"Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?" -1 Corinthians 6:3
1 If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people?
2 Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?
3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church?
5 I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?
6 But instead, one brother takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!
7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a]
10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
John 5:22 The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

A failure because he gave every person free will to do as they please? I mean... how fun would life be if everyone were just automatons? What would be the point?

It's okay to be in denial but when you face God on Judgment Day it will be too late to repent and turn from your sinful ways he will say to you "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels" -Matthew 25:41 you will burn forever and ever Amen.
You should all read the part about Lazarus & The Rich Man.

It also says that you don't have to believe in anything to get the ice cream and live in the cool sandcastle.
Believe what you like, you're the only one that cares and the only one that should.

Except that it doesn't. You're just making things up on the spot. It isn't really a comparable analogy.

There is a huge difference. None of the things you say resonate in the hearts of billions of people for thousands of years.

And that argument is based on what exactly? The idea that people thought the earth was flat for a few hundred years? If you look around, it obviously isn't.

The argument is based on fact.

The argument is based on fact.
If it's based on fact, surely you can present at least one of them?
