I can't believe. (moral, hell, bible, point of view, faith)

I simply can't place faith in a higher power because I have no way of being entirely sure that there is a god, divine entity, whatever. Yet certain religions are fit to condemn me to a hell because of this. I guess I'm ranting but I just wanted to hear some input.

Ok, first off, your Salvation has nothing to do with what other humans tell you, or despicable behavior on their part. It is not between you, & them at all.

Your Salvation simply boils down to this: Will you *Accept* GOD/Jesus Christ as your own personal Savior, with
all its attendant Blessings, too numerous to mention in a single post here.

What if I can't? Do I go to Hell?

What kind of a Yes Man are you?

Seriously, why be offended about being told that you going to a place you don't believe in anyway. Even tho I'm a theist, I've been told that I'm going to hell for not believing in the right kind of God. I just laugh. It's like being shot at by an empty water pistol. I suppose you could take offense that someone even pointed it at you, but it has no real power to hurt you other than the power you give it.

"can not" - means no choice. However, GOD created you to *choose*.

You can *choose* to go to Heaven, as GOD/Jesus Christ invites you.
or
You can *choose* to go to hell. Both are your choice.

Choose well this day whom ye will serve. As for me, & my household, we will serve GOD/Jesus Christ.

creating meaningless threats to my (after)life to reinfore your own religion is just sad
its like pointing a water gun saying that if you don't believe in pink elephants then i will pretend to shoot you
