First of all.
THE LAKE OF FIRE HAS NOT BEEN BUILT YET.
Hell is mentioned 162 times in the New Testament by 8 different names and 8 different meanings.
Is There A Real Hell?
What do these names Sheol, Hades, Gehenna, Queber, Tartarus, Abyss, Hell, and the Lake of Fire mean?
When you find out what these are, you'll more understand why people aren't there...YET.
It's a false teaching. They will burn in hell, but they aren't yet.
get the story correct. That's why most people don't believe God or the Word of God.
people don't know it too preach it.

Threats and Fear and Intimidation have not been known to be very motivating or empowering elements in the human experience.
Love is a completely different experience, and it does not include attempting to control others by scaring them. Jesus had a way with words and he didn't seem to use the phrase "and unless you do not accept what others say about me...you will burn in hell". At least I didn't read that anywhere in my Bible.

It was my understanding that in your religion people didn't go straight to hell. That comes after the return of Jesus and all that crap.
So your answer is, they're mad because their loved one isn't in hell. And if you ever said something like that to me all I can say is that when it was over and you were on the ground moaning for your mama I would still be dropping my knee on the side of your head. I'm not a little man. You wouldn't like it very much.

Oh, I don't know... maybe because 'pointing it out' is (1) an extreme example of religious bigotry, (2) extremely rude, (3) presumptuous and (4) just really stupid.
I'd like to point out that your loved ones, who have passed on, are slowly decomposing in the ground. I don't want to point this out, but you force the issue.
Mind you you can keep your head in the sand if you want.

Ignorance is bliss......
oh wait, the one that says that IS ignorant.
to turn a blind eye on the truth is wickedness.
religion did not stop for the begger....it was the compassionate heart of the man who gave what he had to help the dying begger on the side of the road, while others avoided him.
oh by the way.......
This is what Jesus ALONE did for mankind.
we were that helpless, dying begger and he came and paid the price so that we can be made whole again...time to reconsider the word of God people . God bless.......oh wait!! he has been.
read His word. -LIVE4TRUTH =]

Cause you are incompetent and people who don't believe in god don't believe in hell nor heaven. Therefor you are just trying to make a sorry attempt to push your religion on them.
Can you prove they are burning in hell? I don't think you can, you can just show a bible that haves that written in it. That is not 100% true. So that is not proof.

its called sensativity, just cause you think that they burn in hell does not mean that other people want to, the people who have suffered a loss no matter how unaccepting of jesus the loss was, their loved ones who are still alive need comforting and it is not comforting to here that a loved one who died is now burning in hell

Haven't you got any feeling or compassion. What sort of person would say that to another human being about their relatives just because they didn't believe as the same as you. It certainly is wrong, very wrong and you should be ashamed of yourself.
