Scares me. Especially for my loved ones that are not saved. Another scary thought is that I did not do all I could to help them before its too late.

All you have to do is believe in his son and him. Whats so difficult?
Or are you just afraid of losing your argument?

Yeah it is scary. But I believe it is true. God mercifully gave you a choice, so take the right one. Don't waste God's gift to you.
It says in His Word "believe that Jesus died for our sins, got buried, and rose again three days later, and you shall be saved" :)

Yeah it's a shame of that because Satan has some folks minds warped into thinking all kinds of wild stuff so that he can have people suffering with him of those who are not believers.

I think its quite insulting to be of the religion condemning people to hell and then to slight our afterlife as "a scary thought"... But you are right it is scary... However that fear is lifelong and something you come to grips with over time and through different... Now detracting momentarily, i don't think there is any version of eternity that is feasible that isn't scary... You telling me that my afterlife is hell isn't exactly scarier than any other version what i feel is truly scary is the moment that is after the moment you stop thinking about what your thinking about... That moment in life we all go through and we tell ourselves 'its ok its ok its ok' maybe you say eternity is just god;s light, or the devil's fire so you hope you will be in the light because those two ideas seem like logical opposition... However, how is something just good forever or just bad forever... Like life i feel the afterlife will fluctuate... You can disagree but that doesn't mean that you know... It just means your happy which, all cynicism aside, is awesome... I just grow skeptical of your representatives who have potentially thought it out further than you have and have further reaching goals and expectations than chilling with god and his flashlight forever and ever and ever and ever an,,,,,ver and ever and....r and ever and ya know... Ever

It’s scary, yeah. But I don't think your getting it all. Hell is not only a fiery torture chamber, but worse its eternal separation from God. All those who strived to separate themselves from God, get what they always wanted. Where as Heaven is being with God, allowing yourself to praise Him every moment. That's what this really is. It’s all about where you want to be...With God or without God. I expect to get some sort of comment about how daft I sound, but that’s ok. I had friend die and I most likely tell you where he is right now and for the rest of eternity. I could have tried to do something about it, but I was too scared of what he would say or do. So I sat by and watched until it was too late. I will never again take the sidelines, no matter what others say. It’s that important. One thing you will never be able to do in Heaven is witness. There will be no one there to witness to. I'm not giving up the chances God has given me, the people He made are too precious.

 That is so true, thank you i should have addressed the separation from God once you are in hell, thanks for mentioning that for me, and we all lean back and watch as our friends and family members as they walk on the broad road to destruction and we are given opportunities from God and we don't take them, and i liked the book called "one thing you can't do in Heaven" by Mark CaHill. it's true, there is no one to witness to in Heaven!!! and just knowing that makes me want to go out and pray that God gives me many opportunities!

Once you die and go to hell there is no way of getting out and you will burn in the firy pitt for all eternity!!!! And just think that if you were to accept Christ as your personal Savior you can have an eternity in heaven where there are streets of gold and mansions that Christ has prepared!!!!

Well i'm an atheist, but i don't expect to go to hell! Neither do i expect to go to heaven. I expect to go into a coffin and then either be cremated or buried. Because Heaven, Hell, Paradise, God does not exist. But i will try to be a good person =)

One trick that some pedophiles use to get kids to be cooperative is to buy two pets and let the kid become emotionally attached.

Then the pedophile kills one pet in front of the kid and says, "Do what I want or I'll kill the other one." The innocent child, wanting to protect the pet, capitulates to the pervert's sexual depravity.

That's the same thing that the godbots do: Instill sickening fear into children to ensure they remain obedient to the religion and never leave, even after they become adults.

Edit:

NotSoSlyOne may choose to be ignorant, but I choose to be educated and widely read.

It's a scary thought that people can take imaginary things like 'God' and 'Hell' to extremes!

God I love how people talk about God giving people salvation, ONLY if they completely believe that they are the worst things ever to be created and that he is here to cure them of their self inflicted disease…
Please, just because you were probably raised with a silver spoon up your butts your whole life, doesn’t mean you understand how the world works or how God works. A person’s faith comes into jeopardy when they are met with the hell that this world dishes out, and a lot of people grow up in a society or a situation where they cannot find Gods love. The problem with the majority of Christians today is that they are all filthy rich, white, or they have been brought up in a family that has been there for them.

Try growing up as an orphan in the middle of a crack house.
Try growing up as a person who never found love.
Try living on the street as a child or even in a orphanage or in a foster home.
Become addicted to drugs as a child or become mentally unstable. Then tell me where is this God everyone keeps talking about…
Where is this God everyone talks about as they sip 5 dollar coffees in their heated homes while watching high def TV growing fatter and fatter …
Try growing in your teen years and one day find out that you can’t find a single attraction to the opposite sex… Tell your family you are gay and then get kicked out of your home, you go to your church to find out they don’t love you anymore.
Try growing up with the world’s hate unleashed on you…

Basically people grow up without even knowing about the bible, or grow up without ever understanding God’s love. So what about those people who grow up without understanding God? It isn’t their fault they were dealt harsh lives, and in response may have lost faith. . .

People that believe one is going to hell because their faith is in jeopardy are not only completely ignorant to how the world works but are also incapable of even understanding a different life than that of their own. Those people disgust me.

(PS: I am one that does believe in God, but when people act like God gives everyone the same life and chances they are just plain ignorant and disserve to get this completely emotional response that I just vented >.>)

 and i agree with you somewhat because there are many layed back Christians out there and as chrisitans, we have a job to do, and that is to go out and reach those people who would not get a chance to hear that gospel!!!! but not all Christians are like that though, but part of being a christian includes having a burden for those lost souls, just as Christ did when he died on the cross!!!!

I'm okay with it. Put your mind at rest at least as far as I'm concerned. If hells the price then I'm prepared to pay it for having the freedom to choose my own path.

"...but some people don't exactly know what happens after death..."

ALL people don't know what happens after death. But I suspect it's just like before birth.

You say you are extremely burdened by this. Don't you see that that is a false burden placed upon you by religion?
