Not believing in something isn't the same as that thing's nonexistence. I don't believe in god but I can't say god doesn't exist.

Aren't you getting prepared...in case one of the other religions is the right one?

Forget a loving God not sending people to Hell...even the most cruel, evil God wouldn't do that.

Of all the messed up things organized religion ever came up with...Hell has to be the most messed up of all. I still wonder how anyone would ever hear about Hell...and say to themselves..."Yeah, that sounds about how a "all loving" God would do his children".
Yep. I jumped the gun, too. I can only say that such sentiments are not unknown in absolute seriousness, and it's not always clear at the outset what believers really believe as they very often play their cards very close to the chest...or whatever they've got.

Loved that. There was a list of 'Internet chat types' I once saw but lost the URL a long time ago. However I don't think Gldrush is a Troll just a theist who finds that shoving poison Ivy down the shorts easier than marshalling some sensible arguments.

Even she (I thought it was a She?) doesn't think really Hell is feasible so there's hope.

If I told you something and you did not believe me and I told you your legs would be broken if you did not start believing me… you could literally take a case against me for intimidation, threatening behaviour and so on.

Yet people are allowed walk around and threaten eternal torture if you do not accept their views and no one has touched them yet.

Maybe it really is time we consider applying our laws equally, rather than letting some groups do what they like.
