So Shavixmir is going to hell, eh?
How much distasteful, credulous, metaphysical absurdity can you fundamentalist nutters swallow?
Look, life is tough. Maybe, in some way we don't understand, it all makes sense in some ineffable metaphysical realm. But where do you guys get off insulting others by confidently declaring they are going to hell, sta ...[text shortened]... hold your beliefs. So acquire some bloody modesty and fellow-feeling, you psychopathic lunatics!
Christians, that means that their god (notice I put it in lower case)
is condemning 5/6 th of the human race to go to hell. Hmm, what
a nice god. Gee, I think I will convert today.....

So that's 2/3 of humanity "condemned"...

Edit: I Tim 2:3-4 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our savior. 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Rom. 14:11 It is written: `As surely as I live,' says the Lord, `every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.'

Well, Chance, I think we probably disagree profoundly across-the-board on the whole religious question—especially since I am no longer a Christian, so I don’t share your beliefs about salvation, for instance, or that the Bible is the “word of God.” I’m not trying to buy my way anywhere; then again, I’m not big on the “eat, drink and merry” thing either—age perhaps… 🙂
Since when, Vistesd ?

You are the one "trying to make the tent bigger". You're the author of this enlargement. I'm also sure you changed the criteria to get in ..... 😛
Do they handle serpents in the Netherlands or has the Catholic church run them all out?

So if somebody accepts God they go straight to Heaven with no delay. If somebody rejects God they wait until the day of judgment. Is this correct?
Assuming that this is what you believe, what happens to the unbelievers while they wait for the day of judgment?
1Thes 4:16-17
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
(NKJ)
The unbeliever will be raised at the Judgement...only to die again in the Lake of Fire.
Rev 20:12-15
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
