After all, you're just going to burn in hell if you don't come to Jesus now.

It's just so damn frustrating. I agree. But who is it that doesn't get it? *snickers*

It is equally, if not more frustrating, to get humans (endowed with the faculty for reasoning) NOT to bury their heads in the sand and blindly believe in "magic/miracles" written by Man hundreds of years ago!
Your judgemental phrase.. "others don't seem to get it" smacks of self-glorification, arrogance and intolerance. This perverted attitude has led to countless religious wars/conflicts hundreds of years ago. The same attitude is the cause of the present mayhem and murders in the present time. viz the Israeli vs the Arabs; the terrorists etc.
Yes, it is indeed frustrating that people like you who chose to stand on religious high ground (and look down on all other TRUE beliefs) cannot see the light of the matter after all these hundreds of years of religious wars and mass murders!
My advice: Open up your mind. Don't just read the history of the bible alone, read the holy books of all the other major world religions and accept the inescapable fact that the millions who practise other beliefs are not fools, who do not know how to seek the Truth, as you try to imply.

I am a member of a religion where people often shun. However, because my faith and beliefs in this faith are so strong; I am not at all bothered by people who choose to condemn, judge, or otherwise look down upon those with different beliefs. See I belong to an organization that serves one God unitedly and are in no competition with any other religious organization. We spread the word about the God that we serve because we love him, are proud to be followers of him, and also because we know and have no doubt that he is the one and only God.....Read 1 Corinthians 8:5 and 6; then read Psalms 83:18....Hope this helped u...............

Yes! I find it very frustrating that few people can admit that I am 100% correct at not knowing if I'm correct. Unfortunately, being an Orthodox Agnostic, I can't wish them to some contrived place like 'Hell" or "Purgatory".
If I could, I wouldn't send them to burn eternally in a lake of fire. Instead I'd put them in a room with a thousand bad banjo players........ forever!
I'm kidding. I'm not that cruel. But I'd stick it to em' for a couple of days at least. That would teach those non-believers to not believe rill quick.

Stop judging. I don't give a toss what you do and I am tolerant of others. Isn't that what your religion encourages?
Oh, scare-mongering isn't the best way to attract people either.
"After all, you're just going to burn in hell if you don't come to Jesus now." How do you know???

That is your perspective and thats ok, nothing wrong with that.
But I know that there is truth in all religions. How can you explain the fact that before your Jesus and all that came around there were religions that had been around for thousands of years? How is it if you are supposed to accept people for who they are, why would you condemn them for what they CHOOSE to believe in?? I have been to hell and I hate to tell you, there are people there who believe in Jesus too.

Ahhh--remembrances of my childhood. Are you so sure that you are right that you feel justified in condemning the beliefs of others? Your relationship with God is your private bond---"Judge not lest ye be judged." People should come to God through love, not the fear of burning in hell. Worry about your own soul and show kindness to those of other faiths--you may not be as "right" as you think you are.

Shake that thing Miss Ana Bella, Shake that thing Miss...
If you actually KNOW it's true (aka have real knowledge not just a delusional belief based on hope), then you will have no problem demonstrating it.

Once again let's insult people to try to convert them! No offense but your really doing a crappy job representing Jesus' love for all of mankind.
And you wonder why you don't get many converts?

It is very frustating.
I mean, it's so obvious that Eris Discordia created all-that-is, and so few people seem to understand it.
She's going to feed them all to Aneris, or worse, Cthulhu, if they don't get wise.
