thumb. I live by that. Forgiveness is probably the greatest virtue there is. But that’s exactly what it is - a virtue. Not just a Christian virtue. No one owns being good. I’m good. I just don’t believe I’ll be rewarded for it in heaven. My reward is here and now. It’s knowing that I try to do the right thing. That I lived a good life. And that’s where spirituality really lost its way. When it became a stick to beat people with. ‘Do this or you’ll burn in hell.’ You won’t burn in hell. But be nice anyway.
Do this or you’ll burn in hell.
