I highly doubt that the majority of people who aren't christians don't follow jesus because they don't want to give up their "sin".
Most people who don't believe in god are very good people. They are not all people who are living in sin that they don't want to give up.

Why do you care what the bible has to say?

I don’t I couldn’t really care less, but when people read this thing and start going crazy because of what they read from it then there’s a problem.
Originally posted by andre18
When people read it and expect others to believe it with no evidence and try push their beliefs onto others because they feel so strongly about a book – then there’s a problem.

When abortion clinics are blown up because of the bible’s influence – then there’s a problem.

Although it must be nice to pick and choose which parts of the Bible feel good to us, it isn't exactly an objective scholarly viewpoint.
Originally posted by miriam0566
my sentiments exactly. hellfire doctrine ignores the fact that adam's punishment was death.
Originally posted by miriam0566
it also ignores scriptures that mention death as being asleep.
Originally posted by miriam0566
it also ignores scriptures about the dead being unable to think.

if bad people are in hell to be tortured for all eternity, why did jesus pay a visit? why is there going to be a resurection of the bad as well as the good?
