Free... your sister loves you. But I think you said it best through your own quote [ As for me, I don't understand how a omnipotent and loving God would ever condemn anyone to such a fate. ] the Gospel of Christ is a free offer to those who accept its claims. It is the "Good News" but I am sure you heard all of it already. Yet you still reject it. Did God make you reject it (without getting into a theological diatribe over election vs freewill) no he lays out the events and lets you know what has happened. And leaves it to the heart of man to reject or accept its claims. The punishment of damnation isn't why you should accept Christ claims in the Gospel. You should accept Christ (for short) because you have looked into your life and found yourself lacking of ability to approach this Loving God. What do we bring that is good enough for him. Is the omnipotent God going to see all your morality and say " wow I am impressed. You rejected my son, my free offer of grace/salvation, but look at you, you impressive son of a gun, you by your own power rose above the demands of the law I set out for the world something no man can do. Come, enjoy all the good things I have for you."... Could you see that happening? God is not inclined to bow down to our goodness. Interestingly enough He is inclined to accept his sons life for ours. Jesus did no wrong yet by our sin we (as in Me and You) made it so he died. Now I understand thats a hard concept to grasp. Why would the death of an innocent man some 2000 yrs ago have any effect of me now on modern man. Without trying to sound glib. Christ death has importance to us because God in his infinate wisdom designed to redeem his creation through the death of his own son. God has made his Son King. We either accept Christ as King in our lives or we accept the punishment that a King decrees. What has caused you to reject Christ? If its the hypocritical life of "christian" then doubt there salvation and don't be like them but don't reject Christs offer of forgiveness.

voice_ your reason for acting moral is a fear of going to hell??? I act morally because its the right thing to do. The right thing to do based on what set of principles? Who and what informed you as to what is moral? Isn't it just relative one mans evil is another mans morality? But christianity's "morality" or that which seems to be moral is based more on living a life thankful for what has been done on for that christian. Morality for its being right sake alone is great for s civil society but outside of christ will do nothing for you. Hell is filled with moral rejectors of God. Unitarians are the nicest people I know. __I am of two minds about Religion, on one point it has caused more killing than any other source. Religion. Thats true. Blind faith in a god of some mans making is going to lead to much evil, because the source of that religion is evil. Christianity is not per say a religion with Priests and rituals and beads and bowing five times a day or wearing secrets white garments or shaving your head or smoking drugs or dancing your self into some spiritual uephoria. Christianity is only about Jesus Christ and the bible is one big news report of events that happened. All it asks is for people of the world to read it accept it or reject it , accept it and give God the glory reject it to your own demise. ___ Even I can see that he has never hated one proven word of God. Hate may have been to much maybe happles disregard but even that is still rejection and to not hate but reject something is really splitting hairs. ___ Sorry need an outside source. The bible is the only rule of faith and practice for true believers there is no greater authority when you want to know something about a man you do what you can to get to his words that he expressed no? (Thinking of all the biographies of the world) If god proclaimed anything about himself its his words that we go to. God isn't "proven" b/c there are substansial outside sources. Authors of outside sources exist because of God if there is no God there would be no outside sources.____I don't believe, because there is just no evidence that gives a REASON to believe. You don't believe because mans heart is sinful and you are sinful. I can make that statement not because I know you but because thats what the bible says. If I may, for the first time direct you to a passage that might help explain almost everything. John 1:1-14 In the beginning---this show He (jesus) was there and that all things were made by him. This makes evolution wrong When God created he did so through his son who is the "Word" this word we see was the "light" of the world the word was in the world and the world did not receive him why ? because it goes on to say their hearts were darkened. its very clear what God has said men reject because hearts are closed off to the words of God. Before you toss it off as silly kid stuff. Read the book of John and see if its not more than that. And after you have...

Part of my comment didn't make it guess I wrote too much. Any way it should have ended with my making the point that all cultures, no matter how advanced, or how primitive, believe in something greater. It is completely normal, but to believe with all your faith in a book written by man (the Bible) is as gullible as believing Harry Potter is a wizard because somebody wrote it.
