A lot of them are quick to "warn" me about my fate. It's hilarious, I'm no more scared of their scriptures than I am of the 2012 prediction of the world's end. I remember this drunk woman once told me she was a which and that I better watch out. She got so angry when I laughed, to me it's about the same thing.

I know you think it's because you care, or that's what a lot of them might tell themselves later. I always receive these "warnings" after I post something that's not PC. They feel offended or belittled, so they throw back these "warnings" at me. They become defensive. It's not concern, it's out of anger.

Christians are really just doing their priest's dirty work. Hell is just a scare tactic used by popes to draw in more customers. Christians do not realize they are being used by the church.....sad but true. I really do pity those Christians and their victims.

I don't get the rationalization, that warning you, usually in an intimidating you, is because they give a crap about you.
I've heard plenty of crazy warnings like how if you masturbate too much, your penis falls off; if you have sex at all before you're married, you'll end up in a trailer with no husband and 2 crying babies
I heavily doubt every warning is out of care for the other person. It gives the person a temporary sense of power to condemn (one of the reasons why people love to do so for every reason imaginable), and reinforces their own beliefs, which gives them a sense of security

You obviously are standing in America where the law protect you. Go to the Muslim world and publicly wear western clothes and start laughing it up at the believers, funny boy. No law will protect you

I can't believe a person who believes in the natural selection process would honestly ask the question since your whole religion is based on surviving the pecking order.
The real question is: "Why a person would so vigorously defend the idea that all of life is no more than building a sand castle in front of the tide of time?" I mean, if your answer was true, then you can only be right as long as you have power to cram your beliefs down others throats....and when you quit cramming, life goes back to its natural state of having no meaning or purpose as we were all made with no purpose in mind.

Does a Christian warn you because they care about your fate? Yes. If they didn't care about you and your well being, they wouldn't say anything to you about God and your eternal fate. It isn't something to degrade you as a person. It's meant to aid you. Why complain when someone offers you aid?

I don't think that I have ever threatened anybody. In fact I am a fairly new Christian. I wouldn't tell somebody to scare them, but I would tell them because I love everybody and I don't want to see them get hurt by the lures of the enemy.

Maintaining a dogma is so much work. Every time someone voices an opinion to the contrary you have to try and stifle them as best you can.

The anger of a drunk witch can scarcely be compared to the wrath of God.

Fear is all that is left when the Spirit of God has been lost... This kind of strategy comes up when the benefits of real Spiritual life have left the congregation.
The Spirit of God has to be demonstrated in a BETTER LIFE. That's all there is to it.

Don't mess with witches... I've got bad experiences like you wouldn't believe... This one time I told a witch that a dress made her butt look big (which it did)... and BOOM next thing I know, I was all wet.
Which reminds me, you also shouldn't imply your gf looks fat when she's washing die out of her hair at the sink..... witches are evil! (and cute... in case she reads this)

How do you think Christianity got so BIG? Threats and bribery! It's not because it's the ONE TRUE FAITH or anything like that...it just scares people $hitless.
Gullible people, that is.
