Death and eternal life

Today is Easter Sunday, The day christians celebraite the sacrifice of their god to appease his own bloodlust. To use the too often quoted John 3:16, God sent his only son so people may have eternal life. Eternal life is easy to define. You simply live for the rest of eternity. But what is meant by death in regards to the alternative to eternal life? You would think it was simply ceasing to exist. Nothing left of you. Just cold, dark void for the rest of time and beyond. Seems reasonable I suppose. Some argue living for eternity could get boring. So the end of it is preferable. Yet the most likely, is the one that isn't an option for the death worshipers. They define this fate as death, but in my opinion it isn't death at all. I'm talking about Hell. Jesus didn't die and come back so we could avoid non existance, he died so we could get past daddy before he locks us in his basement to do things that even Josef Fritzil would shudder at. It's not enough for us to be removed from existance, their loving god has to torture people with fire and pain. Infinite being with infinite sadism. Yet to avoid this, you simply need to beleive in the ressurection. Regardless of "sin" you can walk scott free and they call this justice.

Well, luckily I live in the real world. When I enter into oblivion, I'll be happy to know that such a cruel system isn't in place.
