You have evidently failed to either read or understand any of the hundred or so posts in which I
explain exactly what the problem is.
First, it's a threat because YOU [and/or whoever is making the threat] believes it to be true.
Regardless of whether it's actually true, or I/we believe it.
Second, Many atheists are deconverted theists [many ex-C ...[text shortened]... onally are threatening me.
The fact that I know the threat is empty doesn't change that fact.
We would not be Christian if we left you to face your end without our warning. There IS still time to turn back now. That you simply choose not to believe us doesn't change the gravitas of our commission to help our fellow man, our neighbors, to escape what we know awaits them.
"First, it's a threat because YOU [and/or whoever is making the threat] believes it to be true. Regardless of whether it's actually true, or I/we believe it."
Beyond your circular reasoning that "It's a threat because it's a threat", I'm not sure how this works exactly. Since when is a warning a "threat"? I mean, I suppose it could be, if you're that insecure in your belief that it is not true. It almost seems like you're willing to drive off that bridge up ahead just because you don't want us to be right, and not driving fast because you know the bridge is not out.
