who cares if I burn in hell

Do you think I have any say what so ever in your salvation?

You have a "say" in standing up for the stuff you believe.

My my - you're just a special little ray of sunshine, aren't you?

FYI - A slightly different belief system would do you a world of good (not to mention an attitude adjustment)

Which is worse -

A) The person who plainly states that they find a certain belief system to be "f'ed up", or

B) The person who very politely tells you that you are destined to suffer forever if you don't believe the same thing they do?

Worse would be believing eternal damnation is a very real possibility and keeping
one's mouth shut about it.

If you are incapable of making eternal torture come across as morally coherent when you talk about it ~ perhaps because your cognition is gripped or set up rather like a cultist ~ then maybe "keeping your mouth shut" about the dogma would be a good idea, and talking about the joys of walking the walk would be better instead, which you almost never do.

If you have a mind that few would wish to emulate, and a message of unrelenting dark misanthropy, why not talk about the good things that belief in Jesus might bring?

Odd you would say that, an eternal danger we all face, the salvation gospel that
God became a man so we could be forgiven, and you want that kept from others.

I agree, I can go to God with my prayers, but here its God's universe, God's laws,
and in the end, God is the final judge. God has set a time, Jesus is going to be our
judge, He laid down His life for us so we could be forgiven for all the wrongs we
have done in God's universe and we can accept, reject, or ignore Him here, but only
here can we do that.

Consider the source of the information available that tells us about the topic. If it
were just a pure opinion out of the blue, sure, but it isn't something I made up
you could read about yourself.

Yes, we will stand before God either saved by Christ through His sacrifice for us or
die in our sins and will answer to the One who tried to save us, by giving His life for
us. If Jesus says depart from Him, He never knew us, there is but one place left in
all creation to go to.

Possibility.

So not a sure thing.

Weigh that against the other possibility that there is no damnation, and what a d-bag you sound like in that case.

Think of the most apocalyptic people from other faiths that you do not believe and remind yourself how silly and ridiculous that sounds to you, and realize you sound exactly as silly and ridiculous to the rest of us.

Then wisely stop with the yammering about the damnation.

The end.
