Hell - Part 2

Everyone would agree that we should warn children about the danger of talking to strangers. We agree as a society that we should warn everyone about the dangers of smoking & doing drugs. We’ve legislated laws which require pharmaceutical companies to warn people of a prescription drug’s side effects in their commercials. Yet, for some odd reason, we feel it is offensive to warn people about the danger of eternal Hell which is far worse than any of these.

        What would you say about a doctor who knew you had cancer & knew of a cure, but only discussed politics or the weather with you? What would you say about a fireman who saw a house on fire & said, “Well, I hope those inside figure things out for themselves before it’s too late?” What would you say about a policeman who saw a man with an assault rifle walk into a school & just shook his head & drove on past the school? We would be outraged by such people! We’d want to throw them into prison because we believe their neglect to warn or do something about the impending danger is itself a crime against humanity. You see, we all, innately, feel that every person has certain moral responsibilities like warning a child to look both ways before crossing the street.
