My only question is, "What if you are wrong?" Are you prepared for the consequences of what hell will be like. You still have time before you die and I pray that you study what the crufication was all about and ask forsalvation. I was 45 years old before seeing the light and have been totally at peace since then. NO stress, worries, etc. You'll need to experience it for yourself.
May God bless and keep you!!
Then suppose, My God, my Master, my Protector and my Lord that I am able to endure Your chastisement
How can I endure separation from You?
And suppose that I am able to endure the heat of Your fire,
How can I endure not gazing upon Your generosity?
-Du'a Kumail taught by Imam Ali.
Why don't you emphasize on separation from the Divine? Why don't you emphasize on missing out on spiritual bliss and state of appreciation?
Why focus on threatening people of pain. It's a petty way of preaching and petty motive to become interested in religion.
