That’s awful. You think Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, and others should all burn forever?

If you don’t want anything to do with Jesus, He respects your decision.

Lucifer tortures people because God made him to torture people

If you’re talking about hell, no he doesn’t. Hell was made to torture him. Hell wasn’t made for Humans. Heaven was.

Meanwhile, God Himself commanded His people to take slaves, rape, and murder, over and over and over and over. I’m sure you take comfort in that, too.

Rape was never commanded. God executed his judgement on the evil and the wicked. You cannot be mad at God for wiping out the wicked.

A lot of religions don’t even make scientific claims.

Ok. And?

The next president they elect can just take over and abolish elections

I think they should install the monarchy again, then hold free and fair elections to elect a prime minister. Essentially just have a constitutional monarchy.

I showed you the scriptural references regarding the earth and man being cursed

Infants do bad stuff too. They lie and steal and are full of deceit

It’s not necessarily Christian dogma. In fact, people have diverse views surrounding the beginning of Genesis as a whole. The fact of the matter is, suffering on earth isn’t caused by God, it’s a product of The Fall.

Quite frankly, I find comfort in that the scum of this earth will be punished. I don’t need to bear grudges, as God would sort it out. The apocalypse is what this wretched race of people deserve. You see it in the news, we rape, kill and murder each other over lines on maps and money. We were given this earth by Him and we are actively destroying it. It’s actually so merciful of God to even let us live than to just end us all this very second.

If you’re talking about Job, Job makes it clear that it’s Lucifer who tortures people. Lucifer only tortures people when God lifts His protection. But in the end, Job was not only compensated on earth, but is in heaven. I doubt right now that thousands of years later, Job enjoying all of that thousands of years of glory really cares about what happened for those few short decades thousands of years ago.

He punished the evil infants? So what?

Same reason as why sending someone to prison for committing murder isn’t evil. It is justice. Punishing evil isn’t evil. It’s Justice. And God is Perfect, therefore He’s Perfectly Just.

The King James Version was written in 1600s English. The meaning of words have changed a lot over that time period. You can’t just say the meaning of the Bible changes because the English language has changed. That’s just stupidity. The modern translation of that word is closer to “calamity”

I think you need to look at the wider theological view of the text regarding the earth being cursed than what was literally written down. The earth being cursed essentially could have brought about animal suffering, natural disasters, droughts, etc. Another view one could have had is that they still could have happened but they wouldn’t have actually hurt people due to human mortality being introduced by the fall.

Marriage is the ideal prerequisite. But society has fallen.
