I hear many ministers saying things like:
"Straight & narrow is the way, few there be that find it, for the path to hell is broad"
"Not everyone that says lord, lord shall enter the kingdom"
If 10% claim to be X-tian, what is the real percentage who is not false, 1%? 5%?
Are you totally comfortable with deserting potentially your:
-) Wife or husband, no matter how good or loving
-) Kids
-) Family members like granmaw & granpaw or bro & sis
-) Closest friends
-) Co-workers @ work
-) Possibly up to 90% or more of who you know here on earth, statistically
Just knowing that you alone made it to heaven, & God wipes all your tears away, won't that be worth it?
You will never be sad, never have to worry about your marshmallows down there.
God will be sure to turn them over from time to time, to be sure they brown evenly & crisply if necessary.
I just want to know, if you even care about them after they are helplessly roasting?
Will you be wondering if the marshmallows are done yet?

It's like you are talking about some sort of Harry Potter Magical world. It's crazy person talk. Seems like the human race could better apply itself to issues of real concern if we didn't worry about things that are NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. Why can't we just be good people to make the world a better place rather than appease someone who lives in the clouds. Do you people even listen to yourselves?

I don't give lip service to imaginary things out of fear. Must admit i do like a marshmallow now and again though.

Makes you wonder how anyone could love a god like that.
Btw, you are also basing this on the assumption that Christianity is the right religion.

It seems those "religious leaders" who condemn others to hell think that Christ was wrong when he said in Matthew 7 1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
In other words--by condemning others to hell--you are sentencing yourself to hell.
