You don't go to hell for not subscribing to a religion. You go to hell for being a lawbreaker and violating God's law.
You lie, steal, murder (hate in the heart and unjustified anger), commit adultery (lusting after others), make a false god ("MY god would never make a hell"), take His name in vain, and many other ways. You do it every time knowing it's wrong, so you're crime is sinning with knowledge that it's wrong. Violating conscience (con=with, science=knowledge) means you sin with knowledge. This is the problem, not a lack of subscription to a religion.
Jesus talked more about hell than heaven. Don't believe me, look for yourself. He warned repeatedly and told us how to avoid it. He didn't start a religion, He opened up a way of life that brings you His salvation, which because of your purposeful sin against him, you need.
Her quote wasn't even given it's context, so Mr. Whore is being deceitful and performing his lovely slanted journalism. That's cowardly. You make it sound as if she just showed up one day and said that and left. Stupid.
And you know what? She's right. He loved Hitler and Mousolini (spelled right?) and Pol Pot. He loved Judas. His love is available to all, but not many are taking it because it requires your whole life and who wants to lay that down? You'd rather spank your monkey to porn than ask Him for the grace that will set you free from your sin. It's your choice and your fault, not His. Everything that can be done for you HAS been done. Your in jail with a bail bondsman waiting to bail you out, but you won't call him. He's the lawyer who can represent you before the Judgment Bar and get you aquited, but you won't call Him. His price isn't church attendance or money in the plate or charity donations of feeding homeless people. It's your life. It's a trade off: your defiled life in exchange for His pure life AND the desire, power and ability to keep it clean. And when you screw up, He's still there with mercy to forgive.
So, WC, be fair next time you quote someone instead of this slanted journalism bull crap you pulled off here. And give everyone the FULL truth, not just the happy and warm fuzzy parts. With all the love, mercy and joys there are many tough and demanding things to reckon with as well.
Basically, quit preaching a swiss cheese gospel (full of holes).
