You must miss a lot of my posts. I reprimand AND give high-fives.

One who doesn't get their nose out of the Bible is doomed to be reeking of the spiritual rot they will try to pass on to the people they refuse to learn from.

Those "bad" people (atheists, agnostics, and others) prevent powerful religions from acting on their theocratic pretensions. It allows people to choose among a wider range of worldviews. In parallel fashion, it seems obvious that the resurgence of religion in the world is not everywhere and always a good thing.

If one won't ever question their faith--and they never have any doubts--they are as far from the truth than the most hardened atheist.

And Jesus said to him, "'If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes." Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe; help my unbelief.
Mark 9:23-24

If one has no doubts, they have not yet reached the point that Christ can help them. They've just become a modern day Pharisee.

When you resort to name-calling, I'm done.

And yet, somehow it's okay for you to tell others that they are going to Hell because of their differing interpretation of the Bible.

What a hypocrite.

Can Christians go to Heaven?

Yes, but only if they convert to Islam.
