I convert to Christianity on Friday.
Not on Sunday?
it's not a good day to worship Jesus
If you are sick/unhealthy isn't that the optimal time to worship Jesus? Healing sick people was kind of his thing.
You are a Christian now and no longer judged by your poop, but you will be avoided just the same till you get it fixed.
That is what Samson thought.
I think it’s safe to say that Samson is a folk tale, not history.
A theology professor once quipped, “ Everything in the Bible is true, and some of it really happened.”
Samson, identified as one the judges of Israel before the monarchy, bears a resemblance to other Near Eastern folk heroes in Sumerian and Greek theology. It is possible to derive meaning from the Samson story without insisting that he is an historical figure; if your applecart of faith is going to come tumbling down if you learn that Samson is a folkloric figure, you have big problems.
That realization made me realize that is god all loving? No; but he's more loving than the left.
'God sucks, but people (I dont like) suck more, therefore the Christian God exists!'
I remained unconvinced.

Do you think that Mary sucked.

Such is a eupemism

For autogamism. (Yeah whatever)

Yes Yes Yes
Jesus Christ...Good God almighty.
I've wet my nighty.
You all right babe?
Sure Joe.
I stubbed my toe.
Then I realized how many liberals who thought that would want to burn others in hell forever for things like misgendering, any comment they deem as misogynistic, etc (and they still want worship). You see how many trans people and women want men to worship them (trans men want normal men to admire them (aka worship))?
Jesus wants you to submit to him out of love, not out of hatred. If this is your entire reason for becoming a Christian, you're not likely to stick with it for very long.
Then I'm confused by what you mean by "I've converted to Christianity." You don't worship Jesus?
I don’t love god; I just view him as better than most people.
I mean, presumably you care about other people enough to not like the idea of Hell. And to be honest, I'd probably be more disturbed if you were excited by the idea of Hell. I don't think people are "good," strictly speaking, but hating them doesn't punish them, it punishes you.

I love my dog, and he's definitely better than most people.
No one knows that because there is no book about your dog.

If God can enjoy hell, why can't person A?
Because given the context of the rest of your posts and the fact that you are converting because you dislike people, I suspect you would not be excited for virtuous reasons.
Me not wanting others to burn in hell forever is me being nice.
Well, it's good that you're nice. Step in the right direction.
Statistically 95% is a majority, which would perhaps suggest that the majority is right and you are wrong.
He is also ethically different.
So even in a crowd you are left behind.

Remy doesn't follow much at all.
Blissfully clueless.
Well, people react relative to internal programmes and "emotion" is one word we use to describe such processes...If you didn't act on emotions you would be inert, perhaps unconscious or dead even...You might like to think that you are different or less reactive to stimuli but you are the same as everyone else, notwithstanding that content will vary from person to person relative to programming and circumstances.
