You invoked Pascal's wager -- a tactic used when you have no actual argument. Believe what I believe or fry in hell.



I quoted the Bible
You'll have to take that up with God.

Anyone can quote the Bible to prove anything. The Bible has passages that approve of slavery and passages that assert God ordered genocides.

It's interesting that Jesus was asked a couple of times exactly what is required to get to heaven, and rather than saying you must believe the earth is 6000 years old, He wasted the opportunity by saying you must obey the commandments and love your neighbors, including your enemies.

Perhaps this verse will help. Jesus said it Himself.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me."
