Because if it does then
God just appeared in the kitchen and said everybody has to give me money and if you don't you'l all be sorry when you die
Ok now start sending the above is bullet proof and can not be argued with it is clearly the highest form of reasoning and so start sending before it's too late

Wow it really does pass for reasoning even if no one is going to send money
The threats made by an invisible god who contridicts himself and so forth presents "believe it or you will be sorry" as one of the strengths of his argument
Good to know

Stick around and you'll see it roll by several times a day.
"God just appeared in the kitchen and said everybody has to give me money and if you don't you'll all be sorry when you die "
That is so weird. He just told me that after you collect the money you're supposed to send it to me.

God saying "believe in me or you'll be sorry" is essentially the same as a gang of thugs coming up to you and saying "give me your sh*t or we'll f*ck you up". If this is the kind of God that is really in control of the universe, we're all screwed because this God is obviously incompetent and cruel.

It is hard to convey tone in an email so maybe there is a harsh tone behind those words sometimes but I think not always. Sometimes it is above reasoning, it is true concern. Hope I'm right about that.

It could be that you weren't even adviced about the eternal condemnation all together,but God wants everyone to know so there won't be any excuses. Jesus said he that believes in Me is not condemned but he that does not believe is condemned allready. That my freind is not a threat but a warning, you will have no excuse. Peace!!!

Hi,
Not really. The day they can revive someone who has been really dead, especially after riamortis has set in, then we can accept if "will be sorry" is correct.

You had me until you stopped using punctuation. Then your credibility started to dwindle. Oh well...that's what the 'edit' button is for.
