Let's hope next time you grace us with your presence, your high horse upon which you ride is a tiny bit shorter.
Atheists don't respond to threats of hell because they don't believe in it. That's like saying "I'm going to shoot you with this gun", but you don't see a gun in my hand. I just present what I believe to be the truth and leave the rest to God. We're not here to make people believe. We're here to spread the word. As for me, I'm also here to hear other opinions. This forum has changed the way I perceive others and also my perception of the way christians present themselves in our society. My outlook has changed quite a bit in the last six months, thanks to this forum.
