don't take it personal um. i am just chatting as you are opining sir. i have no problem listening to your point of view even though they may be anti my belief. and even though you may nor admit it you are preaching to me. We all do it.

I am sorry, but i don't live in western society, i live on earth. yes my locale is the west but don't pencil me in as anything, you may be surprised if you could see the truth. yes I am a christian, firmly rooted and grounded in the Truth of the Word of God. That may be offensive to many but that is not my problem. I am not walking around condemning anyone. Certainly the bible does give some harsh consequences, but if you are atheist or of some other concern what does it matter you would think. I am not concerned about what the god of railroad cross tires will do to me.

would i like to see that practioner of said religion brought into the 'marvelous light' most assuridly. i am obligated to share with him or her if the possibility presents itself and not necessarily in a condemning spirit.

Like God I would love to see all men saved, but down through time men have made other choices and will unfortunately continue to do so.

i am curious myself um about the word hell not being in the bible.

ummmm...try around 54 times. 31 old testament and 23 in the new.

check out Revelation 20:13 & 14. did you know that hell is not the unbelievers final destination? it is a lake....
