Plenty of people believe in that afterlife.

Many people enjoy life living it under the guidance of their religion. They don't need or want someone else telling them they are wasting their time just because atheists enjoy pushing their world view on everyone.
Well, is it OK to be going around telling people they are going to hell?

I was at the cemetery one day attending my husband's grave. There was a child's funeral 4 sites over. The sermon wasn't about hope and faith, it was about sin and hell. At a time when these parents needed comfort and loving words from their pastor, he choose to turn it into a scared straight session.


That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
