God says “Love me or die”

[Zen Badger]

God gave the gift of life. Like a construction worker building a road with many off-shoots, He forged the world. What road and what off-shoot you take, then, is entirely up to you. James chose to stay on the road, instead of crashing his car into the ditch beside the road.

Get it?

I'm sorry, I thought you were giving me examples of god manifesting himself.

And define 'sinner' for me. As I said, if you choose to sin that's up to you, but you're the one making your life a living Hell in doing so, not God. When you die, all you have to look forward to, then, is what you've done to yourself. The worst form of punishment is knowing it's all your fault.

But you just said that if I don't choose to go to hell then I won't.

Make up your mind.
