to try and save him? Isn't this something like risking hurting someones feeling's for the sake of the truth if the truth means the difference between Heaven or Hell for this person?

That's a really cool way of putting it. Many Christians are afraid to share their faith because they are afraid of persecution and rejection. Yet, if you think about it, those same people who would thank them for not sharing their faith won't be thanking them as they are going to Hell.

Your logic is flawed on this one....
Breaking the man's leg prior to him wlking off a cliff is a bit strong - why not just tie his shoe laces together??
Same thing with your threat of Hell - it is a terrible reason to join your God, because he is allegedly omniscient, and would thus KNOW that I only believe to save my own backside. Not to mention that your "truth" is not the truth at all - it is only YOUR truth.
A person who is walking towards the edge of a clifff is facing a real danger. A person who is balancing on the razor's edge of "sin" is facing a mythological damnation. Apples and Oranges honey.... Just turn it around for a moment and think of this - Is it my responsibility to crack you over the head with a hammer so that you stop beleiving in this God stuff?? Absolutely not - you are free to beleive what you want. So am I. So quit preaching what I dont want to hear.

You know Midge, from your questions, I get the feeling that you may upset fewer people if you learnt some tact. There are ways of saying things, and ways of saying things.
honesty is good, but it does not have to be brutal honesty.
"Ok, some things we need to work on there" verses "I don't know why you bother trying, you're rubbish".
See what I mean?

depends upon the circumstances as I don't care what Religious Belief System a person follows as they have free will to believe however they want just like we do. GOD is to big to be in only one place and there are many paths and ways to get to ones destination.

No. Someone's spiritual beliefs are not your responsibility nor your business. I don't care who told you it was ... it just ISN'T.
Everyone will eventually get to Heaven ... just not in the same time. Comfort yourself with that knowledge.

well let's see let a man die with his limbs intact ot save his life and possibly break his leg sound's like a real no brainer to me you save the person's life the broken leg they end up with is the least of their concerns they'll most likely be grateful to you for saving their lives

What? Are you serious? If they wanna end it let them move on. i believe that if u couldn't persuade them before they tried to do it they've made up their mind.
