Have you murdered anyone? If not, there is no other crime that deserves death. Especially thought crimes.

Do YOU believe we deserve to go to hell?
As an analogy, is there anything your children could do, that would cause you to build a torture chamber and torture them for the rest of their lives?
Quote:You have it backwards. Atheism supports 'might makes right.' Following God is right because He is the source of everything good.
Atheism does not support might makes right. I hope you're not talking about Stalin or Pol Pot, or some such rubbish.
Is god the source for good because he says so, or is he the source of good because it is inherently good?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
