Is it really necessary to prove that there are fundamentalists that literally believe the Bible is true and that eternal damnation is achievable through lack of belief in it’s literal nature?

If you're going to paint with that brush, yes, indeed, you must prove that the brush exists.

“If you’re going to paint with that brush, yes, indeed, you must prove that the brush exists.”

So do I need only prove that there are folks out there that believe that if you do not believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible you are going to hell?

I just want to be clear on what it would take to convince you of what you already know to be true. We are simply scoring debating points here now, I realize, so I’m playing along.
