      Lmao this guy thinks he can dictate where the “final chance” is for other peoples’ redemption

      The fact that this guy hasn’t been slam dunked straight into hell yet is proof nothing resembling his god exists

        protestant christianity doesn’t give a shit about how you lived as long as you say the magic words just before you die so this is an even funnier threat

          That’s Catholicism with its sacrament of confession (penance and reconciliation). Also there is the Anointing of the sick for those who are about to die, sometimes it can substitute the other sacrament if the person is unable to perform it.

          Protestants believe in predestinaton, is up to God if you go to heaven or not. You could behave as a “good christian” all your life and still not be saved.

          There are different traditions inside Protestantism, like Calvinism and its double predestination. Or Lutherans, Methodists, etc. All with similar variations of the same concept.

          I don’t know where amerikkkan televangelism fits here. My personal guess is straight to hell.

            Mmm I think it’s a little more granular than that. Baptists believe anyone who has faith in Christ and seeks his forgiveness will go to heaven.

            Catholicism, compared to protestantism, does have as doctrine that what you do affects your redemption, whereas protestants have a personal and direct connection to Jesus. So I think the other poster was correct, in a way, although I think this doesn’t contradict what you are saying either. Mainstream catholics kind of believe that you can’t know who god chooses to go to heaven or why, so based on the doctrines of mercy, forgiveness, and grace, then probably everybody goes to heaven. This contradicts Opus Dei weirdos and tradcaths, who adhere to pre Vatican ii doctrine.

      I love how these guys will always talk about how they will make god punish people for disagreeing with them. Pretty sure nothing got the big guy upstairs madder in the bible than when people started ordering him around and making demands of him.

      Jokes on him. Wasn’t a slur. Jesus was referring to the dog people who were then genocided by the christians. St Christopher’s original appearance was literally a dog person before the dog people were whitewashed from history.

      I think China has the right idea making missionary activity is illegal, but they didn’t go far enough. We must make converting to Christianity illegal itself. At least if you’re an edgy white dude and likely former reddit atheist.
