Well the Bible is 66 different books, written by 40 or so people, over a period around 1500 years. I trust it when looking at the history of the world.
People make up a lot of things on a lot of topics, it is what we do!

so full of hate and fear. My people believe if we do evil we go to Hell, my people believe
we have to treat those that hate us, as well as those that love us. Your twisted view about
others shows more of a danger to others than mine.
Originally posted by KellyJaySurely, KellyJay, you - and your "people" - believe that the "evil" things you have done and will do are "forgiven" and that you are "saved" and that you will not go to "Hell". Or has your ideology changed?
My people believe if we do evil we go to Hell....

Some christians are included, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_terrorism, most are not.
It is when twisted religious fantasies legitimize murders I object strongly. Don't you?

Originally posted by KellyJaySorry, that was not what I meant. I blame my lacking skills in the english language. It's not my native language, you know.

You probable know I avoid personal attacks as far as it is possible. I rather be a friend with people than an enemy.
Perhaps I should write:
"It is when, one convert these fantasies into a religion, and one kill people in the name of this religion, things become dangerous."

The following passages lead me to lean towards the expectation that in eternal punishment there MAY indeed be different levels of punishment. And what is graphically described in Revelation 14 may be the worst.
(I am not too dogmatic about it ) .
Matthew 10:15
New American Standard Bible
"Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
King James Bible
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Matthew 11:24
American Standard Version
But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Douay-Rheims Bible
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Darby Bible Translation
But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for [the] land of Sodom in judgment-day than for thee.
Ask the Lord Jesus to be your Savior. Do not be so curious to be condemned, rejecting Christ, to go and find out for yourself.

-Removed-So you do not count it at all a solemn matter for creatures of God to rebel against Him forever.
The "version" of God I see in the Bible is that the decision as to what happens to those who remain in a sinful unreconciled state before God is God's decision.
And expressions like "pontification" and my "version" you can tout all you want. I am simply conforming what to believe with the words of Scripture.
If your interpretation turns out to be wrong will you protest that you have no desire to spend eternity with such a God ? Will you elect rather to be with Satan in the lake of fire ?
