The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

True or False?

If we want to avoid Hell we should find the religion with the worst hell and convert to it.

As for myself if hell is real i would choose Islam...

When you're kids act up will you send them to the gas chamber? No? Then you are better than G-d.

If you could have 'e stopped 9-11 would you have done so? Yes? Then you are better than G-d.

In debating(or watching

In debating(or watching one) other christians about hell, I end up with one of two reactions. People are either relieved to be rid of the barbarism and can embrace their beliefs more fully, or they're revolted. The most typical response I get from a christian who's just lost hell is "But if there's no hell, there's no reason to believe/follow god!"

Islamic hell's the worst I know. Being dragged up and reskinned so you can feel the fire better before being tossed back in...wow.

As for the us better than god argument, the examples hinge on personal desire, worldview, and notion of reality. Most gods offer some sort of post-death incentive, for instance.

Notion of reality? I wonder why it's called a delusion[/sarcasm]

Yet they offer no location or definitive version. There are more glittering generalities associated with heaven and hell than Enron used to describe their profit fudging.

Thats because heaven and hell are concoctions by people trying to sway other people into doing what they wanted. Religions are very useful for that, especially with the right mix of ignorance and fear.

My god set the definitive location as earth.
