I do.
Of course they are not able to deliver on the promise, but we all know that the primary purpose of terrorism is to put fear in the minds of others.
If somebody without a bomb called in a bomb threat, wouldn't it still be a threat?

Yes, it is a terroristic threat... Unfortunately, some do deliver on the promise... they make this life a scary hell for those around them.

Why limit it to Christians? Surely you could see a case where someone besides a Christian could tell you to go to hell. Are you really afraid you will go to hell if someone tellls you that you will? If people are going to be declared making terroristic threats just for this, it won't be long before ANYONE who is considered opposition to the political powers, including those expressing free speech are rounded up and done away with. Look at any dictatorship or political regime and you will see in the pattern that one of the first rights to go away is that of free speech and expression.

Like a fake bomb threat, if delivered to those who do not know it is a lie, it is terrorism, esp if used against innocent children... If a child ever told that to my child, I'd slap the other kid's daddy.

i am a christian and don't believe it is my job to judge you or to tell you are going to hell, that is for God to determine, i would only direct you to the bible to read about what God says will condemn you to hell. Christians that put these feelings out there are not good for the movement! i am sorry you feel that all of us should be lumped together. i wouldn't not get to know you or condemn you for your beliefs, God gave everyone a choice!! Not all choose the same! So i guess i would agree that they do behave a bit like terrorist you don't scare people to heaven.

I totally agree with you!
A threat is a declaration of intention to inflict punishment or harm on another. It will often be conditional upon a particular course of action on the part of the recipient.
The threat can have a form of an explicit or implicit message.
It can also be any source of probable impending danger (e.g. "a terrorist threat"), or a warning of an impending danger.

It's not a credible threat. It would be like telling someone that, if they aren't mumified and buried with their belongings, they won't be reborn in the Land of the Dead, or will be but without any possessions. Or warning someone that unless they stop blaspheming a lightning bolt will strike him.

Oh no.... then lets arrest all of the Christian's and charge them with terrorism.....
Do you realize how stupid this question makes you sound?????
It's only terrorism if you consider it a conceivable threat. To consider it a threat you have to believe in Hell.....
To believe in Hell you have to believe it as described by the Bible. therefore you believe the Bible.... ergo you believe in God.
Get it.... Man you walked into that one.

There you go again. Sounds just like something Jesus would have said in one of his parables. (Especially that part about a phone call, pretending there was a bomb, would still be a "sin".

So, if you don't believe in an afterlife, and a Christian warns you of hell in the afterlife, have you really been threatened?
It saddens me how little logic is valued on Y!A.
