      Apparently what happens is you are rich, well-liked, respected, powerful, have a big family, and you live to a pretty old age.

      Got to say your skydaddy is sending some mixed messages here.

      Remind me again: doesn’t the Book of Job make it clear that anyone who says “x happens because you were bad, y happens because you are good” (without direct prophecy) is worthy of death? Doesn’t Leviticus make it pretty clear that you are not to interpret signs and omens? Doesn’t Solomon teach that good and bad happen to people regardless of how they act? Isn’t the actions of Jesus proof that success doesn’t mean virtue and neither does misfortune?

      Try being an atheist, it is a lot easier. You get to just accept that if there is any justice in this world, it is the justice us humans make.

        Yeah but they don’t believe in Jesus so that last example doesn’t count.

        The Jew’s are called gods chosen people not because not because we are favored its because we are chosen for a task some Jew’s believe its to bring those left behind to the promised land aka heaven also Jesus isn’t apart of Judaism

          Probably not though. That’s kind of a stretch don’t you think? Probably each and everyone of us is just as special as the next guy, gal. Meaning, not special at all. We are just here. So to make the stay a little more bearable, our actions should try to make it easier for everyone to live happily ever after.

          Lmao, they’ve got an excuse prepped for when none of them are called during rapture.
