I know that’s what you have read but it may not be true. :)
I believe our task here is to try and become better people, better souls. And that our choices every day matters a lot more than we think.
I don’t believe in a vengeful god at all. I don’t think anyone gets punished, even evil people. Because evil creates what some people need to evolve here in this realm.
To me it makes sense it’s more of a school for souls. Everything I see around me represents suffering, because that’s how we learn to overcome it and grow. It’s an evil place because people make it so, in order to grow.
There’s a whole lot of moral judgement involved too.
So you have to believe, but if you’re bad you clearly didn’t actually believe or you’d have repented and changed. And no, bad is not relative, that’s the point of having a God decide what is acceptable.
Downvoters and reporters: I believe this person was speaking on behalf of crazy religious people in an effort to explain what they believed. Looking at their post history, I do not think they actually believe what they are saying.

Good for you, but the literature says otherwise.
Nah, you’re all wrong and you’re all gonna burn!

Feel free to correct me on this.
I know it does. :) It was my first sentence above.
Did you downvote me for not agreeing with you?
Take the downvote like a reasonable person.
