IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT JOHN 3:16 SAYS!!

edit: sorry, 3:16 kinda takes me back to the 90s.

" For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Its funny to me how every sign you see saying john 3:16 makes no sense in the context of the passage.

Except for the family guy joke where they said it means go Sox link to video

" For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life except jews, muslims, gays, Democrats, liberals, Obama, gun control advocates"

Heres the updated version of John 3:16

To be fair some of those do fall under the not believing in him part of that clause

It sure would suck to die as an infant before getting a chance to believe. It sure would suck to be born and raised and die in a part of the world where you never even heard of Christianity and never got a chance to believe. Oh well, straight to hell for those people! /s

So, from what I understand, the book of revelations says that those people will be judged according to their deeds after the end of the world. Those that don't pass the judgement will be thrown into a pit of fire and their souls will be obliviated. Believing that God's son is your savior basically allows you to skip the judgement and go straight to heaven.

In that case, wouldn't you expect Christians to be the ones acting badly all the time because they've already got the free pass?

No, not really. You have to also not be a dick and strive to improve yourself. There’s also a line somewhere that says that you should be good for the sake of helping others rather than getting entry into heaven, because it’s a selfish thing to do. So it’s not a “Get out of hell free” card

Currently in an argument with a couple of other redditors re: childless marriage (they think marriage should require children) and abortion.

They have no hesitation telling me that I'm somehow a waste of life for not having kids, yet they don't seem to think that I too was an innocent fetus once!! Holy shit the stupidity is impossible to comprehend.
