Far too many "Christians" joyfully inform people outside their particular brand of dogma that they are going to hell. Odd that these same people cannot tell which members of their own families will or will not go to heaven. Why so judgemental? Why so hypocritical about it? Perhaps some of the good folks from the Christian community can teach these hypocrites the error of their ways, though I doubt they'd listen. I feel for the faithful members of the religious community who have to be associated with these self-righteous bigots. If a hell really existed, it would end up full to the brim with these people. Your opinions?

For sure if there really was a hell, it would be full of hypocritical, judgmental Christians.
some days that thought makes me want to believe it exists.

St Peter was once given the keys to the gates of heaven, Jesus mentioned "No one will get to the daddy besides by way of me". Pope Urban II who had a partial potential approximately the Crusades and determined to ship the clergy to a conflict was once no longer rather striking ahead a peace loving message that might and might for that reason simply be advertising properganda. By main a resistance in opposition to an military that was once a lot more expert and deciplined, did he reap what he got down to do, was once the military built of bullies who ganged up on folks, of direction the solutions are the crusades got here to a end and in keeping with that movie "The Kingdom of Heaven" Saladine places the Christian move at the desk on the finish to simbolise that he accepts the religion. But from this quation I realize that the crusades was once Christians combating Christians.

This Christian cares whether or not people go to heaven or hell. It is a personal choice and unless they share their decision, no mortal knows for sure.
Christians are always being called judgmental, self-righteous bigots, and hypocritical. Why? Christians are not perfect, just forgiven. Our struggle with sin is moment to moment; we have Jesus who died for our sins.
Hell does exist and I for one don't want to visit. I guess I don't want you to either.
I guess in a black and white world such as text, it is hard to accurately animate ones emotions.

If there is a hell I have a feeling I am going to have to fight my way through the throngs of the Self-righteous to find the rest of my evil Atheist friends who are supposed to be there with me

This is a really fantastic joke:
A Pagan died and, much to her surprise, found herself at the Pearly Gates facing St. Peter. He walked up to her and said, "Hello, and welcome."
She stared at St. Peter in complete confusion. "Wait a minute," she said. "I was supposed to end up in the Summerlands."
He smiled. "Ah, you must be one of our Pagan sisters. Follow me, please."
Peter gestured for her to follow him down a small path which went through the gates and down a bit to the left. They walked for a short while, then he stepped back and gestured her forward. Looking past his hand, she saw the verdant fields and forests of her desired Summerlands. She saw people feasting, dancing, and making merry, exactly as she expected. While shaking her head in wonder, the Pagan happened to glance over to one side and saw a small group of people a short way away from the edge of the Summerlands. The people in the group were watching the revelers, but not joining them. Instead, they were screaming and weeping piteously.
The Pagan looked at St. Peter. "Who are those people?"
St. Peter replied, "Them? They're fundamentalists. They're a bit surprised to see you all there, so they stand there and carry on like that all day."
"Why? Don't they have better things to do?"
Peter leaned conspiratorially toward her. "They don't really have a choice. They're actually in Hell. God doesn't like being told what He thinks."

I agree with you 100% about those Christians who seem to take delight in telling people that they are condemned to hell. Not one person is condemned until his life is over. Everyone who has accepted Christ is assured of heaven as long as they continue in their faith and everyone who does not believe always has the option to believe until they die. True, many who continually reject God after a long enough time have no hope of accepting him, but that is their responsibility not the responsibility of us believers.

We cannot choose where one goes. But sometimes one gives clues to others that they actually want to go hell rather than in heaven.

The Bible identifies those that are real and those that are fake. You will always find the atheists on the side of the fakes. Always.
The only way to be saved is to believe that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose again.

"I can tell the diff. Those who believe in HIM and confess and those who dont! "
What about people who believe and confess, but have murdered somebody? What about aborted fetuses or children killed before they are old enough to understand and believe? What about those who believe "just in case"?
