Why are people so quick to condemn someone to hell? And not even turn a blind eye about it?

So-called "Christians" do not understand the truth about God's will and purposes. Something as fundamental as the nature of "hell" remains a mystery to them...\n\n"Hell" is simply the common grave of mankind, so EVERYONE who dies goes there to await resurrection on the last day.\n\n(Acts 24:15) there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous\n\n(John 11:24) Martha said to him [Jesus]: “I know he [my brother] will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” \n\n\nHell is NOT someplace/something we need to fear; there is no suffering in the grave.\n\n(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all\n\n(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]\n\n(Ezekiel 18:4) The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.\n\nThe bible says that Hades ("hell") will be done away with:\n(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire\n\n\nFaithful, patient Job requested that he go to "hell":\n(Job 14:13) O that in She´ol you would conceal me\n\nEven Jesus was in "hell" for three days:\n(Acts 2:27) you will not leave my soul in Hades ["hell"]

Yes it is cruel.  "Hell" is nothing more than a "scare tactic" used by religious groups for thousands of years to keep people under control.  The christians believe that even if you spend your whole life helping people and avoid all sins; you will still BURN in HELL if you don't "accept" jesus christ as your lord and saviour.

When you say someone is sinning or not following your gods way , are you not judging them ? And if so are you not (by your own religious laws) then condemned ? \nIf no one is being harm let them be and treat them as you wish yourself treated... that's your right as a human being regardless of whatever religion you subscribe to.

Your asking them about their relegion..what really makes them mad is when they say they dont believe in god and then you tell them they are going to hell...since they dont believe in god there is no hell to them

This is very simple,.. People are totally ignorant and self serving unless they find themselves in a situation where they need help,  How many people go through life as a "non-believer" only to find themselves on eath's door, begging for salvation so that they can rest peacefuly. I spent numerous years in Emergency Service, and used to experience this type of personality quite often. My $.02 for what it's worth

Oh, I hear you on this one.  Of all the people on this earth, Christians are the most judgemental of all.  And, I was raised in the Christian church and it was always said that we should never judge, that only God can judge.  A person's sins are between them and God.  But, so many Christians forget this in their daily life.  It was also taught to me that all sins are equal, that is murder is just as bad as, say, swearing.  So, you are also right to question why homosexuality is so very bad in their eyes.  The hypocrisy is why I have fallen away, I just couldn't deal with it anymore.  I still believe in a God of sorts, but I will not subscribe to any organized religion.  It makes people crazy.

For some people, it's sheer ignorance.  That ignorance, for the most part; is willful.  They choose not to learn from others, rather they wish to stick to their "I know what you believe and you don't" attitude.  If I want to know about a Christian concept, I'll ask a Christian. If they show me that I'm wrong in what I originally thought, I'll glady accept that.  I won't continue to argue the point once a follower of any particular faith has offered me knowlege on the sujbect.  I see a great deal of that here. It's like logical reasoning jumps right out the window as soon as a concept which is different is brought up.  They simply don't want to learn, plain and simple.\n\nOther people are just so hateful that they get great joy out of being smug and holier than thou.  It's almost like they think they are God on Earth or the only chosen person of God.  If they aren't playing a constant game of "My god can beat up your God", they aren't happy.  \n\nFinally, some people like to set themselves up as martyrs. They love to enter discussions which have nothing to do with their faith, spout a bunch of scripture, throw around some brimstone and then complain about how unfair other people are when they're told to mind their own business. They also really enjoy complaining when people enter their conversations doing the same thing.  \n\nI generally don't become angry or beligerant unless I'm having someone else's beliefs shoved on me 8 ways to Sunday.  Trying to discuss anything here without being told to find Jesus is impossible.  I mean it, try to get advice on mundane things like diet or health issues and you're told the same thing.  Honestly, It's very annoying.  I know, I know if I don't like it I can leave.  Just airing my view on the subject.

Because they are depraved sociopaths at heart, who think they themselves would go on a murderous rampage if not for the fear of hell and desire for heaven.\n\nHow else can you explain such a perspective?

Since there is no god and no hell...no.\nThose people's special "hell" is living a life of bigotry and fear, with all of the ignorance that goes along with it.  They are so homophobic because they fear that they themselves might be gay if given the chance, so they attack what they fear.  A life full of fear and anger is not a life well-lived...that's their punishment.

Hee Hee Hee! I do believe a lot of them are!....either drunk, high, mentally distubed, and /or possesed by the devil!.....The horrible things that many of the people say against God and His servants will be sorry one day when judgment day comes....but it will be too late for many of them! (Matt. 7: 13,14)

Because some people are just plain evil and don't care who they hurt or what they destroy.  Some people look at others as stepping stones to getting what they want.  And if you are in the way .. prepare to be stepped on.

No, they are not condemned to go to hell\nbecause you call them by all these rude and\nhurting words. It is not a sin to be who you are.\nHowever, if you do not love thy neighbor\nas the ten commandments say, then you are \ncommitting a sin. God created us all in his\nimage. Are you saying he made a mistake\nand has not fixed that yet? What is Hell?\nFor allot of these people living in to days world is hell.\nAnd all the the righteous and Strong Christians etc,\nshould not point fingers at other people and say they\nare sinners before they have checked out their own\n'LAUNDRY"

Look, hell has been demonised by the Christians, and no wonder since the place is full of orgies and heavy metal and such. For me a place full of bible-thumping evangelicals praising god day & night is hell proper, no thanks, give me Lucifer anyday. Everyone gets what they want you see.

Wow, no offense but Satans got you right where he wants you. Satan is the father of lies, the prince of darkness, he's ready to kill and devour anything God will let him. Hell was created by God for the devil and his angels, not for people. Unfortunately some people end up there because they refuse God's forgiveness. Satans going to try and make himself appear harmless and when you least expect it he'll crush you and destroy your life. And half the time you won't even know it was him! He's that clever. Pray to Almighty God that Satan will not annihilate you.

Why?  Because you have compassion for them?  What a heartless God He would be if he sent people to hell for caring about others.
