What is loving about a God that does that?Why would anyone in the right mind want to give any respect or love to a God that would send them to Hell for any number of reasons that are often nothing to do with right or wrong and are just about dogma?
Learn of REAL religious love:
"And Blaire said onto him, "If a father loves his child would he torch-er his child?If a father loves his child would he expect his child to do all he says or else he shall be tortured?He so, he is not a father but a devil of men!For Giggles is father of men and women and Giggles teaches his children how to live but does not torcher them.Only a faith that needs to put upon fear in it's people to gain their faith needs to be of such a thought.For Giggles so loves us that he needs not our faith and needs not our will for he has given us this world and he has given us our guide in The Holy Book to teach us how to make this world paradise and all have defiled that book and made evil"." S.T.1. 2:3

As an agnostic acquaintence put it, "I would rather spend an eternity in Hell than worship a being that would create such a place."

Strange as it may sound, the Bible that most people use a duo or binding of two different books made up of several books, scrolls, letters etc. Initially there was the Torah and Tanackh,which are the Five books of Moses and the various books or scrolls of the prophets. When the Septuagint was created, which was something of a mistranslation of the Hebrew Torah into Greek, many intentional mistranslations were included in that text. Thats history. When Jerome translated the Septuagint, already corrupt, into the Latin Vulgate, he incorporated the errors of mistranslation into what became the Official Roman Catcholic Text for the OT along with the NT.
The New Testament was a unique batch of letters and gospels which garnered much of its theme from plagiarsm of several of the common Pagan cult religion which were popular in that millenium, particularly Mithrism which CHristianity largely copied and attributed the sayings and deeds to the new Character, Jesus, as the new god man saviour. One of those major pagan doctrines was about the underworld, Hades, or hell, a place of torment which was much improved with later poets, Dante, and John Milton, Paradise Lost. That there is no such hell fire existing in the Original Source Text, the Hebrew Bible, is mostly ignored. The doctrine of heaven and hell are both part of the synergism of pagan doctrines which Chrristian plagiarists incorporated into the Christian Bible, and which were included in the later English version texts.

I'm so sorry that you are so confused, it is by his "GRACE" that we can be saved at all.. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that "whosoever believeth" in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
It's YOUR choice to accept him into your life and try the best that you can to be like him (Now that's an impossible task, and God Knows That), living a good and rightous life! Believe me I was like you 3 short years ago. But if you do NOT accept him before you die you will be Judged, and I for one wouldn't like to see that happen to anyone. Do not be mislead by Satan, he IS a Liar and Hates Mankind. There is NOT Going to be Any Partying in the Lake Of Fire! You are being given a chance to Opt-Out of Hell take it!
No one is trying to win anyone over to anything. It's a SIMPLE FACT...If you do not accept Christ as your Lord and Savior you will be judged at the time of the "Great White Throne Judgment"... at that time you will plead your case to GOD, it's then you find out if your name is written in the "Book of Life" if it is not you will be cast into the "Lake of Fire". "The Revelation of Jesus Christ".
Christians are just trying to help you discover the Lord so that YOU can SAVE your OWN Soul ! It's ALL About Him, but Up to YOU! Try www.OKCFaith.com
I have no Idea what that Garbage is about "Giggles" or S.T.1.2.3 is. But I can tell you that "Blaire" is a "False Prophet"! Like Islam it seems to be based on Demon Philosophy!

Christians do not threaten anyone who do not believe their teachings with hell
Any lesson you take in this creation has two sides in which the mystics call "a pair of opposites" e.g. Holy and evil , Good and bad , Light and darkness etc
Thus christians teaches all the things you must know about life and serving God
You need to ask God to fill you with His Holy spirit who will real to you His deeper knowledge so that you can understand Him in truth and spirit. God loves you and He has a purpose for your perfect happiness in creation. He has work out a very easy way for you to know Him through JESUS CHRIST
Just believe that JESUS took all your sins away so that God can accept you as sinless son back to Him in love
It pains God to see someone die in sin
God is love

The Bible does not support the dogma of hell being a fiery place where the wicked are sent to burn for all eternity. Ecclesiates 9:5 says the dead are concious of nothing at all. They have no knowlegde of anytning anymore.
Death is the opposite of life.

I am a Christian and I believe that in order to win people over for Christ, we need to open relationships in love. Accept people the way they are first and then help them see how thier lives could be fuller and richer with God in thier lives. Many Christians take things to the extreme level and it gives Christians like us a bad name and makes us seem stuck up and snobby.

Because that's the standard scare tactic of several of the man-made religions. However, what the hell is "S.T.1. 2:3 "?

It doesn't work anyway. After the initial fear and horror wears off, people go right back to the way they were living before.
I do believe in Hell, and different levels of Hell, but not literal fire.

Fear is a powerful tool for manipulating and controlling people.
However, God is the source of love and life, not fear.
BTW: Blaire & Giggles??? Huh?

Control through fear... fear of the unknown and what "could" happen. The bible has been corrupted over the ages and contains false words. God is love. If there is anything you ever read or hear that has God's name attached to it and it makes you afraid, it's not his words. He only wants us to live in peace and harmony.

It's not God who is at fault, God is perfect. It's all the people who claim to be religious but who are so full of bitterness. They are the ones saying "believe or burn baby, burn." God is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
