Actually I'm not trying to leverage anything, I'm stating what the Bible says and what I know to be the truth even if you do not.

You can rationalize your threats anyway you wish. You are not the first theist to point out the suffering of others as evidence for your irrational world view. For thousands of years people like you actually took the role of god as torturer into their own hands. If it were not for the rise of reason into our culture christians would be torturing witches and heretics in the public square today. At least now all you have is the random events of aging and sickness from which to draw your scary visions from. I know I will sicken and die. Perhaps as an old man , perhaps as we speak. I am free from the troubling thoughts which would add suffering on top of suffering. Your church sounds like it might be like visiting a Halloween Haunted House. Full of haunted people and imaginary ghosts. Tremble away , man!
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
