Only Christianity has a punishment for not serving God, and therefore it must be man-made (I'd like an explanation for that leap). You would then proceed to provide other, unrelated reasons why Judaism and Islam are man-made--making the criteria for insanity different for each religion.Let me put your mind at ease. All three Abrahamic religions are full of shit (this includes any sectarian schisms you think are important). Was this not understood? Or can I take your reply as a polite invocation of the christian persecution complex?

They use it because they believe its the truth. If a tidal wave is coming to wipe out New York and you knew about it, wouldn't you tell every New Yorker you find?
If you think christians don't use hell as a marketing tactic, you don't know many christians (Oh I know, insert True Christian definition here). Perhaps you can answer a question that has perplexed every man of the cloth I posed it to.
Why would the devil punish me for eternity for breaking the same rules that made him the devil in the first place?
