I'm not missing out on anything! I thoroughly enjoy my life. I do whatever I want and I don't have to answer to some sky fairy. Even if god did exist, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be spending eternity with a bunch of christians. I get enough of that on earth, today.

I'm christian, and I'm not in the least concerned with where you go. Our job was to spread the word, it's done. You have free will, if you choose to deny him, that's your right, I don't care. Please don't get in your head that we're all in a tissy about you going to hell, some of us realize you make your own decisions, its out of our hands, and quite frankly, I have my own sins to deal with, don't have the time or energy to be worried about one more anonymous atheist on the net rejecting God.

Because there are a lot of christians out there that are very concerned with how they are saved but the rest of the world is sinners. Dont forget when you point a finger there are 3 pointing back at YOU.
Nobody else can judge you or tell you where you're going. Take their words with a grain of salt and remember in the end they don't matter.
Do what is right for you and try not to spend too much time worrying about a vast majority of people that condemn others and rarely take responsibility for themselves.

Why is the American Government so concerned with keeping kids off drugs.
If you have a problem with Christians and hell, then you also better being having a problem with JUST SAY NO and that TV commercial about the EGG and the FRYING PAN (this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs -- scare tactic, isn't it!)
Why is the women's movement so bent on keeping girls out of the fields of Pornography and Prostitution. There are a lot of very rich girls out there doing those things who think any girl who works at K-Mart on Thanksgiving day for $7.50 an hour is a fool.
Why is PETA so bent on keeping us from eating and wearing animals (yet their leader uses animal insulin). To the point where they destroy private property, break into buildings.

Because you are missing out on the purpose of life and you are living for this world and leaning on your own understanding and it's the next life you'll be rewarded in for what you do with this one. I'm glad you use the word concern because that is exactly what it is. We want to share with you what we know, we want you to have all the blessings you can and it really is all about God and it is all about what Jesus did for us so that you can know him, be with him and live for eternity. The alternative is just so horrible also, but one must not believe in fear, one should come to God in love. Then you will understand.
After your recap: Have it your way then :(

I will speak for myself. I am concerned about people going to hell because of the damage being done on earth causes. Everyone is affected by the good and bad things in life. We are put here for a reason, and when we die we should leave the world a better place than we found it.
I am concerned for the future, our children. I want my children to be safe and happy and contribute great things in other people.

There is NO TORMENT in hell. The word commonly refers to the common grave of mankind in the KJV.
Christians are told to love even their enemies. The preaching work is done so as to if possible save you from dying eternally.
See the following subjects:
Soul[Immortal & Animal, What?] Man’s Spirit
Condition of the Dead:[ One & Two, Special Scriptures ]
Sheol and Judgment

It is an old belief used to scare people for centuries into paying some clergy to buy them out of it.
Did you know it is NOT in the Bible? Ecclesiastes 9: 5-6,10 shows the dead are unconscious, not able to do anything or effect anyone in [Hebrew] Sheol [or Greek-Hades] . This is hell--the common grave of mankind.

Did you know... The Bible talks at least twice as much about hell as it does heaven?
God must be trying to tell us it is real. But mostly, He just wants you to end up in Heaven with Him. Why? Because He LOVES YOU!!!
"God is willing that none should perish but that all would receive eternal life."
Their not concerned about you going to hell so much as concerned about you going to Heaven.
God Bless.

True Bible believing Christians have experienced the peace of the Lord. We see how awesome it is to know Christ and have hope in the future. We know we are going to heaven.
We are commanded to share the gospel so that everyone has the choice to follow Christ.
At the end of this lifetime we will stand before Christ and be judged.
Will your name be in the 'book of life' or will you spend eternity in hell?
