God can really get to your head too, in a bad shape.

They begin blaming hell for their own failures and mistakes. Either that, or they start questioning God.

If you doubt God and the bible, in any way, then stay the fuck away.

i'm always interested in why people do what they do.

no matter how much people want to resist the notion... everything we do is about fulfilling selfish needs for a variety of reasons... from committing mass murder to giving a homeless guy 10.00... whether is about personal atonement for righting what you believe are wrongs you commit to being physical abused or raped or whatever, the root motivations are selfish in nature. belief systems are no different. they stem from an individuals necessity to arrest some form of emotional problem(s) or satisfy some need. we all rationalize almost everything we do as being "right" or "healthy". religion is interesting. its something that's so absurd to me (as someone who attended a private christian school)... but just like any persons system of beliefs from republican to democrat, islam to christianity or vegan to meat eater... rational discussion and reason play no role whatsoever... anymore than reason plays a role when a heroin addict shoots up.
