Oh no, not the old 'it's simply a lack of belief' chestnut again. The Church of Atheism's (CoA) central dogma is 'You shall read all religious figurative texts in the most naive-literal way possible'; their Old Testament (Darwin, Marx, Russell) and New Testament prophets ...

No—but that's EXACTLY WHY re-familiarizing ourselves with the philosophy and true religious principles that built the cathedral is necessary and beneficial. @benshapiro

The real issue is that atheists don't understand the theological concept of 'hell', as they don't understand religion generally. Should religious people really have to accommodate their ignorance? Maybe give an 'offensive word' trigger warning? Ridiculous! #AtheistSnowflakes

A more-to-the-point inscription would have been:
"Not your best interpretation of a figurative text, but could you not at least have done better than the childish, #NaiveLiteral interpretations that ass hole Jim came up with? - God"

Of course nobody 'will believe the Bible on judgment day' THE CHILDISH, NAIVE-LITERAL WAY YOU READ IT. If you had taken ANY TIME to read the Bible and seriously researched it yourself, you would have immediately recognized that it is a figurative text.

Given that the world religions define 'God' as 'absolute/ultimate Reality/Truth' (as in #GodIsTheTruth), Woody Allen effectively accuses 'Reality/Truth' (which is simply the totality of all there is) of 'cruelty' or 'incompetence'. Makes no sense whatsoever! #AtheistConfusion

... because it makes a pretty big difference whether you 'just grow up' limited to the default 'relative' worldview, or whether you discover that there is ALSO such a thing as 'absolute Reality/Truth' (or 'God').

Nonsense. 'Heaven' is knowing/experiencing 'absolute freedom' that comes with the discovery of 'absolute Reality/Truth' (as distinct from our default 'relative' worldview), and is available to anyone who truly wants it—"you shall know the Truth & the Truth will set you free".
