Christians still have not refuted this.

Reason. I know you don't have it.

So basically the point of being separated from God is so we can reunite with God, got it.

I have to agree with this anon, some of the Christians I have met online and in real life are very serious and unironic in their fear mongering. I have been rather interested in this "fear of God" aspect of Christianity lately, especially how it can form the psychological pillar that supports the rest of their belief, since every time "doubt" enters the mind, the emotional fear of hell or eternal damnation overrules any calm, critical and rational thoughts that "risk" damnation.

It's essentially one of the mechanisms that keep Christians immune to reason and drives them to reject anything and everything but the word of God.

Naturally, not all Christians rely on fear as a primary motivator, at least not overtly or consciously, or the fear has matured from being instilled since childhood in to love for God for salvation from that fear of God. In this sense the fear is a good thing since it drives you towards salvation, hence why Christians keep bringing up the fires of hell.

They first sell the sickness(you are going to hell) and then the cure(faith in God).

Aware of it or not, we don't have a choice,
we always default to our innermost voice.

Even your faith can not escape this,
your inner voice tells you to choose heaven's bliss.

If you feed your voice fear, then fear it will speak,
but listening to fear only makes your soul weak.

My voice might be fallible but yours is as well.
We are both caught in its charm, we are under its spell.

Yet my voice has been trained to always self-doubt,
I challenge my assumptions because I assume I'm a lout.

I chisel all day at my paradigmatic flaws,
Just like I chiseled away at ol' Santa Claus.

I know the Bible's story, and many other too
and with enough faith they all can seem true.

Hope, happiness, love, fear, sorrow and guilt.
You can't hear a clear voice choking on emotional silt.

How do you know that the voice that you hear,
isn't just the devil being a master puppeteer?

The religion you follow could just be his device.
A wolf in God's robes promising a false paradise.

Whether heaven or hell exists I'll just have to wait and see,
but if I do go to hell at least I'll be in good company.

Well, if you insist.

>i can only challenge you to read the new testament
Don't fall for this trap. Read the Old Testament first. Shows you the true nature of their God before his Jesus makeover no appeal to a larger demographic.
