A real religion will convert people by being nice, beautiful, wonderful people with warm hearts and kind words for everyone. Then, naturally, people will want to know their religious beliefs, and then follow them. A cowardly religion will convert people by focusing mainly on the fear of hell as a philosophical tenet, and then bully people into adopting the religion using fear of hell.
We'll assume for the moment that your judgment of real vs. cowardly religions is correct. The next step is to show the Bible is a bully. What verses link a man's salvation to his knowledge of hell? Once a man knows about hell, is there something he can do to make sure he enters heaven?
