Christians need to explain how a loving God would create humankind from nothing give us, compared with infinity, a very short life span and torture us for all infinity if we do not say and think nice things about him.
Jesus told us to treat others as we would that we were treated. But through inspiration he told Paul and John to tell us:
2 Thessalonians 1:6-9
since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
John 15:6
If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
Reads kind of like the Koran don't you think?
