A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

The fiery pit/dante's hell version doesn't actually exist in the bible. The main thing about hell is you don't experience god's love/presence, which is weird but a lot better than an eternity of torture.
If you experience god's presence please consult with your psychiatrist, I'm not joking lol
People who think God has talked to them are just people who really sure about a thought they had
That's wild. Have you tried DMT?
I'm just referring to what's in the bible, I'm agnostic. (Incidentally, I only became agnostic after reading the book of job)
What about the post right above you?
into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.God's love seems a little temperamental and reserved for some nasty people. I think I'm good on God's love.
Oh he is, but that post above is Mathew talking.
The example Id use is the book of Job. Basically Satan and God conspire to make a faithful guy's life horrible.
So why have churches been threatening their victims with hell for centuries? Could it be they all make it up as they go along?
The rest of the stuff you said isn’t in the Bible either
