It really hurts me to think that people feel that they need to feel deep hurt because I've rejected Christianity.

In a way, it's like it hurts me that people can't understand that I've got something that's just as wonderful for me...and I'd like to say that it hurts me that they can't see it like I do and have it for themselves...

...but if I've got something this great, but they've got something else so great that fills the same spot ib their life...then how can it hurt me?

It's like...I've got Hagen-Daazs ice cream, would you like some? Oh, you've got Ben and Jerry's? Cool! Well, uh...here's a picnic table, wanna share?

Obviously you hold it to be Christianity. Why?

Well gee, when you put it that simply- why not?

Hell is neither a pleasant nor difficult place to imagine. Poetically (and conservatively) speaking, it's an abyss of cold fire that burns black and oily. Surrounded by chaos and calculated suffering; full of endless screams, pain, torment, things we clap our hands to our ears and squeeze our eyes shut to hide from in this world. I wouldn't wish it on anyone myself, but the fact is that without salvation through Christ, people go there all the time for the greatest as well as the least of transgressions here on earth.

Where are God's instructions?

Duh. In the Bible; most fundamentally, the Ten Commandments- but that's just the surface. The rest of the book has plenty more.
