Thoughts on Hell?

[Astreja]

To bad you had to spend so much of your time looking all that stuff up because I have no children. If I did I would as I have with myself given them a book that shows the different religions compared to Christianity.

Let me guess -- A book about other religions, from a Christian author?  No.  I prefer to get the information from the source, so that it will reflect the actual beliefs and practices of a religion rather than an outsider perspective.

Children are vulnerable and should be protected from those things that can harm them, you and I see a total difference in what is harmful to children.

That's precisely why I would never expose a child to a hell-threatening religion.  I know people who are still struggling with PTSD many decades after receiving that kind of abuse from parents or church personnel.

Jesus told His disciples when they tried to keep children from coming to Him, it would be better for a parent to tie a millstone around his neck than to keep the children from me. Not taking your child to church and thus indoctrinating her against Christianity is exactly what Christ was telling His disciples.  She most likely will never seek out God because of you and God will, even though you do not believe. hold you responsible.

No, I never said a word to her either for or  against Christianity when she was a child (although as adults we occasionally share an eye-roll when dealing with nonsense like the late Harold Camping's failed end-times predictions).

If anyone has a millstone around her neck, it's the grade 5 girl who called my daughter a "devil child" when she found out my daughter wasn't a Christian.  Without batting an eye my daughter responded "No, that should be 'demon child'" and terminated their friendship on the spot.

Hell is your highway you're zooming down and I promise you will find it extremely terrible.

I do not find your "promise" credible.  For that matter, I don't find you credible.  This, however, I rather enjoy:
