So Believe in Jesus OR ELSE!!!
Watch this entire video. It is totally hilarious! At one point the guy says that Satan is SO smart with how he persuades people and youth to fall away from God. What is it with preaches acquiring a raspy, Southern Baptist-style sound to their voice whenever they are preaching about hell? How does this guy know who is in hell and who is not in hell? Has he been there? Nope. Does he have pictures of it? Nope. What does this man think that there is a hell? Because the Bible says so.
Hey guy, want to know what hell really is? Hell is people like you persecuting others who do not wish to believe and practice and live in the same manner as you. Hell is you trying to tell me who I may and may not love according to your Bible and your God. And dude, you totally need to bring it down a notch or you will give yourself a heart attack.

Geeze. The things people believe in and the things people try their damnedest to hold over others. What have we done to ourselves? Have we come this far in existence to try to kill each other off because this group's invisible God is supposed to be better than the other group's invisible friend? Is that what love and redemption are? How in the fuck did this message of eternal love morph into something that people beat and destroy each other with?
There is no such place as hell, unless you want to count Fort Bliss, Texas. I have been there and it really isn't that bad...okay, well...except for that time it was 115 degrees and the colonel insisted we practice in the desert boondocks. That was definitely hell.
You know what is interesting is the number of preachers who attack other preachers because they feel the preachers do not preach enough of God's wrath. Shee-it. I think mankind has had enough of God's supposed wrath. Old news, buddy.
You know, I think it is truly funny how so many Christians are so very afraid of hell and all of the bad things in the world that Satan is supposed to be tempting people with in order to keep them away from God. What a crock. And why are these people so afraid, why?
I have come across so many Christians who are riddled with fear of the supposed plots of the devil that are lurking around every corner. If you have this supposed love of God and power...why are you so very afraid of the world and all of the supposed bad things in it? Do you not have a will? Can you not choose good things instead of bad things?
What better way to convert people than to convince them that their soul is hanging by a thread.
Wow.
Of course hell is necessary. Do you know why? Because if the deluded faiths squeezed from the sponge of Bible based religions did not have hell then that in and of itself would disprove all of the bullshit they spew about hell. Hell is a must for Bible based religions as they cannot exist without it.
If God sends people to hell then He really ought to go back into the Bible and reassess the description of what love is and what God is in relation to that love. God sending people to hell is not compatible with God being love and love conquering all. In fact, since love conquers all it would also conquer hell, right? You do see where I am going with this, right?
Well, what do we have here? Religious groups fighting over what the description and purpose of hell is? Are you at all surprised? So I suppose it just is not good enough for one's God to be better than the other's God, because they need to have one understanding of hell better than the other as well.
This video is totally awesome! You've got to love how they open up with the music from those Michael Meyers movies with Jamie Lee Curtis.
This guy sounds like someone needs to go and get his nitro pills quick because he is about to have a heart attack. When these folks preach about hell is it possible to speak in normal tones? Do you think that is possible? I do not agree with your version of what hell is. I think hell, at least A version of hell these days, is people and groups like you trying to make laws that dictate how I may and may not live according to some scripture or Bible.
I will accept the law as it is, but I will never accept law formulated from any religious cause. Law that is formed from religion invariable ends up being compassion-less and unethical. And I am referring to compassion in law as expressed by the punishment befitting the crime. Law without compassion is tragedy and an abuse of the structure of society.
Why in the hell are you referring to yourself as not being afraid? You are disguising your pursuit of converts with an act of courage...which it is not. I will give you an example of courage and not being afraid but within the confines of religion as you so present: As many threats as the religious community throws at non-believers and those who would have nothing to do with the ludicrousness of the Bible many of these folks are not afraid to stand up and tell you they do not want to hear your shit.
You stand there preaching hell-fire and damnation, threatening eternal punishment for not choosing what God and Jesus supposedly wants people to choose, trying desperately to SCARE people into signing over to your bipolar deity. Sometimes your campaign of fear works, usually with people who are truly frightened by your assertions of hell and immeasurable pain.
Then there are the people who refuse to be bullied by such absurd control mechanisms. These people are not afraid to stand up and defend themselves and their rights from being curbed and pruned down to nothing more than sentimental writing on paper.
Hell is necessary? Well, I suppose so. Hell serves as a great deterrent for many, those who don't want religion but who choose such, for the irrational fear in regards to their soul demands that they believe anyways.
Preachers all over the world speak ad nauseum on the idea that even though the story of salvation and Jesus dying on the cross sound insane, surely some of such information contains actual truth and proof. Don't you want to spend eternity worshiping a deity non-stop, the very same deity that for thousands of years purposely allowed his own so-called chosen people to suffer calamity after calamity after calamity.
God doesn't know people who aren't saved? Isn't He supposed to be omnipotent? That being the case wouldn't He know everyone no matter what they choose to believe? And another thing, since God is supposed to be omnipotent and know everything, well, that would make God a liar when He says He does not know someone.
What is interesting is this gentleman's assertion that hell is not predestined. When I was a kid we more or less learned the opposite. Back then I was taught that all people are born into sin and (with the exception of babies and young children) everyone is slated for hell until they choose Jesus.
The diagram of the location of hell in this video is priceless.
So much for solidarity between the various faiths.
Nothing like giving a sermon on hell. That type of sermon seems to be far more popular when trying to convert victims (non-believers) as opposed to preaching about love and the perfection of love.
No. I am not going to heaven because there is no such place.
