No . Common sense tells me not to bring up subjects or talk about certain points of view with people that I know will not be open to them .

No, because I don't discuss religion with anyone.

..

Oh, all the time. They think I'm going to hell because I don't believe in their magic book.

My step dad said I was going to split hell wide open.

Those kind of people create their own kind of personal hell for people who support LGBTQ rights. One of my neighbors and former fellow board member of my condo association told me that I should be put in jail for doing what I do for a living, performing non-religious and LGBTQ weddings and funerals. He headed up a group of neighbors who believed me to be unworthy of fair treatment because of my beliefs in equality. They created a community hell for me for many years. Gladly most of them have moved on or mellowed out and are no longer bothering me.

Hard to be threatened with something that doesn't exist. I'd be shaking in my boots. Like being threatened by an attack from the tooth fairy.

It takes guts to be an agnostic in Mississippi.

You need to ask them how it is different from other hells?

It’s like sayin “your going to Oz”. Makes about the same sense.

Of course not . I can gage what my friends opinions are on some topics so I avoid these type of conversations .If I am aware that i can not change an individuals mind, why should I waste my time .

Cause all the good people will be there,

I live in a very Jesus-y rural area. I have been threatened with hell for all kinds of reasons.

I've been threatened with guns, knives, baseball bats and fisticuffs, all of them were more real than hell.

You should remind them that only god can judge you.

Some "friend".
Anyone who threatens you with hell is not only a shitty friend, they're a super shitty christian, too.
Might want to remind them that the bible doesn't say jackshit about LGBTQ+, not to mention it also frowns on threatening people with hell.
Oh yeah, and most importantly, the bible is fiction.

The Sisters used to threaten us ALL with hell.

Over 600 commandments in their book. I'm pretty sure we are ALL going to hell

Yes, but no big deal, I don't believe in heaven or hell. I believe that when you're dead, you're dead.

AS IF anyone would have the nerve! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!

Almost everyday because I am Gay. I tell em I will see em there and laugh.

Hell is an intricate part of traditional Christianity. It's the place for all non-Christians and those Christians who don't believe correctly. Without hell, heaven wouldn't be the coveted reward it is supposed to be - not something to make sacrifices for. Depending on the particular Christian and their personal beliefs, hell will be somewhere in their mind either to keep themselves in line enough to avoid it, or to condemn others for their differing beliefs.

Funny you'd ask this question? Today, I was told "it is not to late save my soul and repent.".
This was in response to this post.

This person knows I believe in myself and not into cults and fairy-tale stories and the evil that resides in a church. I have told this person many times over 25 years not to preach to me. They are all the same these bible-bangers. I let her have it today. But it does no good they can't shut up. To stupid and to brainwashed. They should outlaw organized religion it is every bit as bad as the plague and then some.

If Christians will be there, I guess there really is a hell ..

Are you sure that this person was a friend or just an acquaintance?
