That I was not on their side? That was a nice complement. What they don't understand is I am on their side. I'm not on their side in one thing. How many times have Atheists been condemned to Hell by Christians? Why do you have to be so pathetically serious about it. Don't you know it's just a joke to us?

It may be a joke to you, but there are too many accounts of people who have died, gone to Hell, and then been resuscitated/returned to life to tell about it for me to take it as a laughing matter. These people have lived in different eras, countries, and social milieus, but their stories have so many similarities that it's well beyond chance.
Can you blame us for wanting to spare the people we care about from eternal pain, thirst, and degradation? If there is even the slightest chance that we aren't mistaken about the existence of a real Hell -- and there is a whole lot more than just a slight chance -- then we would be callous and uncaring not to warn people about the suffering there.
Your friends obviously love you more than you love them if they're concerned about you, while you just laugh at them.

Wow. I am a Christian and I am amazed that your buddy stated the ones matters like that. That isn't correct, what she did. And she was once obviously unsuitable in pronouncing that God does not love you. He does! He loves all people! He loves me, you, everybody. Even folks who reject him and curse His title. He does not wish to look any people cross to hell. [Also, the yin yang isn't a logo for satanism. The goat within the the wrong way up famous person is.] Your buddy appears like she has little or no love in her middle. And all Christians must have close to not anything however love of their hearts! Please do not use her and her peers' movements to stereotype all Christians. I obviously could certainly not say the ones matters and do not suppose anybody ever must. Now a few men and women are simply nonetheless immature and now not totally-grown Christians once they do such matters. I recognise a few children in my church who did approximately the identical factor your buddy[s] did to my atheist buddy while I introduced her to a church picnic. They had been impolite and accusing her and pointing their arms pronouncing she was once sinning and going to hell for now not believing in God. Now I am beautiful definite they'll develop out of such conduct. They had been nonetheless very immature and did not fairly have a grip of real Christianity but. It would be identical along with your buddy, regardless of the age. The manner the ones men and women stated the ones matters don't seem to be easy methods to cross approximately this type of factor in any respect. I'm very sorry that they acted the way in which they did. I am close to not sure if I can name them fellow Christians. I have no idea them, so I cannot say for definite. But what I desire is that from this reply you're going to now not bring a grudge towards all Christians. We don't seem to be all like that. In truth, many men and women who profess to be Christians don't seem to be fairly of their hearts. True, mature Christians could certainly not act in this type of manner. God bless!

We dont have the power or authority to condemn you to hell only God will do that. As far as it being a joke to you that were so serious. We dont realize that you dont care. Just like some atheists dont realize that posting links in their answers to try and convert us are even gonna be read or viewed.

Subject: Phil. 4:13
This will give you chills.... No matter how religious you may or may
not be, this can give you chills.
Phil. 4:13 states: "I can do all things through Christ which strengthen
me."
Here's the story:
A young man who had been raised as an atheist was training to be an
Olympic diver.
The only religious influence in his life came from his outspoken
Christian friend.
The young diver never really paid much attention to his friend's
sermons, but he heard them often.
One night the diver went to the indoor pool at the college he attended.
The lights were all off, but
as the pool had big skylights and the moon was bright, there was plenty
of light to practice by.
The young man climbed up to the highest diving board and as he turned
his back to the pool on the
edge of the board and extended his arms out, he saw his shadow on the
wall.
The shadow of his body, was in the shape of a cross. The man felt a
strange feeling, like someone
was speaking to him. Instead of diving, he knelt down and finally asked
God to come into his life.
As the young man stood, a maintenance man walked in and turned the
lights on.
The pool had been drained for repairs.
Remember this story and send it to a friend. Yes, I do Love Jesus.
He is my source of existence and Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and everyday.
"Without Him, I will be nothing.
Without him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through
Christ that strengthens me."
Phil 4:13.

The only one who can condemn anyone to Hell is Jesus. If a person wants to do so then that person had best be willing to stand for the same judgement of their own iniquities.

Actually any Christian that knows what the bible states, knows that its a joke or foolishness to you.
If you want to read it for yourself, Go to the book of Romans and you will find where after you have rejected God in your heart of hearts that he will grant you your hearts desire and turn you over to your own thoughts and desires. The word of God will seem as foolishness to you.
It is written so that you do not have to rely on me being truthful, you can read it for yourself.

I have often been told by Christians that I'm going to hell. I stand for peace and love. If they want to send me to hell, so be it. At least I won't be with people like then in heaven.

As a Christian I have read that type of condemnation so many times and every time it sickens me. I do sincerely apologize for my misguided brothers and sisters.

Christians cant condemn anyone to hell. Only you can send yourself there by the path you take. The path to God or the path away from God. It's your choice, God forces no one to follow Him.

I'm sorry some folks give answers you don't like . Look for wisdom in answers you read.and Remember Life is not a joke look for reasoning in the answers. Some power created you and HE would like you to understand that and love Him for doing that . and He would like to share in your thoughts in your everyday living ,give you sound advice and offer something no one else but you and He can share.
