Why are Christians like this?

[shadyreapers_]

My grandma is a christian and i told her im a buddhist , She told me i Will go to hell because There's ONLY One God ,the God of Israel and his son ,Jesus Christ,came to die for all our sins and was the only perfect creature made by his image and every religion that contradicts them Will go to hell? How are they so Faithfull on such nonsense?

It might be confusing at first, but crack is an astral projecter, every drug is an astral projecter, every star you see in the night sky has a binary code attached to a being

Its a lost cause. What's your race anyway

Christians see it as them saving you, by saying this to you they hope you'll see through to god and that you'll go to his kingdom or whatever. It's a fear tactic really, the same one that was imposed unto them ever since they were children, its a cycle.

I don't need Christ, Pinky Pie saved my arvan soul! Inshallah we'll live to see Agartha together as a couple!

I hate Pinkie Pie actually; she is loud and annoying, much like a black woman. Christcucks like you are being phased out thankfully.

Look, I’m not a Christian (or a Buddhist) but I think your focus should be on maintaining a strong connection with your grandmother. It’s fine to vent privately like you’re doing here. But I hope you don’t let this drive a wedge between you, even though she is the one who’s up in arms. The logical conclusion of her beliefs is that you’ll burn in eternal hell for not believing what she does. Much as you and I both disagree, her concern just shows how much she loves you.

I would avoid getting into any conversation with her about it. “I don’t agree, but I don’t want to have a debate and I am very grateful you love me so much” can go a long way. If she insists on haranguing you, gently set a healthy boundary that you’ll have to leave the room if she won’t drop it — and then follow through, but not in a pissy way.

Basically you have to be the mature adult in this situation. She’s just working with what she’s got. She’s not going to change. So you just have to focus on the fact that she loves you and let go of any need for her to approve of or even understand your beliefs. She’s not going to.

Nah bro she needs to beat his ass and set him straight. As a matter of fact, she is objectively correct. This user is a druggie. He will go to hell one way or another.

That was actually very caring, i didn't expect such a reply
And btw its cool i dont hold grudges

Nibbana is hell. Medieval legends often depict the deepest pit of hell as a frigid crystaline wasteland where the damned are frozen in place and stuck in perpetual stillness... sound familiar?

I’ve been dealing with a similar situation for the last 20 years. Not everything should be discussed between family members who love each other but have fundamental disagreements on things that matter very much to all concerned. What matters is being able to show up for one another in all the ways that family should, which means maintaining the emotional bond. Feel free to DM if you’d like.

If you think of Nurgle you have a very good idea.

Because she's ignorant.

Not only does she not know what she's talking about, but also according to her beliefs, her supposed all loving god will send her grandson/daughter to hell because they're a buddhist (one of the least problematic major religions in general).

Her own hatred actually overwhelms any genuine faith she has. A complete rube, there's no mystery to this.

You don't know what your talking about... why would a loving God force people to be with Him in Heaven for all eternity when they clearly reject Him on earth? They don't want to be with God so why should He force them? How is that loving?

What a simplistic view.

Even after assuming free will exists, humans are born into an already cruel and chaotic world, where the evidence of a theistic god and heaven (such as a Christian god who intervenes in both life and after death, and not one that doesn't) is insufficient to the rational mind. So a supposed deity like this would create beings in this universe and expect them to accept an effectively fairy tale, and when they don't, even if they are not cruel and immoral (e.g: simply by being a Buddhist), it sends them to hell. That isn't loving, that is a tyranny.

What you're describing is a sadistic test designed for most human life on earth to fail, even if they're moral humans. To punish those who don't see this negligent, supposed omnipotent authority as good.

On top of everything, what that ignorant person (OP's grandma) is professing goes against any level of empathy and kindness that is shown by decent christians & people, she's the prime example of someone taking the supposed "good" side, but in reality being a rotten hateful person.

Although most Bible thumpers don't believe in it, that's where reincarnation comes in. Try again. Back to start. That starts getting a tad Buddhist though. I think that the truth is something beyond our grasp though and religion is just the best way we can interpret it while on Earth. So I don't put too much stock into going to Hell because of this or that. That's way too simplistic.

He doesn't. You just die forever if you reject him. It's your choice at the end of the day.

So either God is a gay communist that gives everyone what they want and gives them milk and cookies or he is not good?
Have you ever heard of "no pain no gain"? Suffering helps people develop. If your parents never allowed you to experience any degree of suffering you wouldn't have grown at all. You'd be stunted. Is that what a loving parent does to their child?

and when they don't, even if they are not cruel and immoral (e.g: simply by being a Buddhist), it sends them to hell. That isn't loving, that is a tyranny.

Who defines what is good and moral? Certainly not the creator of the universe, but an infinitely inferior creature! That makes sense!
Also that's how judgement works. If you are guilty you receive the punishment. Are judges tyrants?
Besides his grandma is objectively correct. On top of being a buddhist he is also a junkie. It was over before it even started for this guy.

 

[shadyreapers_]

A junkie? I wouldnt go as far as saying that
Complying with what the voices tell me should be the right term
I am currently doing a detox (no job,no money) the only drug ive been using is tobacco , and i only have enough until the beginning of august, i Will leave tobacco too on that month.

You clearly have the mind of someone who lacks perspective when you say shit like this. You're fortunate enough to not know what real pain is, by the way you're talking, and then expecting to put your faith in something that by all metrics seems to not exist, or have completely abandoned you.

The fact that you then go into the penultimate claim (thanks Neger) about mere mortals not knowing what good and morality is, and that their imaginary king does, just kills all discourse. No point really.

Their grandma is not objectively right, she's a retard that belongs in the middle ages.

 

[souschef]

She is right, Buddhists do go to hell

Which one? There's several

Also OP, if you're serious about buddhism quit doing drugs. You need a clear mind to live the eightfold noble path

 

[Sneaky lurker]

Ok? Doesn't make what I said untrue. How is pain or suffering evil? You say that just because you dislike those things.

and then expecting to put your faith in something that by all metrics seems to not exist

You say its not rational to believe in God (or at least a God that is not "all benevolent" by your standards), but you do realize that thousands of people smarter than you and I believed in God in the past and continue to in the present? Are you claiming to be more rational than people like, say, Isaac Newton?

The fact that you then go into the penultimate claim (thanks Neger) about mere mortals not knowing what good and morality is

Claims about good and evil, morality, need to be grounded in something greater than subjective human opinions, otherwise they are just that.

 

[We Are The Witches]

It is pain and suffering inflicted on you, by the inaction of an omnipotent entity capable of giving you a chance at "salvation" in the right conditions (which most of the time is not the case).

This rhetorical question is one step away from devolving into an appeal to authority/ad verecundiam.

That is just closing discussion (lazily I will add) by mentioning knowledgeable people on their fields, which anyone can do, and so there is no response to that, because it leads the path to an obvious fallacy.

I think I'm done here with this topic, but if you have to base your morality on a set of rules or ideas that would punish someone, like what OP's grandma would say, and claim that to be the correct and righteous way, then I think that you are deluded, and there is truly no point in such discussion. And also by no means you are a "good" person, nor the place which you take your "objectivity" from is righteous.
