you rejected it and died, would your death be because you drowned
or that you rejected the life preserver?

Do you think I really want to go to Hell ,and I'm not becoming a Christian because of some sick need for punishment ? Explain please.

Why is that?
There's not much to imagine. You're going to drop dead.
Originally posted by TerrierJackJack Chick is a truly evil, nasty and malicious person. He makes bigoted and paranoid statements that Catholics are taking over the world and that the Jesuits are infiltrating churches. The rests of his cartoons are practically about scaring children with images of devils and hellfire.
Why? Because he thinks the same about you? He claims however to believe about the same things as you (from my perspective) so if his beliefs warrant hell then why shouldn't yours?
Originally posted by TerrierJackIf you are drowning, it pretty much does not matter what you are
If you see no boat, no life preserver and no water to drown in then can you just announce that you are holding the life preserver. Will that lie will be sufficient to save you?
saying to yourself if you end up dying now does it?

Originally posted by daniel58Stupid comes from both sides of the fense. Actually we are all pretty stupid when it comes anything spiritual. Not enough to go on in the way of concrete facts. Speculation rules the day when it comes to spiritual matters, and that can lead to all kinds of stupid thinking, and some brillant concepts. Flip a coin to decide who has the right idea. I myself know nothing.
They don't a lot of the time, they only ask more stupid questions.
