[color=purple]Speak for yourself.  I know.

That's very small minded. You do not know. You accept the way the Divine Entity has revealed himself to your culture. To blindly say that Christianity is the only way to the Divine Entity is a little ignorant.

Here is how I heard it. God gives you plenty of chances to believe him and accept him in your life. If you continue to reject him you go to hell.

Which says to me all non-Christians go to hell.

Again,  a very unaccepting comment. The Divine Entity reveals Itself to the people of the Earth in ways they can understand. Christianity is one of these routes.

They're just saying if you don't believe in God, you get a "Go to Hell" card, like on Monopoly.  But that's if Christians are right, which is to say no one can say for absoluteness who is right where, which is why I laugh at all religious beliefs.  Everyone says they're right, but they don't know that for absolute certainty.  It's an impossibility to prove, so it's a useless thing.

I think it's in the book of galatians it says "every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus christ is lord"  That means everyone, no exceptions, will have to say that jesus christ is lord.  The only drawback is that either you accept it here on earth, or you will be forced on judgement day.  In the bible (not sure where) it says that "the God of israel is a jelous God"  hence the second commandment "There shall be no other god's before me"  Hell was not supposed to be created but when Lucifer (satan) sinned while in heaven he was cast down into hell along with 1/3 of all the angels in heaven.  If you want to know more about the story then please message me or something.  I'm a precher's kid and i plan on majoring in ministry, so i know my stuff.   :)

In my opinion, hell is just an idea that acts as a threat so people will act morally.

I think it is an unreasonable idea to ask that everyone acepts jesus christ as their lord, as so many people believe so many different things.

If god is our creator and can grant forgiveness, why can't he accept that all people will have their own beleifs or non-beliefs??

Like I keep saying the bible was written by men not god therefore it has flaws. We don't know what they are but they exist. If god herself had written it it would be perfect. Honestly I don't believe in hell. I think its just there to scare us into being good. Have you ever been raped or have a loved one murdered? Being raped is one of the worest things that could ever happen to a women. If you have ever been raped you would want that rapist to suffer because you will have that memory of what happened to you with you forever.  But those who commit suicide shouldn't be condemed because they want to go to heaven because they can't handle earth. i know god has a plan written for us all but is that really in it? is rape and murder and suicide really there? Maybe she isn't a great god. Maybe this is hell!

I liked the way you think god might be a girl, but from the way you write its seems you are sure god is a woman.

i dont think it matters what religion you are. if u sin u have to be punished. in a way whenevr u sin u r punishing some1 else (eg.stealing makes the shopkeeper lose well earned money) and God is showing u what that feels like. its not till you are truly sorry that u can leave hell. i do not believe that you are stuck there for eternity!

God could be female.  Of course, seeing a female with Santa Claus outfits on would be scary too.

I don't know that god is a women but think about it. God made human race. If god was a man why wouldn't she give men the ability to give life to humans. Women do all the work in the creation. So men create sperm woo hoo. But women do the important part. We care the babys for 9 months. We give birth. No offense men pass out when we have children. You just need to look at the bible more closely. And the people who wrote about God were of course MEN so the made God a he. We don't know what God really is but just look at the facts!!!
