Ummm... What happened to the second sentence in the paragraph you quoted? I believe I said that "
there's a difference between advocating one's belief system and purposely trying to elicit a negative response from a religious social group."
Come on, now. I know you know that I know you know what I'm talking about

You can believe God doesn't exist and Hell isn't real. God doesn't dictate who you're going to be and/or what you're going to do with your life. Our actions aren't pre-scripted before we're born. Each person shapes his or her life as they see fit. Each person is given the ability to act of his or her own accord. God still knows the ultimate outcome of your life.
It's one of the perks of being omnipotent.

These are the type of statements I have a problem with. You (and lots of other christians, claim a knowledge of hell as if it's fact. Do you believe every book you read as fact??

Do I believe every book I read? Nope. Do I believe the Bible as it's written? Yup. That was a rather simple question to answer
