Not that Hell scares me, but I really need to know what I can say to defend myself against these hateful, brainwashed people that if I don't believe like them, something bad is going to happen after I die. I won't follow their belief because I just don't believe it and their God is too damn petty for me and to even give it the time of the day. This is the only life I get as far as I know and it won't be wasted on a man made God, let alone a God who says the Jews are his chosen people.
Damn I offer them a ride on my bus...free of charge
Try not to piss yourself laughing at them; that is may recommendation.
I always speak honestly and say: How can I be concerned with going to hell when I know hell does not exist? Except, possibly, for the one we sometimes create for ourselves right here on Earth in the here and now.
What would make you think there is a hell? Which religion are you referring to? And if Christian which sect? Mormon? Jehovia Witness. Catholic, Orthodox Christian? Jewish? Hindu Hell? Islamic Hell? Which version? Sunni Shia,This punitive unfounded belief is substantiated by... what? That's what I say...
Except Mormons do not believe in hell, rather multiple levels of heaven where you are with others of your same tendencies - Mormons actually have a lot of Eastern ideas - such as these 'astral' plane schools on better behavior. (Gnani Yogi Philosophy)
Shrug it off like it's not a big deal just to show them you're not afraid of made up threats. I mean you can argue with them if you want, but most of the time it's not worth it.
If you're feeling standoffish then yea, you can point out all the flaws with the idea of hell and the god that devised such a place and the rules around it. Otherwise you just look at them like they're a crazy person and walk away.
What do you do when any bully makes an empty threat? Be prepared. Whatever your response, ponder it, own it, be comfortable with it.
I tell people they're entitled to believe whatever they want, and so am I.
Ask if they serve beer there. It's a waste of time talking to them. 30% love Trump no matter what and a huuuuge % are cross-eyed mouth-frothing evangelics. So they lost all claim agains moral-relativism which was their complaint and biiig argument. They are cluuuuuueless. It's like arguing how many angels dance on a head of a pin? (A favorite theological argument in the middle ages)
I've tried saying that I don't fear Hell because a) I don't believe in its existence, b) I've been through enough over the past couple of years personally that I don't fear it c) I'll assume Dante's Inferno was right and I'll just be hanging out with the non-believers and righteous yet unbaptized, so things could be worse, but yeah, I'll deal with the torments of having to wait for a table for Sunday brunch, or d) I'm really just not that enthused about meeting the Apostle Paul or reuniting with the self-appointed gatekeepers of the facility.
L.O.L. do not waste your time with nasty fatheads!
