Wow, Pete. Was that a subtle hell-threat? And then you wonder why you get treated like a hive mind...*sigh*
Not at all. Did not intend for it to come off as a threat, didn't think the mention of hell would be perceived as a threat by a nonbeliever in this context. When I speak with people here about their beliefs or conjecture upon a life after this one I take no offense by those that take the nihilist stance, Muslim hell, or reincarnation, or any view different from mine.
Again, sexual proclivities and such are a sensitive and personal issue. It can be difficult to have opposing views on matters such as this without some taking offense. I didn't intend to offend anyone.
Abaris also made an interesting observation regarding the age of the OP.
