I'm with you on Hell being a ridiculous concept. If a religion needs to threaten you with eternal punishment to get you to follow it, what does that say about the appeal of the religion on its own merits?

I agree big time on that. I often get remarks, if and when I do decide to speak up against the tide, that I will have to face my maker at the gates of heaven, and apparently will be sent to everlasting torture. Why? Because I did not bow down to Him. It says a lot about that sub-section of Christians who are only in it due to this fear
