"Conspiracy theory on God" or "Just me thinking out loud"

Well, from my viewpoint as a non-believer, I believe I would demand an explanation from god first. His methods seem absolutely ridiculous if we judge them from the major religious texts. They caused an enormous amount of suffering in the world, unneccesary deaths by the millions. Then he would have to explain why an advanced being would need to be worshipped, it seems such a trivial thing. In other words, if the christian god is true, I am on my way to hell. I don't think I am going to lose any sleep over it though.

Most Christians will disagree with you completely. I, as a Christian, will not disagree. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the father but by me." I've always taken this to mean that HE is the gatekeeper. Peter doesn't judge the people at the gate, Jesus does. He decides the good and the bad and the good could be athiests as well.

God will forgive people who are really truly sorry for all of the wrong they have done in their lives, but I believe that we go where we want to after we die. Our minds set the destination.

i never thought of it that way, though it makes great sense. your theory seems about right to me, because all along i have never been able to believe that this great and merciful god every christian i have ever met has told me about would be able to send poor children and old peaceful great men who have never heard of him to hell. [ie, african natives who live and die without ever leaving their villages, buddhist monks who live more peaceful lives than most anyone else, etc.] i like this theory, and if god is real, i surely hope this is the way it is when i reach my judgement day.

Hi, I believe that if I am existing here in this life given to me with senses and the nature around me with lot of glory, it's just because Some SUPER POWER is EXISTING and HE is my CREATOR and HE IS MY GOD... If you look with logic, you would end probably that GOD IS REALLY EXISTING... for more clarifications and concilliations please visit : www.irf.net and see thru all the resources that clarify thru any end about the REAL GOD from all the scriptures of all the religions around the globe and Science...

I think you have presented an interesting scenario..and you could be on to something. After witnessing so much hypocracy and bigotry within extreme fundamentalism I agree that they may have a fair bit of 'atoning' to do when they get to the other side. My view is that there are many pathways on the raod to enlightenment. The aspect of free choice and how authentically we live our lives is, in my view of greater significance than what dogma a person follows. A non religious person...or atheist cold stand a better chance of advancing themselves along their soul path than a supposed religious person who is non-loving, controlling, maniplating and dogmaticaaly tells others how misguided they are. Good topic...interesting responses!

That is a truely interesting religious conspiracy-am christian, and I know God Exists and he is sharing in your conspiracy right now! Firstly when you are here on earth saying you have not heard about God or his laws is no defence-If you are christian, the Bible has been there for you to read God's words, the churches have also been there so feining ignorance will not help you on judgement day! Sin is sin and remains so whether you commit it knowingly or unknowingly-a person who commits a sin without knowing what the context of sin is from the christian view point will not be forgiven if he appears before a Christian God on Judgement day!Try Another God on judgement day over this! Lastly, when you appear before a Christian God on Judgement day, there is no room to plead for forgiveness, if you want forgiveness, seek it now before it is too late-on judgement day, God and His Angels will be too busy going through the lists of your sins, ticking those for which repentented and marking with red ink those which you committed without repenting-when the computer adds up your sins, and those that never attracted any repentence out weighed those for which repented, the Angel on duty will not listen to your pleas for mercy anymore-you will be directed to the sea of everlasting fire and there you will grind your teeth in pain eternally, while your friends who passed the sin test will be singng and praisng God in Eternal Peace! This is my view of you before a Christian God form the ontext of your conspiracy

Hmmm - it is a very interesting theory. As an Atheist for many years, I can't say I can ever envisage even the smallest possibility that there is a heaven or a hell, or a "hereafter" - but I guess if you are thinking hypothetically, then the scenario you draw could quite well be possible!

That is the whole purpose of spreading the Gospel, alnilam, so that everyone in the world will have the chance to get to know and believe in God. That is why Christ is not supposed to return to earth until the word of God has reached every corner of the world. So no one will really have an excuse.

Dear alnilam, I will not presume that God really exists but tell you what the Bible says to your point. According to the New Testament, all men are sinners by nature and all men are responsible to God for their sins. The Good News are that Jesus Christ -God himself- took over this responsibility by suffering the punishment for it. This Good News (or Gospel) is eventually spread by thankful people who were saved. Now we must pay attention carefully: in consequence to the above, there are three groups of people: 1. Those who learned to know the Gospel and were moved to believe that Jesus is their savior as well. They repented of their former sins and God pardoned them. They cease to be culprits. But the old and corrupted nature is still there, they can sin again! Yes, but now the way to God is open, they can ask for pardon at any time and not only this, God's own Holy Spirit works within them, their old and sinful nature undergoes a process of transformation that will last their lifetime. When they die, God will judge them, but he will see that their sins have already been washed away by Jesus and that throughout their life they tried to "walk, as He walked". This groups is declared "save" from now, but it depends on yourself to live following God's principles. If you break them again and again, you're likely to enter the next group. 2. Those who learned to know the Gospel and where given many opportunities to turn to God but rejected stubbornly to repent and to ask for pardon. That's the only thing God is not able to forgive. Why? Because his justica can't give pardon when none is asked for. These are the people that we must worry about, the more as it is never to late, not befor the last breath, that a man or a woman may render to God. This group is condemned by its own decision, but anybody can take the step to enter the group of the saved. 3. Those who never learned to know the Gospel in a way they could understand what it is about. They live according to the laws and customs of their culture, their religion. They know to tell Good from Evil, according to the interpretation they have learned. They can be "goo" according to the understanding they have of being good. We learn from people in precivilization that there are very clear rules about respect for human life, human relations, etc. Those who lived according to what CONSCIENCE shows them as good -and in lack of Gospel's Good News-, will be judged by what their own conscience pronounces, better said, by their pure conscience, before it got insensible under the influence of life and society. So you see, God's justice and God's love already worked together and your "conspiracy" isn't a conspiracy at all. Just one thing more: we cannot prolongue the decision into the next life, we must make it here and now. Thanks for that interesting question!

Not believing in God and not knowing who God is are two totally different things. If you choose not to believe in God and not obey his law that is your problem. If you never knew about God then that is another story. How can you obey something if you never knew about it? One thing I do know is God is a merciful God and a just God. For example, lets take someone that has severe mental disabilities. They more than likely lack intelligence to be able to comprehend God, Religon and so on. When they die would God condemn them to Hell? I seriously doubt it. Than again, I am not God, I cannot judge. Also, there is more to "getting in to heaven" than just believing and going to church. God would look at your whole life and judge you on that. We are all sinners, including Christians. A sin is a sin in Gods eyes. No sin is greater than the other. For Christians, we have the ability to repent for our sins and be forgiven.

Hi! GOD is present everywhere & dwellsin everyone.Each person has to pay for his own DEEDS...AS you sow, so you reap!!GOD is the witness for everyone's Account of deeds,He knows if we do our sins knowingly or unknowingly & gives us accordingly,be it in this birth or the next.So if we believe in GOD, have faith in HIM, &accept things as they come,believe that whatever happens, happens for our GOOD,we would not have any doubts,& would stop thinking of HEAVEN or HELL,sins , lies,etc.Follow your conscience , & reach great HEIGHTS & stop thinking anything else.GOD BLESS!! www.creatingcolourfulfuture.com

Well for one, G♥d is forgiving and doesn't favor anyone, but once you die, the choice you made is the choice you will be judged with. And for two, it is getting to the point where there are no cold people, (as in never heard the gospel), because of our technology, just about everyone knows, there are no excuses. And for three, people who believe has their sins cleansed through Y'shua,(Jesus), so those sins are throw in the deepest of oceans.

Regardless of your faith, we will all find out the very next second after our last breath.
