Without God - discard God

The topic of unbelief 

Skeptic Objection : 

God ruins your life, religion tries to control you, so if you just discard it all your life will be better. 

Christian response: 

It may seem like life is better without God but it is a lie of Satan. It is because sinful fallen man has no experience with God (that God created us perfect, but we were separated by Him thru Adam's sin). Theyve never had a personal relationship with God, and tho they may have been deceived by something "called" religion or Christianity (but it was not Christian nor of God, but deception).  

And because of "religion" and deception many are turned off by the things of God because they've never understood the truth of God, Jesus or the gospel and because they've never experienced the miracle of being born again ( the Holy Spirit transforming that person into a new creation; making that person now have a spiritual life that's connected to God, and created that restoration of a personal relationship that was severed at the Genesis Fall of mankind). So those who have not been converted by God, who have not been forgiven and do not have the righteousness of Jesus covering them... have no actual experience with God , and therefore cannot make such statements as you did, because you were never saved. 

I conclude that repentance involves believing God (Jonah 3:5) rather than the Satan's claim that more joy can be found in sin than in obedience. It is a "being persuaded" about the danger of impenitence (Luke 16:31) and the way of escape through repentance for the forgiveness of sins (Luke 24:47). It involves grief over past sins and present sinful tendencies. This is the significance of the sackcloth and ashes (Luke 10:13; Jonah 3:5). And it involves turning from evil ways (Jonah 3:8).

Final thought.

Please know that life here on Earth, the temporary life that one lives maybe might get to live 7 to 80 or 100 years here, is nothing compared to never ending Eternity.  

Living in sin is a temporary situation. It ends in Eternal Hell and punishment with eternal wrath of God being poured out on each sinner forever damned there. There is no good thing there except Divine Justice. 

However, those who simply repent of their sin, turn from Sin, trust God, trust in Jesus for their salvation... they live a life connected to God that while in this sin stained world of suffering and problems, we can confidently walk in this world with God in control, thru good and bad times, knowing God is with us, will never leave us, has provided in the Bible what we need to confidently live here, (packed with God showing us how he has kept Hos promises, given us promises, provides what we need to "rest in" for encouragement, truth, hope, joy, peace, love and good things for us to know, remember, walk in and trust Him for.) We live life with God, with Christ our Savior.  

It has been rightly said that Earth is the only Hell believers will experience, and the only Heaven unbelievers will experience. Both are very far from the truth of what Hell will be and what Heaven will be, but it is the only taste of it each will have. 

Far better to come to truth, come to Jesus and enjoy eternal blessings, than willfully continue on the path to destruction. God told us that while we were His enemies God showed His love for us by sending Jesus to die on the criss for us. Today,, while you are still given the grace of God to breathe... You can still search the Scriptures, God said Come let us reason together tho you are stained with Sin He wants to make you clean as snow. For God said He desires no one to perish but all mankind to come to repentance. He wants everyone to be saved. But you cant be unless you come to Him, sorrowful over your sins, with a humble and Contrite heart, wanting to be fixed and made new.
