He's neither taking delight in the description nor giving it in a psychopathic manner.

I disagree entirely.

Well, if you simply didn't understand, I apologize for my remark. It did appear, however, that you were taking the piss, as the English say.

The touché was agreeing that it is atheists that tend to drone on about hell here, but that was irrelevant to my point, which was that Christians seem to be unconcerned with the effect that telling people they're going to hell has.

What specific wording indicates delight and psychopathy in your opinion?

My point is that around here Christians aren't the ones bringing up hell.

I'll add that, even if we were saying you were going to hell all the time, I wouldn't be concerned about the effect, as I'm not affected by the thought of other religions' hells. If I don't believe it's real, I'm not affected by it.

Typical, ignorant Christian needing an atheist to explain what's written in his/her own special rule book.

16 and 36 specifically require belief in Christ for salvation. Not doing so invites the wrath of God and the non-believer will perish. You have to ignore this to claim that non-believers will be saved

You call me ignorant, its you who has not a clue ! I gave the verse allready, 1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reprouch, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, S-P-E-C-I-A-L-L-Y O-F T-H-O-S-E T-H-AT B-E-L-I-E-V-E
it is very clear to me that non-believers are included in the ALL MEN and will be saved, the special ones are the first fruits otherwise known as the elect, the verses you gave, speak of the second death as all men are destined to die once, etc etc the verses have absolutely nothing to do with an eternal punishment in hell. I suggest before you assume something, try asking,

This entire part.

Which is irrelevant to my point that Christians seem unaffected by the consequences of preaching hellfire.

It's not the threat behind the statement that is insulting. Just as you said, it's hard to be bothered by places you believe to be imaginary. No, the insult comes with the implied sentiment behind the statement, namely that non-believers deserve to be punished.

Come on! What kind of well read Christian doesn't know about the doctrine (not sect) of universalism? But Cato is correct. John 3:16 is a valid proof-text against universalism.

RE: Poor Fundies.....Hell is A Literary Construct, Too!
Oh really, first you have not a clue what the Gospel is, as you follow the doctrins of a man, who believed Jesus was His own Father ! secondly I am not a Universalist, and have not studied there doctrins, therefore do not know how these verses fit into "their grasp" of Gods salvation plan, so how am I suposed to comment honestly, Now you can not give me one scripture that says God will not save all men, can you no you cant, as for John 3:16 is clearly speaking of believers who will not perish, aposed to non-believers who shall face the second death, as all men are destined to die once, its this second death that we believers are warned about etc etc so if you want to debate weather God is to save all men, give me one verse where it says that NOT ALL MEN WILL BE SAVED !

Your opinion is yours, although I suspect you're being disingenuous to call this psychopathic, and I see nothing that indicates his taking delight in it.

Hold it, this effect you're talking about is an implied insult? That's it? Christians get direct insults here every day. You don't seem concerned about it.

To be frank, you're really coming across as a pussy with this argument.
