Simple. You will be tortured for eternity. What could be worse? If there was something that could be worse, then that something would apply instead. I just can't think of anything worse than eternal torture. Oh, wait, I know . . . you will be forced to watch John Wayne movies for eternity. NOW you WILL join my religion slash cult slash belief system, now wontcha?

That's entirely up to you, and entirely fine by me. We don't get toaster ovens for winning new converts in Wicca.
As far as I'm concerned, if there is a Deity, He/She loves everyone equally regardless of their belief system. As long as you're not waving pitchforks in my face and interfering with me practicing my own faith, I'm more than willing to live and let live.

What's great about most religions is that you can choice whether or not you want to join. It's a freedom that is not taken as serious as it really is. Religion is a choice of faith. You should nv join unless you want to.
Just my thoughts...

Hi Bett,
That is certainly your perogative. I do not belong to a cult but I am a Christian and I would like for you to be at least open to the opportunity of becoming a Christian. If you decide not to then that is your choice. Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
1. We must HEAR GOD’s WORD. - Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
2. We are told to BELIEVE. - To the Prison guard in Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
3. We must REPENT (turn from) of our sins. - Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.
4. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST before men. - Matthew 10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
5. We are to enter the waters and BE BAPTIZED. - Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
6. We are told to CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL until death. - Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.

We all make our own choices honey. Is there someone that keeps pressuring you? Remind them we are only meant to plant the seed, if it does not bear fruit, move on.

I'd argue you have not investigated Leviathanism in all its glory.
I say unto all of you. Accept the giant scaly sea-monster or be doomed - DOOOOOOMED....

If you live in a free democratic country then it really is a case of "What if."
If you don't then there are some complications.

That is OK, just think about what motivates you to not to. You are a smart woman you will know what is for you and what is not. : )
