If you reverse what they're saying, it's basically the message that is posted here more often than not, (and they're using the pretty common concept that `believers' are going to go directly to heaven), that if you don't `believe' then you won't get into heaven etc. etc.
They have the option to be contrary here. That is what discussion and debate is all about. If everybody agreed there'd be no point for these topics, right?
Although I will ask everybody, if you choose to participate in these discussions it's expected that you show some respect for each other's beliefs/faith etc. and that you don't resort to hyperbole to get your point across.
