do you really have a choice when you have to choose between God or 'death by eternal fire in hell'?

This is the typical bible thumpers scare tatic.I don't believe in god,therefore I know there isn't a hell so choice isn't an issue with me.I'm told "god"loves everyone,so why does he cast the non-believers into hell because they don't worship him.You can have your god,I don't need him.

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)

Why do people say stupid things like, "if there isn't a hell then i've just wasted some time praying, but if there is a hell, boy are you in for a surprise."?
Then the very same people say about Global Warming," there is no proof and I'm not going to waste any time doing anything about it now, and if it happens then, oops."

We are already in HELL ! Here we experience the fire of miseries like birth, disease, old age, death, fear and anxiety. And yes, we must not only believe in God, but develop a loving relationship with Him by serving Him.

There is no hell only outer darkness
Celestial Glory is the Glory of God the Father and Jesus Christ
Terrestrial Glory is lesser than Celestial.
Telestial Glory is lesser than Terrestrial.

You can choose not to believe in bullsh!t, think of religion as being like a TV show, just switch it off when it becomes offensive and change to another channel, try atheism for example.

Some people don't believe hell. almost Everyone goes to hell. it just depends on how long you stay there before going to heaven.

Interesting theory. If you had some proof I would sign up in two seconds. Unfortunately, all I seem to ever hear is "god said it, I believe it, that settles it."
