People, I have been contacted.

I KNOW!!!

But it is true.
I have been contacted by a godbod.
A person of deep spiritual persuasion.
Evidently, my pages, offend them.
They offend them so much that I am going to hell.
I am possessed by a demon, hate god and his creation and, as such deserve the hell that this person feels is my comeuppance and just deserts.

Well, that's me chastised then.

In order to restrain myself from instantly forcing my knees to hit the floor in a desperate attempt at supplication to god that he might extend mercy to my already smoldering soul, I decided, instead and, because I am an open and caring sharing guy, to tell you, what I think and the feelings it raised in me.

First, the feelings:
Being told that I am going to hell and deserve it and that I am possessed by a 'demon of deception', made me feel, well, to be brutally frank, absolutely nothing.
Sorry godbod.

Please, godpods, don't stand at a distance and throw biblical quotes at me like a kid throwing stones and then run away.
I am happy to discuss religion with you.
But it must be a discussion.
If you want to know why I am an atheist please ask.
I am happy to discuss this. Just as I am happy to discuss anything.

If you want to put forward your own beliefs that is also welcomed.
But if you spout judgment and tell me that you are happy that I am going to hell, don't expect a logical discussion from me.

To my mind, beliefs should be like any other knowledge.
They adapt as you learn.
My views change to accommodate information gathered.
It is the only way to get near to the truth.
Most religious people spend their lives hiding from information because it does not fit with their particular world view and it threatens everything they believe, including how they see themselves and others .
If you are one of those people please don't start preaching at me.

Having said that, again, I state that I am happy to chat with anyone.
Fairly, non judgmentally and honestly.
Just have the decency to not tell me I deserve and am going to hell.
It simply demonstrates that you have the maturity level of someone telling me they will get their dad to beat me up.

People, you be happy! As far as anyone knows, we only have one life. Don't spend it suffering and stifling yourself in the unproven hope of a better life after this one.
It is a waste of who you are.

I am an atheistic hedonist.
I have a taste for truth, honesty and lady lips.
I am not sorry if that displeases you.
I AM HAPPY.
