Yes I do
It's violence cloaked in words. It's hate cloaked in a masquerade of love. It's a massive disrespect of the idea that other people can have equally valid beliefs.
It can even be dangerous.

NO. Mainly because if I were a Christian I'd tell them that according to the Bible, only God has that authority. They might think they know the Commandments, but they disregard the fact that it is between you and God, no one else. No one ever told me I'd go to hell, but someone has suggested it once. I just replied saying, "Hey, if I don't believe in Hell, how would it scare me?" It might have been a little hasty, but that was on my mind. The Christian god is so awesome! I wish I believed in him. But as far as threatening others with Hell, that is mean, and unreal, unless you aren't a true Christian.

No, I just tell them Jews don't believe in hell. Then I say "Let's study Torah together." They seldom take me up on the offer.
The problem with demanding a person have the "right" belief system in order to stay out of "hell" is that none of us has the "right" belief system. G-d is infinite, we are finite. The finite cannot encompass the infinite.
Only the infinite can encompass the infinite.

It irritates me because those are the people that are afraid of going to hell themselves, so they think they can distract God from their own glaring sins by pointing judgmental fingers at everyone around them. Those are the same kind of hypocrites that accused all of their neighbors during the Salem witch trials so they wouldn't be accused themselves.

If you actually total all the people said to go to hell. you'd be on a long list. But it'd be okay. I'd have all my friends there. For non-believing and being gay.
And techically non-believers can't go to hell cause they don't believe one exists.

Very... very.. much... to the point that my anger makes me wish I could summon hellfire...
I will never accept a fundie's proclamation that I am doomed to hell for they lack the omnipotence to to do such an act of divine judgement.

It angers me when peolpe are so judgemental.
Just tell them you don't believe in hell, and if they were actually a halfway decent christian they wouldn't be judging you.

No, it doesn't. They are allow to believe in what they want. Furthermore, believing itself does not mean it's the final judgment from GOD. If I am going to hell, I want to make sure the word comes from GOD.

It amused me because it's always been Christians telling me I will go to hell for being a pagan, and they're explicitly going against one of the tenets of their own faith (only Jehovah can judge a soul say the Bible) when they lambast me for mine.
