Why do Christians threaten atheists with the idea of going to hell when they die? Do they assume atheists haven't already considered the concepts of mortality and using the time one has on earth wisely?

>Do they assume atheists haven't already considered the concepts of mortality and using the time one has on earth wisely?
Most haven't, they just live in the moment.
Unironically this. Talking to Christians it seems like they only view themselves or maybe also some close friends and family as actual people.
>Talking to Christian having a crisis of faith
>Ask them about other people who’ve gone through similar things or worse
>They seem entirely baffled by the idea that anyone has suffered as much or more than them (their husband cheated on them and wanted a divorce)
Christians are so full of themselves and incapable of considering other viewpoints that they typically assume atheists believe in all the same things they do. The difference is that atheists hate God because they're evil or have suffered some loss.
I think the anon you replied to was attempting to insult atheists.
Christian opinions on atheists seem to be based on how much they like the atheist.
>My close friend or relative is an Atheist
>He has never heard of/understood the bible/salvation/Jesus
>This Atheist on the internet is talking bad about the bible
>He must really believe in Christianity but hate God
It's why they talk so much about sharing the word like your non-religious coworker in the US somehow never heard of Jesus.
I don’t believe protestants, especially American evangelicals to be Christians.
Arian sisters, we're so back, 325 will be avenged.
Maybe some bible thumpers threaten. But it is a question if you want to be with God, or not. It's not a place meant for the fallen angels and demons, but for those who throw their lot in with them, they resign themselves to it. It goes against God's character to force people who do not believe in him or want to be with him. We go by the standard we are given and how we carry it out.
I don't get Evangelicals....
It's kind of a trick question because it was the infinite becoming finite.
The Son has always existed in the trinity, but he acquired his human form 2k years ago, in that sense he was "created" in the sense that his physical body was created, his human nature being created in a perfect union of God and Man. The Son of Man.
It is a warning, you know when you are down in the dumps and you want to kys? That is a taste of Hell, self hatred and self harm. All manner of sins will be forgiven and you go to Hell if you want to, and with what disposition you need to be to want to be there? Suffering in Hell is perfect, because the people in there want to be there.
Christian moralizing truly is a disease
>Taking your morals serioulsy and warning people of a real danger that all who refuse to change their ways are at risk of suffering is........LE BAD
Atheism is a disease.
>a real danger
That’s the thing, though. You think it’s real, but atheists (and non-Christians) don’t. How do you convince people who don’t believe in your scary place to be afraid of it? Are you hoping that some latent cultural influence kicks in and that you’ll FUD them into it? What about for people who were never brainwashed with the concept of hell as children?
>You think it’s real, but atheists (and non-Christians) don’t.
But we do, and you're wrong.
>How do you convince people who don’t believe in your scary place to be afraid of it?
By demonstrating to them that Christianity is true.
>But we do, and you're wrong.
This won’t convince anybody. It’ll just make you look like a Bible-thumping jackass.
>By demonstrating to them that Christianity is true.
How would you do that?
>you know when you are down in the dumps and you want to kys?
No, never experienced that. What’s it feel like?
If christianity is true, then the punishment for heresy is way worse than for atheism, so only an insane person would be christian and not an atheist in that case.
>then the punishment for heresy is way worse than for atheism
Pretty sure they both end up in the same place, m8.
Every single instance where that has been addressed has seen heretics be punished more severly.
>Every single instance where that has been addressed-
Where?
Dante's inferno.
So literal fanfic then.
Like the rest of christianity.
I accept your concession of defeat.
Consider applying for Canada's MAID program.
In Mormonism, if you commit apostasy then you go to the bad place. But if you just never joined up then you go to the okay place.
Atheist are moronic for a myriad of reasons, ending up in one possible hell is just one.
Suppose you have terrible ass pain. And I'm like, "dw bro, I know some Reiki, just let me place my hands in your skull and Reiki yo ass".
You're stupid, because in these cases you don't believe, even in the event It were placebo, you're causing nocebo.
What the frick is wrong with you?
To be fair, when we say "christian beliefs", that can mean anything from a UU belief that everyone eventually goes to heaven and god is infinitely loving and merciful, to the christosatanist (evango/fundie) believe that virtually everyone is tortured for ever by an infinitely cruel and unjust god. What OP is talking about is the extremely psycho version, which IMO are so demendted that they are de facto devil worshippers (beelzebub in a jesus skinsuit).
