Proselytizing

[rjh4 is back]

"You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me." (one of the Ten Commandments, as found on Wikipedia).

"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." (Jn.3:36)

"But the cowardly, unbelieving.... and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." (Rev.21:8)

Why not quote some of the ones talking about God's love? Too many? (No need to really respond to the questions as they are intended as friendly pokes.) I know the consequences are there but so is the positive.

And yes, Christians do use scare tactics, and it's annoying. You don't want me telling you that half of your life is going to be wasted believing, worshiping, and praying to an invisible sky god, and I don't want you telling me I'm going to burn in an imaginary place because I don't agree with you. (The you isn't you [rjh4] specifically, just a way getting my point across).

I understand. As I said before, I do not think it appropriate nor do I try to use such scare tactics.
