I think that I might have given some people here some wrong impressions in the past. So, I'd just like to clear a few things up.
1. I am a Christian.
2. This means that I believe in one God, who expresses Himself as a Trinity of people - God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. This also means that I believe all other gods/godesses/deities-of-any-description are fakes, invented by humans or by Satan to trap people and keep them away from God.
4. In addition, I believe that everyone who isn't a Christian is going to Hell.
5. Understandably, I would really rather all you people didn't go to Hell. Hence, I'm praying for you. And I'm going to keep praying for you. Even if you ask me not to.

So, there we go.

Okay ... I think I was trying to make a more polite (and hopefully illuminating, although oviously that failed) response to your comment:

"I don't believe in Hell"

And essentially what I was trying to say was:
"So?"
and
"Fair enough ... is there a point you were trying to make?"

I know that in one sense whether you believe in Hell or not matters at least to you, but in a wider sense, what difference does you believing in Hell or not, make?

Hell isn't going to start existing on the grounds that Michelle believes in it or stop existing on the grounds that you don't.

Michelle is not going to stop believing in Hell because you don't, nor is she going to stop praying for you because you don't, infact it's probably good grounds for praying all the more.

Perhaps the point had already been made by Pling and I was just confusing the issue (and perhaps this explanation has already been made by Chess and ... I think I'll stop now).
