@sonship saidThis answer brings us back nicely to the OP question.
It will be evident to most on earth during the great tribulation that God's wrath is being displayed.
Why isn't this supposed wrath of God "displayed" to non-believers while they are still alive in order that they might avoid "suffering throughout eternity" and, instead, obey Jesus' commandments as believers during their lives?

@sonship saidYou are talking here about you praying to expedite my death? In order to what...? Provide evidence that your torturer god ideology is correct?
Would you like me to bring up your name in a prayer meeting for God to expedite your death so that you may see first hand if there is divine judgment in wrath ?
You had a chance to discuss "Fear of Death" with me here Thread 179090.
@sonship saidAsking me if I want you to pray for me to die quickly is more about the wrath in your heart, I think, and not about any wrath there may be in the "heart" of a supernatural being that you just so happen to believe exists.
@FMF
I don't want to "nicely" or otherwise fuel your prejudice that only God's wrath is the contents of His heart.

@sonship saidIf you want to start a thread on the fear of death that humans feel and their various ways of dealing with it, whether that be through religion or through non-religious means, then I'd be happy to contribute.
It will be evident to most on earth during the great tribulation that God's wrath is being displayed. Are you anxious to know. Should we petition God that He speed up things for you personally ?

@philokalia saidMy posts about homosexuality here have been mainly about the benefits of treating them as human beings, instead of how most Christians like to treat them. Jesus himself went among the 'sinners' not to berate them, but to get them to reject their sins. Getting people to hate you is not the way to get them to follow your religion.
Well, there's plenty of room for disagreement on a variety of things because there are ways to interpret the Bible...
But someone who affirms a homosexual lifestyle is actively countering both the old and new testament. It is a sin.
Likewise, if someone denies the Trinity, they have also fallen into heresy.

@suzianne saidHow do you go about getting your homosexual friends to "reject their sins", or, specifically, in their case, to stop engaging in homosexual sex?

@sonship.
Praying to speed up the death people. Is that what you were asking about ?
What’s the matter with you.
