Well, you seem very willing to pass judgement on me. So are you claiming to be my god?

Sorry, just quoting texts doesn't give you some sort of trump card.

Quoting texts is not a direct knowledge of the after life. If we wanted to quote texts I would say that the Bible says that no man knows what God has prepared.

By judging my position as evil and worthy of death, even when you misrepresent it, is basically claiming to be God. By quoting texts and choosing those that condemn is the same thing as claiming to speak for God.

You avoid difficult questions and that is not an open honest belief system. If you belief system can't stand challenges then you might need to look at the strength of your position. If you are having to use methods that avoid the truth, then there must be something about your belief that needs hiding.
