Today, I went to my girlfriends house. Her cousin was there too. He brought up the area of the bible that mentions the rapture and said non-believers will stay here and believers will be raptured. He wasn't actually trying to threaten me with eternal damnation or whatever though (he's not really all that religious himself), he just wanted to know what I think of those areas of the bible.

I responded:

"To me, it's just fear mongering. The people who say these things are actually presenting an argument from intimidation fallacy by saying you either need to believe this, or this will happen to you."

Since he brought it up earlier, it made me think of the religious nutjobs who say that we're gonna burn in hell for lacking a belief in a God(s), and so I decided I wanted to talk about this. How do you guys handle religious people who threaten you with eternal agony in a pit of lava if you don't convert?

No one can threaten you with hell, they haven't the authority and when most Christians tell you if you do not believe you'll go to hell, their concerned for you. Would you rather them say to you screw of i'm glad you want be in heaven with me, that make you fell better.

Truth is you do not have proof you want go to hell if you continue to disbelieve and you will not till you die. Funny thing about death one never knows when it will come. Three good teenagers were killed in a car wreck in my area this weekend, just an accident nothing more, yet their dead and only one had graduated high school. Have no idea if any of them were Christians.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
