God proved nothing. There is no evidence that the Bible has anything to
do with God. There is no evidence that God exists. There is no evidence
that the doctrine of atonement is true. There is no evidence for a soul,
an afterlife, heaven or hell. These doctrines are derived from a book
that contains many, many serious errors of fact, yet you want us to
believe doctrines that are completely unsupported by any evidence. When
we are skeptical about this nonsense, you try to threaten us with a
completely unbelievable and totally unsubstantiated judgement. 

It's no wonder that no one here takes you seriously. You just aren't
being serious here. You try to sell a completely dishonest,
unsupportable religion to us and get mad at us when we aren't persuaded.
