The Christians are the ones who invented Hell, so why can't they just go there and leave everyone else alone? Why must Christians try to "shame" everyone? I guess they don't like to see people happy!

When man kind rebelled against God. until that time we never knew death.
We became like a cancer"a rebellion of cells"
Because we had freedom of choice,we had the choice over knowledge or obedience to God, We chose knowledge.
Sin is the price for that knowledge, the wages of sin is death as is the final conclusion of Cancer is death.
So God knew this would happen, even before man was even created.and God had a formula.
That formula, or salvation is found only in the acts of
Repentance, and to ask Jesus to be your personal Savior, and in receiving the Holy Ghost and to be baptized, In any order.

Salvation- this is why people reject a pious pompous religion, because they can't get of their high and elitist horse to see their poop stinks just as much as any other person
a believer usually means they run out of options for lack of knowledge or experience and have to do a "leap of faith" sans fact
but even when facts are revealed a true believer rejects reason and rationale, common sense and reality in favor of fairy tales that put them as bigots

Is it becasue you are not happy, that you feel everyone should feel & think as you do? What good can come from that. I would never wish unhappiness on anyone. One day all us Christians will be apart from those who don't believe, and they will wish to be where we are. Shame, can be healthy if it stops you from making bad choices.
Example Someone chooses to have premarital sex as a 1 night stand. Doesn't feel ashamed & keeps doing it, even though it is wrong. Contracts AIDS. Wishes they had listened to someone with wisdom, or was made to feel bad, so that they wouldn't have done it, & gotten ill!
Wrong + Wrong = Wrong
Wrong + Right = Wrong
Right + Right= Right.
Continuing to do Wrong with Right intentions is still wrong!!!

Christians did not event Hell. Satan is the fallen angel. Satan wanted to take over heaven. Therefore God cast Satan to Hell for eternity. It is our choice to serve God or Satan. We love to see people live a happy life. We just do not want one soul lost Satan . Hell is where Satan and his demons dwell. We Christians want many souls saved through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Actually the Lake of Fire was invented at least 500 years earlier in Greece. Socrates mentions it in the book The Republic (Actually it is Plato who is the writer). This was at the time in which ancient Hebrews, never mention such a belief. It seems more than likely that the ancient hebrews believed death was the end. Though some differed on that view and much later developed a more advanced view of a resurection. Unlike the Saducees.
EDIT
HEY 'Boppysgirl' your conclusions makes no sense
you say
Wrong + Wrong = Wrong
Wrong + Right = Wrong <<< -- (you choose 'wrong' to be the answer here when 'right', can easily be argued to be an equal and fair choice)
Right + Right= Right
(Personally I would say that 'addition' is not appropriate here, Boolean logic is more appropriate but still not realistc. Wrong AND Wrong = Wrong)
Oh well... Merry Christmass

Christians cant go to hell because they have the love of Christ in them,hell is a place for people that cant accept Him I certainly dont want to push my spiituality on anyone but have to respect that some care enough to try to keep people out of hell

Actually if you bothered to read the Bible... they are the only ones that are NOT going to hell. But it is your choice so if you feel like it, then go there, as for myself I will believe in God and the salavation that is provided by the life and death of Jesus and go to heaven!

They can't go to hell for the same reason they can't go to heaven: these places do not exist. When they die, they will cease to exist and their bodies will rot. The energy that was once contained in the atoms making up their bodies will go back into the earth and into plants and animals; that is as close as any of us will ever get to an "afterlife."
