Whenever you talk about what happens to those who do not believe in the divinity of your god, it applies to our dead loved ones who did not believe in the divinity of your god.
Are you so insensitive as to not see this? Does your insensitivity leave you confused about why your efforts get nowhere with so many of us?

I appreciate the effort, but could not find an answer that addressed my question directly.

Is it not better to learn and not follow?
I can not say your loved ones are in hell, I did not go there and count heads and take names.
If they are, It is not punishment, they have not been judged, they are not pure to enter heaven that's all. There may be a chance to redeem them selves, I'm not sure how!
During the Rule of Christ, Those in Christ can go to those who failed and help them.
I do not know if this only applies to those of the tribulation, or to all or part from hell.
After the Rule of Christ (1000 years) Judgment, and the Lake of fire this is the second death.
Now a Question:
You father has been arrested, tried, and jailed, and may in 20years be put to death!
Will you rebel against the state over this and may even find your self in this situation?
Or
Go to school get a degree in law, review your fathers case, and try with all your ability, have your fathers conviction overturned?

First, only God knows who is truly a believer. No thoughtful Christian will ever guess who is in hell and who is not.
Second, if you don't believe in Christianity why are you hyped up about what Christians say about heaven and hell? If you don't believe then what does it matter what someone says about your loved ones?
I think you need to do a little better at thinking. Find out for yourself what is true.

Christian here: I would never tell anyone that their loved one is in hell as I do not believe God would create such a place.
To say that is to judge and Jesus taught me not to judge lest ye be judged in the same manner. Jesus' message is for us to love one another, and to do unto others as you would have them do onto you. Isn't that good news. That is his good news so there, many profess to be christians and don't take the time to find out what it means, just follow in Jesus' footsteps, lay your life for your brother, there is no greater sacrifice right? That's what he did for us all and that is why I love Him so. He was already with God and He humbled himself to be a mere human to save us. I pray everyone can come to see Jesus in this light.
I think it is ok to tell whoever tells you such awful things just what you believe because you are right, sometimes people who believe themselves chistians really get self righteous and this only makes me sad but that is not Jesus' message. Be as children all innocent and questioning.

the information is said in the bible of what God allows and doesn't allow. the truth is that it is not insensitivity but the truth spoken. for example, someone may have a nice personality but the fact they are a prostitute will put them in Hell because they were unclean with their bodies and used it in a sinful way.

Hi, you sound a little pissed, I can understand why. My father is a jew, and I am a christian, even though we beleive in one true god we disagree on the return of the true god to earth based on the jewish torah and the christian new testament.
My dad and nanny got pissed when some holy roller would say that their loved ones would have gone to hell if they did not beleive. So over the years I asked god to reveal to me the truth of his scripture, I have been to hell and back in my life and I do beleive in god and I beleive he is known as jesus, however I beleive that god reveals himself to every person in his own good time, and that some people who die will face judgement as all of us may face, according to scripture if we are lukewarm in our beleifs he will spit us out, so we get a little worried. What I am trying to get at is keep an open mind and heart for what is good in your life and if you seek god he will reveal himself to you . I beleive we who choose to be good over evil will somehow find the one true god no matter what language we speak. The worse thing we can do to each other is to judge for we are not god, however we are intelligent and we know when something in our life is producing bad things we must change it, wether it is germs from dirty clothes or music and activities that will make us sick. I beleive that is why god keeps trying to reveal himself to us, so we can find better ways to live with one-another and have goodness in our lives. No person has the right to tell us we are living are lives wrong, unless what we are doing is hurting others...............there are fine lines everywhere and many times we cross them in our hope to make someones life better even if ours is in bad shape...................good tidings and amy the knowledge you are looking for finds you and you know you have...I have no doubt if it is god you will know him...............mel

Do you mean,they didn't believe in God or that they didn't go to church? No one can judge a person,on where they are going after they die. I think God loves each one of us, and he looks in the heart. Just because a person doesn't go to church....I don't think God will care. But what's in their heart does count. If they tried to be good.

True Christians do not judge people. Most of the ones you see doing this are hypocrites. Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin be the first to cast their stone." Yet a lot of Christians don't seem to remember that.

Nobody can say what has happened to the dead. They have no right to say an d no knowledge of it. It's God's choice not man's.
People saying that stuff are blaspheming.

Why are you so rude Atheist? And who exactly are you talking to? Are Christians here actively sending you messages trying to convert you? ...I doubt it, why keep stereotyping them all? Keep on questioning though, it just shows that you are either lonely and sad, or unconvinced in your own beliefs. Why are you so insensitive as to not see that?
and by the way, you continue to prove me right, and I don't read messages sent by bored Atheists, thanks anyways.
