I'm not really a bible scholar so I would just be googling an answer. I think maybe there's something about they would get a chance at judgement day or something. I don't really know though.alright so what happens to the people that never hear of Christ before they die, what happens to them ?
There are definitely those that believe that. I'm just saying it's not a requirement for being a Christian.Obviously it varies depending upon who you ask, even those within the same religion, but the nuns that my coworker helps out periodically at their monastery straight up say that anyone not of their faith (Greek Orthodox) is a heretic and going to Hell, and that anyone not baptized is as well. Which includes anyone that has never heard of Christ, anyone born BEFORE Christ, etc. But then he goes to the next monastery and they are a lot more tolerant. The ones that want to condemn everyone to Hell came straight from Greece.
Personally I can't reconcile a God that would condemn everyone but a select few to eternal suffering. So I have my own interpretation, and hopefully I'm close.

I once heard Hell described as the complete absence of God/the creator/whatever you want to call it. In my mind it feels correct. Not necessarily a punishment but a simple, "you have chosen to reject me so here you go, enjoy eternity without me".any of you faggots that don’t want to hear my new age hippy bullshit put me on ignore.
I’ve been looking back at my atheism with a different perspective. Ive been having a lot of conversations with someone I’m close with. Ever since I told him I believe in a creator again, while thrilled I’m no longer an atheist, he has been optimistically trying to get me to go back to the mainstream version of Christianity I was raised in and it got me thinking.
My idea of hell is suffering for eternity. My idea of eternity is if you think that every single atom in the universe each represents 100 trillion years, that is not even a tiny fraction of eternity.
If I was forced into believing the mainstream view of Christianity with no alternatives available I’d have to either kill myself to get out of this world or become a missionary, buy a boat, and try to convert the people on sentinel island. I could not coexist in this world if mainstream Christianity was the only option I had available. I couldn’t cope with the majority of humanity going to hell for, mainly, not being born to Christian parents.
Hey man, thanks for posting. I like really MFF’s posts and the fact that he doesn’t need to post his opinion all the time. This phenomenon is so complex and confusing for a million different reasons I think it’s better to withhold judgment rather than take a stance on every little piece of information/misinformation. I don’t think anyone should ever feel the need to provide their opinion when posting a link that relates directly relates to this topic. I’ve been balls deep in this thread and looking into this phenomenon for a few years now and only recently feel like I understand it enough from a certain angle that I feel like I can start posting my opinions. No one should feel compelled to post opinions about this. MMF posts a lot of stuff that I don’t run into anywhere but this thread so I appreciate that. I don’t really give a fuck what his opinion is, I’m glad I formed my own opinions about what he posts.Hey, at least you state right up front that it is just your opinions and thoughts. You could just be posting random Twatter links with absolutely no commentary as to what you think about it.
I respect you and others that at least own a position and put yourselves out there. Even if I don't agree with something like that, who cares? At least you took a stance.
Only explanation that would make sense is that the drones or whatever is being developed is to be deployed in populated areas and they can't get the test data they want in a fully controlled environment.WIth what's going on in Ukraine it makes a ton of sense that every defense contractor would be madly developing drones. What doesn't make sense though that they would be testing them at night in populated areas. Why wouldn't they just fly them out at the Nevada test sight like all the other experimental flying shit?
