One thing I have always found curious about many Christians is their apparent obsession and even joy over other people going to hell. Not content to let God sort them out, they feel compelled to do that job on his behalf.

If this is honest, I am saddened to hear it. On the other hand, I find it very peculiar that many fierce opponents of Christ make claims that are in stark and total opposition to my lifelong experience. I think I can promise you a different reception if you are ever honestly seeking. The image you present is off-the-wall out of character for any biblical Christian gathering that I've ever witnessed.

God loves you and would save you from your sin if you would but choose Him over it,

I do not know the heart motive in the particular wording of Fruit of the Spirit (the poster).

We are not gleeful over the condemnation of unbelievers. The truth of John 3:18, 36 and Revelation 21:8 must, nevertheless, be told. Declaring what God said in His word is not usurping the place of the Judge of the universe -- God. Declaring what God said is an ambassadorial role (2 Cor. 5:18-21), which must also include preaching the remedy, Christ and His substitutionary sacrifice of Himself under the judgment of God for sin. God is not willing that any should perish (2 Peter 3:19) and has provided that which satisfies His own justice and holiness for every sinner. There is simply no reason to refuse His offer of pardon (see Romans 3:19-26).

It's hilarious, though, to those of us who have a slightly twisted sense of humor, have read Dante's Inferno and have taken more of our beliefs on prophecies from the earlier Prophets/Writings (possibities of simply death or a place in the world to come).

As for judgement, I agree with you. But others won't. That's the way it goes. We can each express, while there won't be any establishment--great balance in the Constitution.

And to all who read this and do Christmas, have a Merry Christmas!

I don't agree with that. I believe that most Christian believers pray that all are saved and that they will give the heart to Jesus. We believe the we should "judge not least we be judged". Merry Christmas to you. Amen.
