This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If God only accepts certain people, then why did He die for everybody?

The belief in a hell or in a Limbo kind of prove that paradise is not for everyone. Depends which dogmas you grew up with, at this point.
About God being sacrificed to himself, it was mainly a way to stop an old tradition of sacrificing goats every year in order to atone for sins. Now people can just say that the Christ already died for that, so they don't have to act like barbarians and kill poor animals. Which is great, to be fair.

The offer is for everyone, people choose whether or not to take Him up on it

"I sell luxury housing for everyone, it's not my fault if some people are poor!"

My brother in christ, YOU made poor people.

I recall something in his favourite part of the Bible about rich men, camels, eye of a needle and heaven

Anyone surviving in a major western nation and not living on the streets in a place with no welfare is well rich in terms of camels and needle eyes

Difference is luxury houses cost money, Jesus does not
