Don't you know that by rejecting/ denying him we condemn ourselves to to eternal lake of fire? Please for the love of God repent, i don't want anyone to go there.

I tried for many years to 'accept' a god. Many many many years. I even read the bible, had study groups, etc...

The whole time my own heart was telling me "this isn't IT."

My heart was right it turns out. I lean on Love today, not gods and not religions. The entity in the bible known as 'god' is NOT Love, but a very poor imitation. You may want to ask yourself why 'you' have chosen to worship a god that is the creator of all evil? Isaiah 45;7 will tell you this.

Been there, done that. Good luck to you though!

Because they are in rebellion against God.

Which god?

I accept there is a God. I do not accept the Christian view of god. My God is the God of all things. Your god is the god of small things (such as judging who should go to someplace called Hell, for example). My God needs no love, no worship and desires nothing from people (why should it?).

Because we are no longer little children, we no longer like to play pretend with childish fairies.

I appreciate your concern, but it is moot. First you have to show that your god even exists, and that it wants to torture people forever for simply not believing in it (which seems rather strange for a supposedly all-powerful and all-loving god).

There's no reliable evidence for God/Yahweh, Jesus, Allah, Zeus, Thor, or any of the thousands of other gods that people have worshiped. There's also extensive evidence that they are all just myths, created to help soothe our fear of death, and perpetuated through religion to subjugate the underclass into obedience.

Science has shown that there's no need for gods to explain the traditional reasons for a god -- origin of the universe, origin of life, origin of species, origin of humans, origin of morality. Science also shows us the psychological reasons that people believe in god(s).

"The infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists ? that is why they invented hell."
? Bertrand Russell
