I'll only respond to your first part since solving the problem of hell differs from person to person.

>don't say stuff like "the circumcision of the heart" (lol!).

This is not a term I made, it's biblical. And as my post says I'm aware the entire gospel is foolish to unbelievers, and the Bible and God is aware of that. That's the basic hurdle of accepting the gospel.

"But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men."

1 Corinthians 23-25

"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;"

1 Corinthians 27

"At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children."

Matthew 11:25




Admitting your stance is lunacy isn't a defense. You should instead ponder why you believe absurdities.

"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities" - Voltaire (ish). This is the most important quote about how to live in the world. It explains Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, but also the mass rape done by the Catholic Church, 9/11, the current climate change crisis, and on and on. It's the Grand Unified Theory of atrocities.


if (the_world_is_evil && the_world_hates_the_word_of_god && the_world_hated_jesus_enough_to_kill_him_despite_him_doing_nothing_wrong ){

console.log("maybe it's something you should look into");

}

So if you care so much about evil you should ask yourself, who was the only person to walk the Earth who had no evil. That would be Jesus. And what did Jesus say? He said he was God, and quoted the old testament that correctly spoke of his coming.

Shouldn't you look into it?


Being the literally biggest religious movement of the world and then at the same time saying the world hates the word of god is silly. You are the majority. If you include Islam, you are the VAST majority.

> who was the only person to walk the Earth who had no evil. That would be Jesus.

Of course it wasn't. I've read the bible. I remember "pearl before swines". That was evil.

> He said he was God

He didn't though. "You said that" is what he said. He was very clear. You are now lying about what the bible says. As is common among christians sadly.


There's no lack of people to walk the earth who have no evil though. You have to contrive good people to be evil to make that the case.
