Romans 3:23 says that " ALL have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God." I just fear for a fellow human who clearly has read the bible, and knows about God, but is confused about His existence.

I just want you to ask yourself one question. Do you think you are a good person? I assume you would say yes, ( I mean who doesn't think they are good). Now answer these 2 simple questions to see how good we are, ( I will answer as well). #1. Have you ever told a lie? I have, and that makes me a liar. #2. Have you ever stolen something? I have, and that makes me a thief. Now just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean He doesn't exist. (Example; someone has a knife to your throat and says, " give me your money". You say " HA! I don't believe in knives." Does your disbelief in knives negate reality? NO!) So in reality, God does exist, and at the day of our judgment we will go before Him as thieves and liars. Why should he not cast us into hell? (which is another reality). You see, you NEED Christ. I'm not saying try it out. I'm saying you NEED Him. It's a matter us spending an eternity in heaven or hell. Like I said before, I am only concern with a fellow human's eternal soul.

The difference is, having had ample opportunity in my life to study both knives and God, the knife still scares me while God does not.  Or rather, I should say that God does scare me -- as a guiding principle based in superstition.  I'm quite frankly terrified of what good God-loving people are doing to this world because of blind belief in something I see no evidence for.

It is my honest and sincere belief that a being who would cast sinners into hell on the basis of their honest and sincere rejection of rules for which there is no natural evidence would be nothing more than a cosmic thug.  I wouldn't worship a cosmic thug even if I *did* believe in his existence.

Don't worry—this new exchange is quite young, and I don't plan to let it go on much longer.
