Are Christians bootlickers?

Being deferential to somebody that burns people in hell forever is bootlicking.

Matthew 25:21

His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

 Kenneth Copeland has an estimated net worth of $750 million.

There's also not an issue with honoring one's father or mother,

Why an issue with honoring God?

If I believed in God,

I would not believe he burns humans in Hell forever,

If someone is holding a pistol to your head, then nobody would judge you as being overly deferential for doing whatever your assailant demands.  Therefore if the pistol is everlasting and the pain of being shot is eternal, so much more the appropriateness of any degree of  deference demonstrated.

It sounds like to me that they are.

For example, their bible states that most people will burn in hell forever (Matthew 7:13-14)

When pointing this out, Christians say, "They deserve to burn in hell if God puts them there"

This is bootlicking; because God can do something as horrible as burn people in hell forever and the Christians have no problem with it.

There is not a single crime you can do that is so horrible the just penalty is an eternity in hell.  The worst crime you can do (murder) can be punished by hell for only a minute because hell is extremely painful.  Rape (possibly the 2nd worst crime you can do) can be punished with 24 seconds in hell and given the painfulness of hell, 24 seconds would be justified.  But anyone who is not a murderer or a rapist should not spend one instant in hell without their consent.  To disagree and advocate that your typical Joe and Jane deserve to burn in hell forever because the bible says so is bootlicking God, and bootlicking is unamerican.

Christians also have said, "Just repent and change your ways and God will send you to heaven".

However, they should NOT be forced to repent.

Lets say someone genuinely hates Joe Biden because of a political disagreement.  Now lets say Joe Biden said, "Anyone that hates me should change their ways or else I will jail them the rest of their life and give them white room torture.  Keep in mind that I love these people and I give them free will but their options are support me and everything I do or life in jail with white room torture".  If Joe Biden said this, it would be incredibly tyrannical and authoritarian and anyone who likes Biden at that point would be a bootlicker.

If you happen to dislike Trump, imagine the same scenario as above, except Trump is saying that to a never Trumper.  Anyone who likes Trump at that point is a bootlicker to Trump.

If you agree with someone torturing someone in hell forever because the prosecuted merely dislikes the person in charge, then you are a bootlicker.  Bootlicking is unamerican and anti liberty.

There are plenty of other gods and traditions.

I suggest to you that sin - is treason against God. It is the most vile and offensive thing.  And we do it knowing the consequences - and still sinning  anyway. 

I reject your assertion that there is no offence that deserves judgment in Hell.  The bible clearly indicates there there is an offence and that all of us have broken it.  You might not like the rules - that is a different matter altogether. How about you go and create your own world and make the rules.

My position as many people in the church is that most people in history will end up in Heaven and that only a minority of people will end up being judged in Hell.

The Book of Revelation tells us that the number of people in Heaven is number without count.

and it was speaking in general terms to those people in Jesus' time and more or less to a time prior to the incarnation

Yes, I have seen the numbers in the West suggesting christians are reducing in number. But have you seen the numbers in Africa, and China, and Asia, and South America? Exponential growth is still occurring.  

I think you will find that Christians generally say - that EVERYONE - christian or non-christian deserves judgment from God - for all have sinned and fallen short of his requirements. That's why Jesus is significant. Because he is the only one who did not deserve judgment because he alone did not sin.  Since Christians hold to the view that God is good and just - we take the view that since we know the punishment for our sin and do it anyway that - we have no excuse. And we have no defense.  Noone forces us to sin - we choose to do it ourselves - knowing full well it will have consequences. 

If Hellfire is the punishment - why is it so severe and harsh? In normal legal systems - the more severe and heavy the punishment - the greater the value of what is being protected.

We value life as a rule so someone who takes away someone else's life is given a punishment appropriate to that - which is mitigated only by circumstances and intent. We value the sanctity of the marriage which is why rape, and adultery and other forms of sexual offences are given heavy sentences (at least historically).  Incidentally, one way to show marriage is not valued anymore in the west is the fact we don't in many countries have punishment for adultery. 

And the answer is interestingly, even on most legal books the most serious offence- treason. Go and have a look at the various legal systems around the world. One of the few offences which still carries the death penalty in most cases is treason. 

In Thailand - treason is expressed simply saying something negative about the king. 

I suggest to you that sin - is treason against God.

Nope. It is not bootlicking.  God can do anything he chooses to do.

How about you go and create your own world and make the rules.

Are Christians bootlickers?

So thinking of yourself in the past, you'd call the yourself of back then, a bootlicker?

Assumably some of your family, friends, acquaintances, back then, you'd call bootlickers, as well?
