if u dont believe in God i feel bad for you. not like a judgement like “oh youre going to hell” or “you dont get it because youre dumb” whatever… but if you don’t know God, what is in your heart instead? do you even have the first idea? comme ci comme ca.

Common sense, kindness, love, watching the world to be a better place, helping your fellow man, etc. Some non-believers are better Christians than Christians.

As a Christian, many people do not need the threat of eternal damnation to be nice. In fact, if you only display kindness and compassion to avoid hell. You’ve completely missed the point.

You can have morals and life goals without following a religion or believing a higher power is making you have those things

My heart is filled by all kinds of friends, family, a loving partner, my cats, my hobbies, being kind to strangers, and so on. I was raised catholic but I just couldn’t get myself to fully believe in it, and it sort of made me hateful through homophobic beliefs. I couldn’t separate the two so I went the atheist route and developed my own morals

you can still have love and empathy and kindness in your heart and not believe in anything

Love, empathy, and a strong moral compass. I believe in doing good because it is simply the right thing to do. I volunteer because others need my help. I’m kind because it brings others joy. I do my best to make the world a better place because I want it to be a better place.

I would rather live doing good because of my own choices as my personal duty. IMO you’re not a good person if you live by Christianity and do not sin just because God told you/the potential consequences instead of being a good person for the sake of being one. Be a good person, not because someone asked/told you to, but because you want to be.

before i knew God, my heart was empty, then it was a mess, then strangers filled it with evil. only the choice to know God could get my heart right. im convinced nothing else would have or ever could work right or keep it right.

for sure. these are all tenets of good living in any respect. God is not a religion though. believing in God is understanding the act of faith and appreciating it for what it is. faith and belief can be separate from religion, as religion represents the community aspects of belief.

I do not believe in any form of God. I rejected my religion at age 13 and have been living faith free for almost 20 years.

The non-religious tend to be the most accepting too. ❤️

The only thing that threat did for me was fill me with intense anxiety that I will probably never get rid of 🫩 it just kinda seemed through teachings at church that everyone is going to hell for committing small sins we’re not aware of, since all sins are equal

Catholic guilt is a real thing. I'm only saying catholic because that's how I grew up but there's literally a line in every service that's basically "I'm not worthy" like come on people
