Comment on How scrolling becomes a religious actparent

So you are a pagan knowingly worshipping false idols all day, except you turn it off temporarily while attending church?

Idk about them but I've never prayed to my phone. Pray to God everyday for my family and friends and the world. No matter what stock you put in legitimacy of prayer, certianly a phone isnt a device you'd expect to be able to answer prayers at all.

I use my computer not on the internet as my main device so I can't even scroll on there.

That's true of most Christians unfortunately. I've seen monks tell us that just because we go to church on Sunday doesn't make us practicing Christians. Most are living atheistic lifestyles and remember God only Sunday morning. Better than nothing I suppose..

is it? if I'm going to Hell anyway I might as well sleep in on Sundays

If you truly believed you were going to hell I think you'd have the opposite reaction

not if I'm literally damned if I do, and damned if I don't! might as well enjoy what I can while it lasts, in that case.

if I thought going to church would keep me out of Hell I'd have the opposite reaction, but the GP was talking about how most people who go to church are still going to Hell
