"Why do you fear him?"

That's upper case "H" for Him. Have alittle respect.

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Indeed He is love but He also punishes. Unlike you, I don't want to be on His wrong side.

Understand, it is YOU not me who will pay dearly for disbelief. Go ahead and laugh. Mock me with another reply which I will ignore BUT it is YOU who will pay the consequence for your disbelief. There is more than enough evidence out there for persuasion. You simply chose NOT to accept it and believe in yourself instead. It's just another choice we make in life - belief or disbelief.

While there is time, I reconsider. Things are moving along out there and it ALL matches up with God's Word, the Bible.

Fear is not wisdom.

It is fear.

If your god is so horrific that he would condemn those he created and claims to love, to an eternity of torment and pain, simply because they did not believe in him, or never heard of him.... Then let him send me to hell.

I want no part of such a god.

I never understood how this works. How do you choose to believe or not to believe?
I have to be convinced of something in order to believe it but I fail to see how one can consciously choose this state of mind.
