We assume that everybody wants to be with God.
Some don’t…
The problem is that ALL good things come from God.
So they are removing themselves from EVERYTHING good.
That is hell…

I heard a podcast months ago where Timothy Alberino made the case that if you believe the Bible you believe in extra-terrestrials by default because "angels," which are all over Scripture, are ETs (starting at the 45 minute mark):

I guess thats right given the definition of extra-terrestrials.
and a very high fee to have the privilege of being there! Cheers!
“Nothing in life is truly linear, everything has fluctuations.”
That was a reply I gave to a post by nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 today.
I wanted to expand on that thought tonight.
People often tend to think in linear terms when confronted with negative news. They assume that when one bad thing happens, it will set into motion a chain of more negative experiences, ultimately leading to a tragic end.
However, reality often defies such linear thinking. Life is not a straightforward progression from one event to another; it operates in cycles, with ebbs and flows. A single negative experience can unexpectedly lead to a positive one, or vice versa.
For instance, landing the perfect job might not necessarily lead to a dream career; it could result in a life of corporate captivity. Conversely, a forest fire, a destructive event on the surface, can pave the way for the regrowth of beautiful flowers.
In nature, we see the principle of death giving rise to life, and then the opposite occurring in cycles.
The linear thinking approach oversimplifies the complexities of life. There are too many variables at play to predict a perfect decline or ascension. Linear thinking serves as our attempt to control our earthly situations, but it is ultimately a flawed and futile endeavor.
In essence, it is folly.

Who's definition of evil do they go by? Nobody asks that question.
Apple? What company is that? They look like they promote freedom of thought... Hmmm...
What if the conditions that sustain life are so finely tuned that Earth is the only place that life can exist?

Good Sunday morning, nostr!
Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. (verses 4–5)

Lewis is making the observation that most people that have become Christians in their adult years and not as children were persuaded by arguments that affirmed the existence of God (or theism).
This means that as adults we sometimes require more substantial proof in order to believe in God. As children we can become Christians through upbringing (like myself), songs, or experience, etc. However, if a nonbeliever comes to Christian faith as an adult it may be through logical or philosophical arguments for the existence of God, something that a child would not care about.
Lewis' writings were all about providing "adult" arguments for the existence of God, as in his book "Mere Christianity."
Did that help you understand better?
C.S. LEWIS QUOTE

“Nearly everyone I know who has embraced Christianity in adult life has been influenced by what seemed to him to be at least a probable argument for theism.”

JORDAN PETERSON’S UNDERSTANDING OFJESUS CHRIST
_______________
“What you have in the figure of Christ is an actual person who actually lived, plus a myth, and, in some sense, Christ is the union of those two things. The problem is I probably believe that, but I’m amazed at my own belief and I don’t understand it.”
“It’s too terrifying a reality to fully believe. I don’t even know what would happen to you if you fully believed it.”
~Jordan Peterson in an interview with Jonathan Pageau
