Every day in the Raleigh newpaper(The News & Observer) this guy named James Melough runs this ad titled "All The Odds Are Against You":


ALL THE ODDS ARE AGAINST YOU
About 600 years before Christ, God said that Christ would enter Jerusalem on April 6, 32 A.D., riding on an ass's colt, and He did. Could anyone but God have made such a prediction? That same God warns that all who die without having been born again, will first enter hell, and then the lake of fire to endure eternal torment. He has made many other predictions, not one of which has been wrong. What makes you think He will be wrong about your entering hell and the lake of fire? Only a fool would gamble the eternal fate of his soul against such impossible odds. You can be born again today by admitting that you're a sinner, believing that Christ loved you enough to die in your place for your sins, and that in response to that faith God will pardon you and receive you into heaven. Tomorrow could be too late. Tomorrow you could, to your eternal horror, learn that He was right when He warned of the need to be born again.

I like how they try to scare and intimidate people in to joining the Church.

"What makes you think He will be wrong about your entering hell and the lake of fire?"

"Only a fool would gamble the eternal fate of his soul..."

Yes. How Christ-Like of him. Because "God" wants you to intimidate and instill fear into your brothers and sisters so they join you.

It's funny how we're taught not to believe in dragons, unicorns, fairies and the like, but "eternal damnation in a lake of fire within the pits of hell" is faithfully accepted by the god-fearing majority.

If you know that there's only space and planets and the universe above us, and only molten rock and metal down to a solid iron core below us, who in their RIGHT MIND would believe in heaven and hell? Thank goodness for good old god-refuting Science. Empirically tried, tested and true.
