And what religion was he trying to convert you out of? Some people are insecure in how they feel, they have to convince others it's all fake so they can believe it's fake, because they doubt deep down if it's real and they'll really suffer for it

His argument was since I believe in Jesus I want him to suffer. I explained I expect no one who doesn't believe in Jesus to follow his values and I have atheist loved ones. That made him more upset?

I guess he felt like you were tokenizing atheist people. The point of Jesus dying for our sins was not that anyone should suffer. This whole "you have to accept him as your savior" is control bullshit. You have to embody him, his aspects, his kindness and love. He is in the wheat and the wine, right

So yeah, I think what I said does apply here. I think they said "Jesus died for you, so you have to believe what I tell you to" and he couldn't believe it, so he worries they were right, deep down, that he will go to hell because he couldn't believe it. Religious parents often fuck up their kids

So then he blames you for perpetuating a belief that people who cannot believe will go to hell, he views that as a kind of hatred, like belief was never in his power and the expectation wasn't fair, so anyone who could believe he would go to hell hates him. I mean he may be right that he can't do it
