It’s actually deeply offensive and frankly disgusting to basically threaten people who don’t share your beliefs. That the threat you’re attempting is embarrassingly inane given that atheists don’t believe your God exists is neither here nor there.
Is this an example of Christian love?
Everybody on this thread, without exception, has addressed what people have posted - not made value judgements about their characters.
Dione attempted to dismiss me as some clueless Googler acting on confirmation bias - all so that she could support her own belief in a historical Jesus with no better reason than that “all the historians think so”. Actually, they don’t all think so - and it IS intellectually lame to offer evidence that you yourself do not understand. She does not know why there has (recently) been a historical consensus and what the issues are, so why would she even mention it?
The “consensus” could very well be wrong - which makes anyone relying on it as evidence look a bit silly.
But what Dione was actually trying to do was appeal to authority (a logically fallacious way to approach anything) in order to shut down a conversation she doesn’t want other people to have.
You have tried to achieve the same thing with, basically, threats of hellfire.
I don’t appreciate either approach, and absolutely nobody should be accepting such morally bankrupt behaviour.
The evidence for Jesus is non-existent. That is simply a fact and people are allowed to talk about it.
If any Christian feels “offended” then that’s their problem to deal with.
