Just humor me. Try to imagine, "ETERNAL TORMENT".
Surely you've had some kind of pain in your life, physical or emotional.
Imagine that pain going on and on, and never ending, EVER.
Now multiply that pain by 10,000.
That's the Lake of Fire.
It was created for rebellious spirits, not for man.
But the Word of God tells us that that is where the majority of mankind
will spend eternity
Now, why do I care?
I wouldn't want my worse enemy to spend one second there, much less all
eternity, and nobody has to.
Christ's shed blood can keep anyone, and everyone who is willing,
not only out of the Lake of Fire, but into His presence forever!
That's what His Word says, and He can't lie.
Ah. By that I can take it that you believe that having the meaning in your
life handed to you is more fulfilling than you going out and making it yourself,
then? What a glitteringly leftist viewpoint.
I'm about as far right as you can get without falling off the spectrum.

And now imagine that you will have absolutely no idea of any such thing once you get into enforced permanent bliss. So again... why care?
If you are correct, then you will spend an infinite length of time giving absolutely not one iota for the suffering of others. A bit anti-social, rather sociopathic, really. So your pretensions of caring *now,* for a few years compared to an infinity of not caring at all, look pretty pale.

Umm... sure about that?

Except that you believe that the most emotionally fullfilling aspects of your life are to be handed to you, rather than made by you.
