[On why a kind God would use the threat of Hell as an... incentive at all]
Like I said before if there was something other than torment then who'd worship Him.

[On why the dinosaurs went extinct]
The other theory is that before Adam and Eve were the dinosaurs. God created them and didn't like them so He flooded the earth and started again.
All that aside, do you live in a freakin' cave? Do you have any gay friends? Good grief, if you want to talk about homosexuality and consequences, as my dead grandfather. Yep, gay, and dead at 56. AIDS. Most of my gay friends are on the same route. Every time one of my friends comes out of the closet I cry. Not because of sin, but because I know how they are going to die. Its a dangerous road they are on. Homosexuality is rarely about two commited life partners. It is usually about getting laid a lot from a lot of different people.
You do realise that the concept of Heaven originated in the Old Testament... do you? You do realise that there is no evidence out there to suggest there is a heaven outside of the Bible?
God isn't forcing His love upon us. If He did then we would have no choice but to love Him. He'd be taking away our free will. So He's giving us a choice. Love Him and your reward is Heaven. Reject Him and condemn yourself to Hell. They are the two options God has presented us with and the ONLY two options. Remember God doesn't send us to hell, we condemn ourselves to hell. You give your wife a choice, "stay with me and we'll spend the rest of our lives together or go your away and never see me again". Are we as Christians afraid of Hell? Very much so, but it's necessary for us to keep our love in the Lord or risk losing faith.
Yet i maintain that God is the origin of that evolution process, not Darwin.
The book of mormon contradicts the bible at every turn, and even contradicts itself, it's total bull.
