I hate it when atheists act like it's a scare tactic. When someone mentions this it is done out of concern for them.

If you hate them so much, I would think you'd be happy seeing atheists in Hell. Why are you trying to convince them otherwise?
Or do you get commission points redeemable in Heaven each time you convert an atheist?

Hell is a town in Norway. Look it up on a map.
Anyway, there is Biblical proof that Heaven is hotter than Hell.
______________________
The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is Isaiah 30:26,
"Moreover, the light of the Moon shall
be as the light of the Sun and the light
of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the
light of seven days."
Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from the Sun, and in addition 7*7 (49) times as much as the Earth does from the Sun, or 50 times in all. The light we receive from the Moon is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from the Sun, so we can ignore that ... The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for radiation, (H/E) temperature of the earth (-300K), gives H as 798K (525C). The exact temperature of Hell cannot be computed ...
[However] Revelations 21:8 says
"But the fearful, and unbelieving ... shall
have their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and brimstone."
A lake of molten brimstone means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, 444.6C. We have, then, that Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C.

Looks like burning in Heaven is actually worse than burning in Hell.
Hell is just a scare tactic that the church used to scare you as a kid - just so that you would attend church. It is permanently scarring, but as long as you attend church, things like that are trivial.

The concept of hell is silly as is the concept of the Christian three in one god.
Most importantly is your statement: I hate it when atheists act like it's a scare tactic. When someone mentions this it is done out of concern for them. EMPHASIS ON "I HATE".
Great testimony.
Way to go Christian.

It is an idle threat. It is a scare tactic. If it weren't, you would not attempt to use it and would instead only highlight the good things about becoming a follower of Christ.
I'm wide awake. Thanks for your "concern."

Only God has the right to judge people. And the last time I checked you weren't God. Let the athiests believe what they want to and let God do the judging. Go find an athiest and forget about your differences. Then maybe you'll see that both of you just want what is best for this world.

Your God judges people on their beliefs rather than their actions and that is not loving. But let me just say this, if God knew I was going to be atheist because he apparently knows everything, then why did he create my soul in the first place? To watch me burn in hell? Sorry but this religion thing just doesn't make sense.

No, the idea that there is a hell is an opinion not a fact. I've never seen any evidence to tell me there is a hell, I'm going off of what, your word. How reliable is that to me?

prove this place called hell exists
btw if you say something is a threat then thats a scare tatic
why do you worship something that allows billions of people to be tortured every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year FOR ALL ETERNITY. Sick, sick, sick. You make it sound that fear is what keeps you worshipping

it's your reality, apparently. it's great if you don't think it should be used as a scare tactic. are you trying to convince atheists of the reality of hell here? i don't see why you think that a naked assertion would further that goal.

No, John, I do not agree. Hell is not an idle threat because Hell (and Heaven) is a fantasy, it does not exist.
