Terrorism is defined by the US Department of Defense as "the unlawful use of -- OR THREATENED USE OF-- force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives."
Christianity says that you must follow the bible, or you will BURN IN HELL. By the FBI's definition, this is TERRORISM.

No it isn't. No Christian ever claimed to have the power to send anyone to hell, and no Christian threatens to send anyone to hell.
"Don't touch that hot stove it will burn you."
"Stop threatening to burn me on the stove!"
Come on. If you can't tell the difference between that and "the threatened *USE* of force," then you are in worse shape than I thought.
In fact, you are guilty of the same thing by your reasoning. Not only do you believe that some acts have negative consequences, but you believe that Christians are guilty of terrorism. So, by your rationale, you are threatening Christians. So, you are a terrorist yourself.

I doubt you'll find a lot of support for this belief.
For one thing, the "threat" is not operable until after you're dead. Terrorism is operable while you are still alive.
Second, there is no perceived "threat" if you don't believe in Hell.

It was a mediocre attempt at cleverness. The very context of the definition screams that it applies only to this life, not the afterlife. Nice try, though.

You left out one very important thing. People being terrorized do not have a freewill choice in the matter. You do. You are free to choose to believe in Christ and receive salvation or you are free to reject it and suffer the consequence of that choice.

The Bible also says that those who believe and are baptised will be saved. Additionally, it says that those who pray for forgiveness will be forgiven.

Boy are you a piece of work!
Hell is in the afterlife, not the present and I don't see Christians blowing you up. It's all about the choices YOU make, not what I as a Christian say or do. If you don't agree with Christian teachings,that is your choice, but don't lump us in with terrorists, it's just not correct.

And if anyone has accidentally seen you naked, then technically, you should be on the sex offenders list. Thank god common sense rules, and no one has pressed charges against you.
