Derrick:

Well if they went to eternal fire and hell…….How would you expect to see and talk to them??????Case and point proven.Everyone that smoked and died didn’t die from smoking.If you believe in that “fact and observation”, you’re just giving edutainment speeches.

Got any pictures of that eternal fire and hell or are you really talking about the Valley of Hinnom in the ancient valley of Jerusalem?

miked: And we’re forgetting the key difference between religious peer pressure versus truth.com commercials. Truth.com is presenting you with stated, actual facts from decades of observation.Since the only thing we have on all the religious groups is faith and there have been no accounts of dead people coming back describing the details of heaven or hell, we have to imagine these scenarios based on descriptions written by people over a thousand years ago. In the end, we have no actual observation, no causality or anything to substantiate the threat of fire and brimstone or any other woes. These threats are the equivalent of “If you don’t invite evil fairies to your daughter’s baby shower, one of them will curse her to DIE on her 16th birthday.”

The people from the Truth.com commercials don’t call you on your cell phone, eat thanksgiving dinner with you, or stop you in the parking lot.

I've never experienced such. Maybe they see your evil shining through.

I never took it as such.

Those Truth.com commercials tell everyone that people die from smoking and illustrate it also.Do you take those commercials as threats also?

Yeah, they are information that tell you of consequences. Same thing, still peer pressure/threats.

You know threats or teachings like that can be taken a pressure…”if you don’t have GOD you’re sinnin’ and that’s death, now you don’t want that now do you?”Sounds like PP to me
