Why is it when some people read the scripture as it is written in the Bible, they can't handle it, and accuse people of being "obsessed with a vengeful God"?

"There are many Christians who spread a more positive message. They do not believe in a vengeful and even hateful God who is going to sweep to Earth someday and throw millions of good people into the fire."

Yeah, you're right. Too many Christians and Churches put out a 'touchy feely' message because they know if they preach the true Gospel, it will scare people away. I think this is wrong and sends the wrong message. People walk out of church feeling no guilt or shame over the sins they commit daily.

People like to think Jesus is like some hippie wearing love beads and flashing a peace sign but St. Mark Chapter.13 tells it differently.

" ardent Christians are almost in rapturous glee over the prospect of the non-believers (including a lot of very decent people) being condemned to an eternity of fire and damnation. "

I'll have to agree that I have known people like this also. They think they have the right to do God's job and have already decided who is going to hell and who is not. I truly despise those bumper stickers that say 'In case of rapture this car will be unoccupied.' Quite presumptuous on their part, I would say.
