He's given you (as well as all other human beings) volition and rational capacity for thought. And, importantly, He's too much of a gentleman not to respect your uncoerced free-will choice. As long as you're still alive you have the option of changing your mind about Christ, the revealed member of the trinity. If you decide to believe in (place your confidence in) Christ you have eternal life. You will share an eternal life with God. You will live with Him forever in heaven. Faith alone in Christ alone is salvation! It's a matter of life & death. The choice is yours.
That God will only send to heaven the people who have the balls to reject jesus christ as savior. And will send to hell the feeble minded who do accept jesus christ as savior?

From pompous religionist pontification, perhaps.

Here it is again:
Steve spoke to me in a dream and told me all believers go to hell.
Only the Atheists will be saved.

Obviously the Atheists are saved from Hell.
Steve sends all believers to Hell regardless of the flavour of their theism.

Only one significant issue: your personal address for eternity.
Prove to me that that soul goes to some afterlife.
Prove to me that there is a being or beings who decide what that afterlife is like.
Prove to me that there is an afterlife I would actually like to go to. (I have not heard a description of heaven
from anyone that is even remotely more appealing than the descriptions of hell I have heard/can imagine.)
Prove to me that you know what that being or those beings want as payment to send me to this afterlife I might
actually like.
THEN I'll give a damn.
The current evidence indicates extremely strongly that.
There are no such things as souls.
There is no afterlife of any kind.
There are consequently no beings that determine what that afterlife is like.
And finally even if all that wasn't true there is no evidence that if we have souls, there is an afterlife that would be appealing,
and that there are beings who decide on who goes there.
There is nobody who can reasonably claim to know that those beings exist, or what they want.
There is no evidence or reason to suppose that even if there are gods and afterlives that any present day religion is correct.
Originally posted by stellspalfieall need to be thought love and compassion. it is called parenting. later on it is called a moral system. religious belief is simply a part of that moral system for some people. other people do not need it and get just from other sources the same things i get from jesus (and those other sources)
do you need somebody to teach you how to love and show compassion?
