Book of Acts: Pure Fantasy

On the other hand. What if you're wrong? Haven't you pretty much just decided that the religion you happened to have grown up in was the right one? You may have personal reasons for choosing Christianity which you think go beyond the fact of your growing up in it, but are those reasons of yours if spoken by someone of another faith anything that would dissuade you from Christianity? Probably not. I'll never understand your need to enlist the world to your belief system.

I grew up in a secular home actually, without religion. I came to my faith much later in life. I investigated many of the religions and belief systems of this world, but I was led to Christianity. The reason I tell others to repent and accept the gospel is because that is what God commanded me to do. I also do it because I care about what happens to you, and I can sympathize because I used to be a skeptic.

Idiotic analogy.
You know you will be bumped if you walk into traffic. Common sense! However, there is no evidence of burning in hell if you choose to ignore your imaginary friend. Show us the evidence if you want to put forward a counter claim!

It's funny that I have one person complaining hell is too coercive and another complaining it isn't coercive enough.

I put forward the evidence of your god given conscience which knows deep down it has transgressed Gods laws, based on the evidence of the guilt you feel for your sins.

I think Penn Jillette gets it:
