Where has Still Waters told us why we're wrong? He has not explained why we're wicked/evil/nasty adjectives, he's done nothing to support this assertion. When asked to explain he hides and claims he shouldn't have to explain anything. He has given us no reason at all to believe what he says, he consistently refuses to, and says nothing in the face of arguments that destroy his position. He has only stated that a very offensive thing is true, in spite of all actual evidence providing nothing to support it.
This is the worst possible way to get people to believe, I assure you, more atheists will be convinced that he's incorrect than correct at this display of nonsense.
The ignorance of your assertions is driving people away from your god, not towards it.

I don't see you callin anyone to Jesus in this thread. All I see is you goin after someone who is trying to speak the word and offer people the means of salvation.
Preach the salvation message to them if you can do it better than me:

In this hypothetical, I cannot pretend that I would not be too absolutely terrified of the punishment this god has for me than to try as hard as I possibly could to ensure I was not sent to it. But you cannot force yourself to love someone, you simply cannot. I would do my best to act as if, and to force myself to feel as if, because the sheer and utter fear caused by such a cosmic overkill of a punishment would force me into doing literally anything to best of my ability. However, if this god can see into my heart and mind, he'd know that I did not love him, I could not bring myself to love him, and that I found his actions disgusting, even though I knew they actually happened. However, if there were no eternal punishment and instead people were judged for how good they were, or the wicked were annihilated not tortured, perhaps I could grow fond of this god, but that's not the Biblical god is it?
Yes, he's already ignored several times I've extensively pointed that one out...

Romans 1
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Satan just loves it when atheists donate to disaster relief or volunteer, he just loves how so many of us want to stop the violence and hatred that hurt our fellow human beings, and he especially loves how we are less likely to commit crimes than any religious demographic. Our efforts to promote peace and nonviolence all over the globe make Satan extremely proud.
