There's no point, you already have it in your mind that you're going to reject it. Your mind is closed to other paths, I think YOU have fallen hook, line, and sinker for Satan's greatest trick (convincing the world he's God). He has hardened your heart to other possibilities. John tells you to test the spirits that speak to you, Christians do not test, they accept without question. Not everything in the bible is of God.
Anyways, seeing as how your mind is closed and this is off-topic, I will kindly leave the thread.

Open with that quote then. Oh, and do something about those four walls of text back-to-back in the middle of the video. I really liked the Nixon clips.

If you want to discuss that topic then start a new thread. I only said one thing and you blew up. This is off- topic and even you said that you don't want this to turn into a religious discussion, so I'm trying to respect that.
Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the world government.

So Satan or hell weren't presented to you at some point in your life and that threat wasn't brought to you with a solution with heaven and Jesus' sacrifice?
How do you feel when you consider you are believing the wrong doctrine and may be sent to hell from no fault of your own? Why do people change denominations? Because they're afraid they are following the wrong doctrine. What if you don't figure out you're believing the wrong version until after you die? Do you think you'd deserve to go to hell because you believed the wrong version?
But wait, your version is the right one. Every denomination makes that claim, but yours is the right one not theirs. Right?
Not even correlation?
At least if you had portrayed some sort of correlation I could say, 'Correlation does not equal causation' and you would have at least some sort of argument. As it stands you've got 'similarities'.
Does my argument seem pointless and invalid?
Yeah, exactly.
I have only been scared of Hell as I have got more and more into my faith.
(not other religions, which I know have been created with things like that in mind, AFTER Christianity came about)
