I was raised I the church and left as a teen. I could no longer digest what was being spoon fed to me.
I have no belief in hell, so I will have to say I disagree with you.
BTW, I do not feel your attitude does anything to encourage others to explore Christianity.

Jesus would never say that. Muslims and Hindus worship the same God they just use a different name. It is said that those who do not know Jesus will be judged on their actions. They won't burn in hell forever, they'll just have to have more incarnations until they enter heaven either by the grace of Jesus Christ or by transmuting their ego and karma. Jesus wasn't a Christian, does that mean he's going to burn in hell? The essence of the Vedas, Sufism etc. is completely compatible with the essence of Christianity. Some Muslims and Hindus act more like Jesus than some Christians. God will reward them more than people who call themselves Christian and wage war. To truly be Christians we have to learn how to love all our brothers and sisters all over the planet and tolerate their religions. Peace be with you.

Oh you are just killing me! I have been spending my night wondering why the Atheists on this board are so hateful. Well congrats you answered my question!
I posted a link to Matthew 7:21-29 on another board I think you should read it.
The bible says nothing about converting to another religion. For that matter Christian was a name given in scorn by enemies. There is nothing sacred in the name of what you believe.
Please don't claim to represent Christianity if you do not follow it. Preaching error is called heresy and speaking untruth about God is called Blasphemy. Use caution my friend.

God will not burn in hell any Muslim, Hindu or a member of any faith if he or she has tried, in keeping with his or her capacity and understanding to live as a peaceful human being on the earth and has not been a willful sinner He is very gracious and merciful and has created the entire Universe for the mankind.
However, He will surely burn people who, despite knowing the right path opt for the wrong. It is the arrogant among the human beings who shall taste the fire of hell. The humble who also remain striving to know their God and remain in touch with him will get forgiven even if they commit mistakes. Seeking forgiveness is however a precondition in relations with the God.

"If you are a Muslim, Hindu, or a member of any other religion, or an atheist or agnostic, you will burn in Hell FOREVER when you die." Such a loving god who sends us to fry like bacon for all eternity (In His mercy).

no I don't agree. And I'm fairly certain G-d doesn't like you threatening his creations in his name.
Why am I not Christian? because having a G-d who would send his son to be killed when he can simply say.. I forgive my creations.. doesn't make sense to me. I wouldn't push my kid into an oncoming bus to save the people standing in its path.. I would jump myself and push those people out of the way. Futhermore, I don't think G-d sits in Heaven with a big red marker waiting to mark down every little mistake people make to punish them later with it (sounds a lot like blackmail)... I don't believe that one can claim to be monotheistic and say that the devil is a fallen angel who rose up against G-d in some heavenly war.(then say angels did not have free will... well if they didn't have free will then one of them could NOT have possibly rose up against anything if G-d didn't will it.) And has some measure of control over the earth and the people on it. That's believing in two supreme (yet unequally powerful) beings, not to mention the worship of the 'son'... Lastly, one of the biggest reasons is that there are always some Christians who thinks you're not a 'real' Christian because you do something a little different from them or if you disagree with them.

I dont know whether I will burn in Hell after death, but I am sure you are burning yourself alive having burning eyes on other religions. More over, your hatred to other religions burn the fair sentiment of the faith and belief of christian religion.

Disagree..
I am not christian or any other religion because I do not believe the bible is anything more than a collection of stories..
I do not believe there is a deity.. I do not believe there is a heaven or hell..
Why would I join a religion when I have no religious beliefs.. That would be the height of hypocrisy wouldn't..
Your argument for doom and gloom is overwhelmingly anticlimactic as none of what you threaten in your chosen deity's name means anything to me as I don't believe any of it..

I am NOT a Christian because:
I believe in a God that is ever living
I believe in a prophet who claimed to be a universal prophet, unlike Jesus or Moses who were for specific nations and tribes.
I believe in a book which is NOT TEMPERED WITH by humans
I don't believe in dogma the church teaches

Wow Donny, you certainly cut to the chase. Think of it this way. Think about how strong you obviously feel about your beliefs. This is just how the rest of the world feels about theirs. Don't try and "scare" people into believing you with threats of a burning hell. That's bullying people. If you truly want to convert someone, try talking to them one on one, and discuss your beliefs and differences. LIsten to them just as you expect them to listen to you. Using the approach you just did, you will only make people of other religions think less of you. Good luck.
