I was thinking about this issue this morning. Christians think they they have compelling evidence that their religion is true, and they just need to convince us nonbelievers of this evidence and then we’ll start going to church (plus whatever else they expect/want). However, providing actual evidence that their god is real isn’t enough, and I don’t think they grasp that. Let’s say that Christians are able to provide actual good evidence in this area: I would start believing their god is real, but I wouldn’t repent or start worshipping him because their god is a genocidal monster.

In the end, it doesn’t matter if their god is real, because we’d all be under duress to worship him just to avoid an eternity of torture. It’s garbage. I’d rather suffer for eternity than worship a god like theirs. But they only think about the first hand of the problem, and many of them deny that their god is malevolent.

    Christians have been brainwashed into thinking that they owe it to god to worship him because he saved them from hell. My problem with that is he created hell and decided that humans should go there if they don’t believe in him.
