I live my life as Paul gave the example, I'm the least among you. I really do not care if you believe this or not, God knows and that's all that matters.

This is why I believe that frightening children and vulnerable adults with tales of hell should be a felony worldwide, punishable with prison time.
Funny I believe the same about evolution. Indoctrination by any sort is not a good way, let lone fear. Indoctrination means there's something to sale (yes there are Christians who sale Christianity and I do not agree with there tactics), Christianity is not for sale, period.

Funny...indoctrination is the same as education to the close-minded. Explains a lot.

The evil one does is always infinite unless it is forgiven through the acceptance of Christ as savior. The evil done is first and foremost against God and unless He through Christ's sacrifice and His grace forgives one of all those evils then hell is the result. Sorry but that is the way God planned it and no one can change God's eternal plan. So both are justified, the reward is a gift and the punishment is one's choice.
So Christ isn't god?
He creates evil, plans for it to be unavoidable, says it's a infinite slap in the face to him, and so punishes for eternity.
THIS is something worth worshiping?!

Here's your response, that's just you telling me a story what would make me believe such stuff. You need to tell me what it will take for you to believe and my response will be take it to God for He is the only one who can save you.

Why should we believe that god has talked to you? Would you believe any other deity talks to anyone else? No.
And you know what, not believing, but accepting, the existence of god would take. It's put out there in almost every post. Objective, falsifiable evidence, independent of the bible. You know it doesn't exist, so why do you think we'd all of a sudden decide it's all true?
