Why don’t more people worry about eternal damnation?

Because most people don’t believe in it. Even most churches teach that God is nice and people are generally good, and the nice God wouldn’t really condemn a generally good person to an eternity of torment.

Getting people to believe in the sovereignty of God is a challenge in a secular state like the USA. The individual is our God, even here on FR.

I’m worried about night crawlers. Silly deniers refuse to see the obvious (albeit unsubstantiated) link between night crawlers and polio.

Those bastards.

Of church or chapel bell;

Within a yard of hell.”

Indeed. What a curse it is to be stranded among those about whom it was long ago written, "there is no fear of God before their eyes."

Along with the present established religion, hiding in a fashionable disguise of a wholly imagined "neutrality," other idolatries abound, e.g., Earth worship, worship of the self, worship of whatever unity of imagined purpose and theatrical self-annihilation they presume to be provided by interchangeable flavors of destroying mass movements, e.g., Islam, fascism, communism , etc.

Pan-everything-ism -- anything except the God who brought them and their families to this remarkably blessed place; the God of Abraham, Issac and of Jacob, whom their ancestors acknowledged and their ancestors' ancestors, also.

The One who struck a tent of human flesh and dwelt among us.

In the word of the real "prophet," 2,700 years ago:

Who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

Because, in part, it’s been caricatured.
