I used logic to come to my understanding. I don't need some cultist to twist quotes and use faulty reason to justify their indoctrination. A god getting tortured for a few hours just like many mortal men did means nothing. And if god knows the future he wouldn't have allowed all of this to happen in the first place. And it's funny that Jesus was saving us from himself.... of being burned alive by him for ETERNITY. Anyone with common sense would choose hanging from a cross for a while besides eternal hellfire. And if such dire consequences were at stake I would do more than just prove my existence with a book just like every other religion does. Just admit that you are afraid of the unknown and you want "comforting" answers for this chaotic reality you were forced into.
What logic did you use to come to your belief about what happens after death? Objective morality exists, and it matters for what comes next. What hope do you have for passing the test, if you don't even know the topic and haven't seen a study guide? [Once the study guide is understood, the need for "someone else" to take the test is obvious, but you aren't there yet.]
You insult me by calling me a cultist. Ok. What quotes did I twist? You mean the Transfiguration of Christ Jesus? If you want to establish the legitimacy of the Bible (or New Testament) for the sake of argument/discussion, that's fine. But don't turn around and trash it in the next sentence.
You are clearly very angry and arrogant. I can't fix either of those, but I hope you see the folly of your ways before it's too late.
Logic says that non of that makes any sense, just like we know it doesn't make sense that Ra has to fight Apep every night so that the sun may rise again. Not one god has revealed themselves to us and looking at the way reality is atheist/agnostics and deist have the best answer. It's best to live in this life now and to not care what comes after, for it is irrelevant. After I stopped believing in the Abrahamic god, nothing changed in my life but the relief that I won't burn in some hell for all time just because I didn't blindly believe in some god without evidence. And that my arguments for morality can't just come from "cause this book says so".
