I do not know if these are sincere questions but I will briefly respond to them.
1. The concept of God as the Master Designer, Creator of all things, includes human beings. In the book of Genesis, it says that God breathed into man and be became a living soul. Man is created for His Glory. Since He is the Creator (Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient), He gets to call the rules (He is Sovereign). You can find His rules and the truth in the Bible (If you don't believe in the concept of the Creator, then only God can help you; if you don't believe and have faith that the Bible is God's Word to us, then only God can help you). One of them is that every man has sinned and come short of God's glory (Romans 3). God's remedy for man's sinfulness and rebellion is Jesus Christ and his atoning death on the cross for the sins of the world (that includes you). But God's requirement for eternal life is for you to repent of your sins, to believe all the Bible says about Jesus Christ and to confess Him Lord of your life. Submit to His Lordship and follow Him. (John 3:16, Roman 10, Eph 2:8-10). Those who reject Jesus Christ have God's wrath on them right now (John 3:36). Your soul will live forever; it is God's - you can either submit to Jesus Christ's Lordship and follow him in obedience and inherit eternal life or continue your godless, rebellious path (along with your guru Steve P.) and receive God's wrath in the eternal lake of fire. “God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble”
2. Hell (Gehena, Lake of Fire, Eternal Torment, etc.) - Whatever this place is, it is for those (Satan, the fallen angels, and those who reject Jesus Christ) to spend eternity. As your soul continues in hell throughout eternity, you will be in torment (read Luke 16). The purpose of Hell is to Glorify God - God is Holy and the horrors of Hell reveal His Holiness. Salvation is being saved from God Himself - His Wrath upon sinning humans and those who reject His gift of Salvation which is Jesus Christ. After a billion years in hell and as it continues throughout eternity, as compared to your 100 years of life that you spent on planet earth, these "few" years will eventually approach zero, and your torment will have just begun. You will be able to contemplate the foolishness of believing in God as espoused by the religious teachings of Steve P. – the “omniscient” leader of the “smart people.”
Steve confuses his experiences (Catholicism) and the foolishness of modern religions and now rejects God (Creator) Himself. The Bible also condemns these as well (along with what most of us know as modern day “Christianity”). But there is a Creator and Jesus Christ is the Savior and the Bible calls all men to repent and turn to Christ. “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” (I Cor 1:18).
I wouldn’t be surprise of this is censored and does not get posted since it goes against the religious teachings of the “smart people.” I do not come out here very often at all, but I am surprised on the anti-God blogs and postings.
