Also, telling people about Jesus if not the same as threatening people about what happens if they don't believe in him.   Many non-Christians learn about Jesus and other religious and historical figures without being told how they must feel about them.[/quote]
No, I'm not, but Christians are told in the Bible to share the Gospel. [b]Jesus Himself told us to do that in Matthew 28.[/b] Paul wrote about it in Romans 10. Just to name two. And you can't properly talk about Jesus without talking about Hell, which is what He came to save us from.[/quote]
But that is coming from your beliefs. Other people recognize that the Bible was written by men many years after Jesus died, and therefore believe that what has been attributed to him is either made up or distorted as early Christians sought to expand their numbers. And the concept of hell came about later. Jesus never talked about it. The early Christians were getting frustrated that the stubborn Jews (and others, but the target was Jews) would not give in and abandon their religion, so they had to come up with a threatening punishment.

And, unfortunately, it continues today. I'm sure I'm not the only Jew who has been harassed, disrespected, and even bullied by Christians who hold my religious beliefs in disdain, with repeated warnings about the fate that awaits me if I won't see that they are the only ones whom G-d loves. I believe in a much more loving G-d.[/quote]

I recognize you. You come on here almost weekly to harass, disrespect, bully, and treat Christians with disdain. Go figure. This despite the fact that most Christians here are arguing that you will NOT go to hell and only one lone fundie poster seems to hold that position. You shut these majority voices out and focus on your sense of victimhood. For many people, victimhood reinforces identity and that seems to be your game. [/quote]
