I do not understand why don't you choose to accept the gift of Jesus and spare to yourself eternal damnation,torture and fire. Why do you do this to yourself? Jesus loves you and is giving you a choice not to go to hell, choose Jesus and get saved.
What are you waiting for ?

Jesus doesn't love me. He died a little over 2000 years ago. He doesn't even know I exist. Expecting a dead man to save me from something his deity purportedly invented in the first place is delusional.

What am I waiting for? Well...a single scrap of evidence that God even exists, for a start. And then, a single scrap of evidence that Jesus actually existed at all, and THEN that he was actually God in the flesh.
Oh, and the idea of eternal damnation,torture and fire is something that was made up by the people who invented your religion to scare people into believing what they wanted them to believe. It's a classic brainwashing technique. Now I'm not surprised that uneducated ancients bought into that nonsense, but people in this day and age...come on.

II do not understand why you choose to accept the curse of Jesus and spare to yourself eternal damnation,ignorance and unreason. Why do you do this to yourself? Mankind loves you and is giving you a choice not to go to hypocracy, choose Mankind and get saved.

Pray tell, how do you know there is eternal damnation?? I dont know that there is, and I certainly wont believe it until I see it.. in which case I will say well since I was a good person anyway and did nothing wrong in my life to deserve this, I am glad I didnt "worship" this god anyway as he is mighty cruel... I am living my life as a good, honest compassionate person.. I have done no wrong to deserve punishment, I am doing nothing to myself.. if there is a god and he will give me eternal damnation torture and fire, just because I didnt worship him, then I dont want to be part of that anyway because I believe that being good is its own reward and furthermore not being part of a group of people worshipping a deity that tortures people is a good thing in and of itself.

What shall I do to be saved? This is the ultimate question every person should ask. The answer comes. "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be save". Confess your sins and accept Christ as your personal savior today. Jesus wants to give you eternal life. He loves you, he loves you, he loves you so much. He died on calvary's cross for your sins so that you can be saved. Give Christ your heart today and begin a new life in Christ.

Maybe for a Christina to show kindness and sincerety t\rather than another one of you being rude.

1 Corinthians 9:20-23 (The Message)
Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever. I didn't take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ—but I entered their world and tried to experience things from their point of view. I've become just about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didn't just want to talk about it; I wanted to be in on it!

It's very simple. I don't believe the same things you do. Why is it so hard for you to understand? I can't "accept the gift of Jesus" if I believe he was a mortal man who died 2000 years ago, which I do. Until you provide me with proof otherwise, we are at an impasse.

There is no Jesus. I cannot offer a gift that doesn't exist. I'm not "denying" or "warring against" anything. No gods exist, not even yours, so there's no way I can "accept" them and get "saved".

Jesus is offering so much more. He offers a transfomed life in THIS world. He calls us to bring his kingdom here on earth and not just sit around waiting for heaven. If more believers took up this call, Christianity would be much more compelling--even to Atheists.
Yes, we choose between heaven and hell, but the more important choice is between a relationship with the God who created us or eternal separation from Him. God says, "Draw near to me, and I will draw near to you." That is the by far more compelling invitation than "turn or burn" which you offer up.
Blessings.
