No I am not back, I wrote that #330 post before the posts went into cyberspace. I didn't understand your comment about "why should i want to know God. I think it is like saying why would I want to know my dad.
lol. I meant that the entire thread reappeared all of a sudden after having been gone.
It sounds like you have a good relationship with your dad but not everyone does. Not all fathers are good. Some people would rather not know their fathers. And some people see God as something negative, something they don't want to know. So when you tell them that they're going to be separated from God forever, they don't see it as a bad thing. And the threat of hell isn't going to change their mind. I personally think it's better to say what you find wonderful about God if you're going to want people to want him.
By the way, did you go back and read what I wrote? Here it is: "I'm just saying your Christianese only makes you look like you're in a weird cult and it makes God look unattractive
and that's not what he is.
