It's II Timothy 3:16: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
And the way we know II Timothy 3:16 is "a scripture given by inspiration of God," is because it says so, right there in the Bible. What more proof do you want? They couldn't print it if it wasn't true . . . I guess so, anyway . . .

God is a product, sold by a big business called religion. Criticizing God is like complaining about Windows XP or a car that you bought. The company will never stop selling a product, that brings them billions of dollars in revenue.

------------ It doesn't matter what you believe, it matters what is Truth.
Jesus said, I am the Way and the Truth and the Light. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6
You choose, Heaven or Hell:
Hell is one of those subjects that makes people uncomfortable. We hear stories of hell being a place of fire, demons, and endless torment. Throughout history many authors have written about it, Dante's Inferno for example. Western culture is very familiar with the concept. Even Hollywood has made it the subject of many movies. Whatever the context, whatever the belief, hell is definitely taught in the Bible. But even the doctrine of hell is not without its controversy. Some say it is only the grave with no consciousness. Others say it is a place of correction and punishment that is not eternal. Others say it is an endless agonizing punishment in fire. Whichever it is, hell is the total absence of the favor of God.

Not to defend the OP really, but I have to ask. You are usually the last person to "get" the joke in your circle of friends, aren't you?

The doctrine of eternal punishment in hell is a doctrine that makes the most bloodthirsty virgin-requiring volcano god seem tame in comparison. I refuse to believe in any god that would saddle finite beings like us with a decision with as grave consequences as "infinite punishment or infinite reward" based on the arbitrary notion of accepting his existence.
Very simply, I have too much much of a sense of common decency to view such a monstrous system as "justice". I cannot believe in such a monster.
