Kimmer,
Sorry of your sad experience.
(I feel thesame way with my relatives who I visit and they believe in no god
and try cramming it down my throat.. but that is another topic...)
I just wanted to let you know I feel bad that your Pentecostal relatives
spend soooo much time on hell!
The Bible refers to hell only a few times.
BUT, it refers to LOVE many, many times.
Thus, the message for those believing and living the Bible, in my opinion,
would be its most spoken of message LOVE!
There is a verse that says, "They will know us by our love".
I apologize because it just isn't happening, and I feel bad about it.
Preaching is a lot easier than living it!
Your relatives will one day reach the LOVE stage for truly that is what
Jesus' message was mostly about! Thus, those of us following Him should try
to exemplify this same pattern, is my thinking.

Hopefully you will recover soon.
Again, I am sorry. We aren't all like your relatives.
Bj

P.S. There is no saracasm or cynicism in this note so please don't read into
it as being of that nature.
I am sincere in my empathy! (In other words, I am not wanting a bunch of
slams in return, for those of you who read into this, perhaps, as being
sarcastic or such.. thanks!)
