Nice try, but there are a million ways to celebrate God. Your vision of God is steered by some mysterious fixation with the condemnation of other people. This attitude has alienated more Christians from the Christian faith far more than it has helped. You use a pretty wide brush to condemn the Catholics as heretics, the Protestants as heretics, the Jews as non believers and the Muslims as non believers. Didn't St. Cyprian represent a tolerant attitude towards the apostates? Wasn't he the one that said they should be let back into the Church, albeit with some strict guidelines. Are you trying to take us back to the Dark Ages because you revel in the fundamentalism of the debate regarding the future of other men's souls? The Muslim extremists are saying the same thing you are saying with a different spin. They have condemned the Shi'a and Sufi's as heretics of the Islamic faith. They have used their fatwahs to issue religious decrees like the ones you have quoted to blast the Jews. They have called for jihad against the Christians that have conspired with the Jewish occupation of Israel. BTW, wasn't it the British the established the state of Israel with the Befour Accord? If there is no way that you are going to unify the message of God and Jesus Christ through this line of persecuting rationale, why not come up with a better way of delivering the message of God? As soon as you pull out the Hell card, your words fall on deaf ears. Nontheless, you obviously have an incredible religious background. It's a shame that you can not find a more constructive way to deliver your beliefs.
