Recently, I saw the above comment on a YouTube video. I have read similar comments countless times over the years; that I am leading people astray with my writing and videos and God is going to punish me in the afterlife for leading people, in Pied Piper-like fashion, to Hell.
According to this commenter, I need to understand that If I speak against the Bible and Jesus, I will not only lose my soul, I will also be eternally punished for leading people astray. This is yet another example of God meting out infinite punishment for finite behaviors. All I have ever done is tell my story and critique Evangelical Christianity. With all the things are going on in the world, you would think God would find better things to do than judge and punish people for things they say.
Not that I am worried. God is a myth, so I have no fear of being punished for my words and opinions. If you think otherwise, please share your evidence for the existence of God in the comment section.

Or, the Pied Piper leading people to reason? 🤔
You’re gonna find out soon enough buddy. The “myth” you will wish you had never been conceived.
This is probably Revival “I Lie for Jesus” Fires.
He uses a different name and fake email address every time he comments. He does, however, have a writing style I can spot at 30,000 feet, with no visibility.🤣🤣
