He wants you to be better than who you are. The choice is yours.

But why does it matter. If God's will is truly love, if I exist to love then am I not fullfilling his will even if I do not worship him? 

Thank you friend, it's been a hard road.

>'Oh, you have free will BUT if you act in a way I don't like I'm going to torture you forever... But I love you' 
I'm not saying bad people are fine, but if someone is a good person but doesn't worship god, what's the difference?

>'You can beat your wife and children, murder, rape, kill, etc, but if you are baptized and confess your sins you will be saved over the man who lives his life to do good and doesnt see the need to worship someone else to do good'
okay. Why the fuck would christ judge me for something as arbitrary as being baptized if I lived a life in accordance with his supposed message: love and compassion.

aye, organized religion, in my opinion, has been heavily warped to control people. If one finds solace or power in it, im glad for them, but it isnt for me. It just seems to breed hate and contempt for anyone who is not a follower of 'the true way'. Even if the bible is the word of god, was it not written by a man, who by christian thought, is imperfect, a sinner. Has it not been translated by man? In which case, how can we say it is the word of god, when it has only been given to us by hundreds before us who, per christian philosophy, are all imperfect sinners. 
yeah, he rippened through the tarp

sure, but even if i failed, why would a god whose who religion is based on the concept of forgiveness send me to a place to suffer for all eternity. He, the one who does that, loves me? No.

God doesn't torture people, Satan does. This is avoidable. Repent anon.

holy shit... you were there too?
And God, an all powerful being, has the power to decide whether or not Satan tortures people. Either God isn't all powerful and omnipotenr or he chooses to let that happen. So which is it?

I didn't know my friends (or anyone I know) existed 
before I met them, just because I didn't know they existed doesn't mean they aren't my friends now. That's pretty shit logic

English man, please, my brain isnt that big

Well, yes, but that isn't what I'm asking. Christianity doesn't say 'If you don't love you go to hell' it says 'If you don't accept Jesus Christ as your savior and believe in God you will go to hell' which is a bit different. What I'm asking is how is worship relevant to your soul burning in hellfire lol. If someone is a good individual, why should they go to hell for not believing in god?

The Bible doesn't state this. The churches say this.

>“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
Yes, it does in fact. I mean the concept of 'hell' being real/mentioned in the bible is certainly questionable (unless I'm misinformed on that), but it is pretty clearly stated, in fact, it's the entire centerpiece of the religion, that nothing except faith in Christ and God will bring you to heaven. So again, how does that make any fucking sense unless God is evil? You can solve world hunger but not get to heaven because you don't believe in him?
