Do you care if I go to Hell or not???\n\nIf you don't try and convert me, isn't that evil to you?\n\nIf you don't try then you want me to go to hell, therefore you are without a doubt a sick and twisted individual.

Yes I care about everyone. But don't worry you will not go to the hell that the churches teach! That place does not exist! I know that you are agnostic, but to find out what the bible really teaches, visit www.watchtower.org. And no one will visit you unless you request it.

I have trouble trying to tell people on Answers! my beliefs, even after they ask about them.\n\nMost often it is Christians. They ask a question, then I answer it honestly and they either report me to Yahoo, or they send me email, saying that I'm going to Hell and I don't belong in their world.\n\nI never say anything specificlly to offend people, I, along with most others on Answers just answer truthfully.\n\nI don't think my statements are taken out of context, however, I just think that they don't like to hear the Truth!!

Either way it doesn't matter you ll never change my mind so give it up! You people always complain about Christians trying to force their beliefs on you but your doing the same thing. Hypocrite!

I consider myself Christian, born and raised. My family has never been strict about it though. I don't believe that non-believers will go to hell. I do however believe that if you KILL, rape, or lead a life without morals, that you will suffer in your own hell that you caused others.

"If there’s no absolute standard for “good”, then who’s to say what’s good and what’s bad?"\nIf you need guidance from an imaginary friend to prevent you from becoming a serial rapist, then do us all a favor and keep going to church.\n\nMorals are relative. They are dictated by society. They stem from the human need to continue the species and avoid as much unnecessary harm as possible. We didn't need Christianity or your hypocritical God to tell us that stealing, killing, and rape is wrong. A very simple question of "would I want that done to me" is all that is necessary to determine if the action is "moral" or not.\n\n"Sure, “good” might exist in a temporary sense, such as this society or civilization, or even the propagation of this species. While I’m alive."\nYou answered your own question, but you keep going.\n\n"But after I’m dead, if there’s no judgement or next life, what do I care what happens here when I'm gone?"\nWhy do you feel the need to be judged? Has Christianity really seeped that far into your thought processes? \n\n"Logically, it seems foolish for me to care."\nBut you asked the question.\n\n"And if there’s no harm to me and my life gets better, then why should I feel bad?"\nYou shouldn't. Are you considering the questions you're asking? Truly considering them? Or are you just asking them for the sake of argument? You would feel bad if you are harming others... that is, unless, you see nothing wrong with harming others.\n\n"After all, I only have one life, and who’s to say that I shouldn’t make the most of it for myself? I can choose to not feel bad because it wouldn’t make sense for me to feel bad."\nThat's the beauty of it! MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR LIFE. Decide what is ethical and what is moral by doing what makes YOU feel good while doing what makes OTHERS feel good... because when you make others feel good or you prevent or reduce unnecessary harm, I can guarantee you that you will feel good. You don't need a god or religion to tell you that.

These idiots responding here (like Jack and JesusFreak) are already assuming that you're an immoral and "lesser" person.  They don't even know you.  \n\nThis is a prime example of why religion is a scourge on humanity, and is the greatest threat to our survival that currently exists.\n\nThis makes me absolutely sick.  I'd better take the day off today.  I can't handle much more of this.

WOW,  See what I mean..  Who are these people to say who is going to hell???  Ghandi is going to hell?? Is that what you are saying?? Ghandi...the man that practiced peace and tolorance and non violence?  Ghandi, the man that said "Be the change you want to see in the world?"  You people are truley sick.  How DARE you.  There are people in this world that have never heard the name Jesus... They have never been exposed to our customs or religions and you think they will go to hell as well?  I dont want a god that would do something like that.  What shallow, brain washed nonsense.

I wanted to start by saying that I am a Christian.\n\nPeople who are non-Christians are not going to feel better after reading your post. This post comes across as the same pushiness that people don't like anyway. I understand that you believe very strongly, as do I, but please find a new way to share the love of God. This just seems pushy and it almost sounds like you think you are better than the "poor unsaved people."\n\nGod bless you though for trying!

I am a very spiritual person.  I do not follow an organized religion because I don't think that a preacher or a priest or rabbi or somesuch, has a right to tell me that I'm going to burn in hell, because of something I choose to do in my life.  I'm the one that has to own up to it, not them.

Ok- being truthful... I have never been that bold to blatantly say "hope you like Hell" or some other form of it.  Have I thought it?  amybe, if the atheist was being really beligerant in his/her discussion of my beliefs vs. theirs.  \n\nBut typically, the person doesn't want an arguement, they don't want some platitudes, and they definitely DO NOT want a condescending, holier-than thou, poor you who don't understand kind of attitude.  They want truth, they want honesty.  \n\nSo I don't think I have ever been that rude to enother person.  I just wish that people who don't believe would also be tolerant of those of us who DO. We're not stupid, or rednecks, or just too ignoratn to be "enlightened".  We're people.  I think I might post this question from the other side, would you answer it?  \n\nThanks for forcing me to be honest- I really had to think and make sure.  I like your question.

No, because you made me laugh.  Someone with your sense of humour will not go to hell.

Dear Rose, I am sure you mean well, but here, no amount of preaching or "screaming" will change anything. This site has fallen into the realm of IM, but more clumsy. The religious bunch preach here all day to whom??? The gay bunch (myself included) puts up with one silly basher who passes itself off as many, and we all put up with the sermons from the religious bunch who tell us daily that we are going to hell. Where they get that idea, I don't have a clue. \ngood luck.

Kewtasabutton, \nGod Bless you for asking this. So many people are afraid to and then when they do, there are more people afraid to answer.\n\nGod loves you and me just as we are, you remember that. Now that does NOT excuse your sin or mine. But it helps you to understand how much He loves you. \n\nI have been a Christian since 1993. Have I been perfect? NOT ONE SINGLE DAY. I do try not to sin, and I always ask forgiveness for my sins. All sin is the same in God's eyes whether you kill or tell a lie. Sin is judged completely different in man's eye. You can tell a lie and not go to jail, but if you kill you will. \n\nGod says that all men are short of the glory of God. All means all. It means you, me, any preacher, pastor, and the Catholic Pope (I want go into my opinions of that). \n\nThe things that you are struggling with are no match for God. He can conquer all of your sins. The devil is getting you to do all of these things and then running back to God and tattling on you, trying to convince Him that you don't deserve to go to Heaven. But God has already stated that fact about all of us. Sweetheart, as long as you accepted Jesus into your heart, and you are truly asking forgiveness, you will overcome all of these faults. Satan is attacking your morality and your sexuality. He may win several times, but God will let you use this as a testimony one day. \n\nDon't go out and sin all you can, now. You still must do your very best to resist so that God can help you. \n\nGod doesn't expect you to change all at once, He just expects you to have the desire to. And, based on what you are saying, the desire is there, and it WILL happen. It may take a while.\n\nYou are absolutely precious!

I don't think I'd use Hell at all.  As far as people being reborn, I'd leave it up to them.  When they died, they'd come to me and I'd say "Wanna try again?" and then depending on their answer, they'd go on or come back.  I'm not quite sure what they'd go on to, but burning people forever doesn't sound like something I'd enjoy.

In the interest of fairness, I looked at the person's comments as well as your response. Just wanted to correct one tiny little detail... The second comment didn't say that your writings would condemn you to hell, but that you would answer for them, and that you would be condemned if you did not accept Jesus... exaxt quote was...\n\n"God will hold you accountable for every word you speak and write, and ultimately what will condem you to hell is if you do not accept the payment done on your behalf by God himself"\n\nNevertheless, this is a small detail, and one that scarcely matters in light of the judgement and condemnation in this person's arrogant and holier-than-thou comments. \n\nI personally think that the worst thing said in these two comments was "You are useless to mankind..." \n\nHow utterly and fundamentally mean-spirited. \n\nAs a Christian, I apologize for this behavior. If the person wanted to witness to you, he/she should have left a comment saying, "I'm a Christian, and I'd like to talk to you about Christ and hear what you think about it." They shoould have left their name and let you contact them if you wanted to. \n\nI hope that you choose not to let this person (or people - could have been 2 different people) color your opinions of Christians as a whole.
