It's a story in a book that has been proved to contain mostly fiction and unattributed tales.

That's an unsupported claim.

Not gonna happen.

Evil personified.

In that case you'd better convert to Islam 'cos their god has got nastier afterlifes for you if you don't

Are your assertions based on your own personal opinion or do you have some other sources to support them.
Every single word in the Bible is 100% true, nobody has ever found a single error or contradiction in it. That alone is reason enough to fear God's judgement.

That is NOT a proven fact, the Bible isn't any sort of proof. Stop making silly threats!

The Bible is 100% proof, every prophecy has come true so far. So we can be sure that those still to come are guaranteed.
We never hear about other gods these days, they all come and go just as the most powerful empires come and go. But God's Word is eternal, the universe will pass away but God's Word will remain forever.

You’ve heard the saying about protesting too much.

I guess Protestants will continue to protest as long as the false prophets give them reason to

Worshipping anyone is BORING and uncalled for, imo. Worshipping a god for ever and ever would be my idea of hell.

That's where I want to be.. God is so awesome to me I want nothing else.

It might explain some differences though, between Christians and those who aren't.

Why would God force you to be with Him for eternity when you hate Him? If you don't want Him, there's no point in it is there...

HA! HA! Name one giving chapter and verse.

How about the might destruction of Tyre, Ezekiel 26:21

I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord God.

Sheesh. Desolate.

Probably written after the event, it doesn't say anything god about the god character.

I was joking. You can see in that picture people frolicking on the beach in front of Tyre's skyline. Sorry it wasn't more clear; i.e., it's a failed prophecy.

So many claim the Bible, particularly the crazy book of Revelation, predicts modern day events. I remember being told as a child that according to the Bible Britain would never join the EU, WHOOPS, they got that wrong. I haven't yet found the verse which states that!

There are hundreds of fulfilled prophecies, but just to mention one.
In Ezekiel 36:11 God promised that He would bless Israel and that it would prosper more than any other nation.
This promise was made around 2600 years ago and we can see that God has blessed the Jews, as they are the richest and most powerful people in the world.
He also said in another prophecy, that He would bless those who support Israel and curse those who don't. We can see that Israels enemies are suffering, just as God promised to punish them.

Daniel 9:24-27 King James Version (KJV)

24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

70% of the world population are not Christians, it must take a large amount of energy to ignore that many people.

I don`t believe in a afterlife myself because the logic implies that if people never died, they would just fill up space to a infinite amount, the problem then is that every soul will eventually fly into eachothers because of lack of space and another problem, is that you wouldn`t walk around on this planet anymore ether, so you would always suffer with missing it and missing life

God's Word never fails, for He is perfect and His Word is perfect and true. Fallen mans interpretation of His Word, fails regularly for he is desperately wicked and he his understanding is flawed and corrupt.

If that 70% figure is accurate, it simply means that God decided to leave 70% in the dark.
There's only One true God, all the other gods are false and non existent. Those who worship them are worshiping Demons, by proxy. Satan and His Demons are quite happy for you to worship any god, as long as it's not the the One true God.

It may sound convenient, but that's what God's Word teaches.

It's a very useful escape clause.

Per the CIA world fact book:

Christian 31.4%, Muslim 23.2%, Hindu 15%, Buddhist 7.1%, folk religions 5.9%, Jewish 0.2%, other 0.8%, unaffiliated 16.4%

Rather cruel of it to do so.

It may seem cruel from our standpoint, but we must remember that our judgement is corrupt because we're all fallen creatures.
God's ways are infinitely higher than ours, so we have zero chance of ever understanding His ways.
