Simple Kamazar is simple Ok, so you respect my belief and you believe that I have freedom of choice, YET you believe in a religion which condemns myself and many other people to an eternity of hell where they will experience excruciating pain and suffering. Just for not believing in Christianity, even though you believe people can have freedom of choice An eternity of pain and suffering is pretty damn harsh. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. Sorry, I'm not trying to offend you or your religion, but it just seems like many religious believers don't fully understand their religion and all of it's contradictions that come along with it.
Don't worry LBG, Jesus and God are pretty forgiving from what I've heard. We can deny their existence as much as we like and if they turn out to be real they'll still let us into heaven if we promise not to kick the angels.
Not. trying. to. be. You lot say the guys up there love everyone. That means we can do whatever the f*** we like down here and there's always time to change our minds if they prove themselves to be real.
I don't think that an all-knowing, all-loving, and all-forgiving God can just throw people away and condemn them to eternal suffering. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
Exactly. He'd be understanding and respectful of people with different beliefs. Regardless of whether or not they're correct, a lot of them are using their religion/beliefs to try and better themselves and help others too, which "God" would probably appreciate.
well i can only tell you what happened when i died. i had a bad accident had to crawl for two days with a compound fracture to the left distal femur etc etc. crawled 2 miles before finding help. took me 2 years to learn to walk again, fake knee in 2004, spinal pain implant 2008, removed 2010 couple months ago. long story cut short obv.,. i died for 2 mins.. on the operating table i saw nothing etc etc. thats my experience with death.. so i live every day for what it is.. but respect others people point of view.. we all have to get through life in our own way and anything that makes it that much more enjoyable.. who am i to judge. chris.
yeah but they will argue with you.. iv heard it all i just smile and go on.. you know.. you were not dead long enough.. ooo you died on the operating table that is different, i just said, dead is dead im afraid. but yeah.. it is a interesting subject and how humans react to it.. one of the joys of knowing we are gonna die. think it must be nice not to know like a wild deer. just know you do not want to become that mountain lions dinner. heh chris.
and id rather have 72 ( however, at my age il be 36 in Oct. 1 is plenty.. laughs.. maybe if i was a young and dumb and full ... teen.. ) experienced womens.. virgins are a bore. least let them have some experience. laughs chris.
I'm not sure if you'd really want that. Don't you think there's a reason why they were still virgins? Also, are you sure they'd be women?
People only cling to the heaven/hell/afterlife ideas because they are scared of death. If they gave it any real unbiased thought they would have to see how childish it is.
First off, btw, I'm a Christian as well. But I don't believe that at all, what about the people that for various reasons follow a different religion or are an atheist but they are the nicest person you ever meet, help people all the time, go on "mission trips"(not necessarily religious), etc. Yet somebody that is/was a Christian, but a horrible person would? At the very least they would both get into heaven. Also, I believe you just have to be an absolute horrible person(rape, kill, etc.) all that stuff repeatedly to be sent down to hell.
Good point. I don't believe in heaven at all, but going with what you said... how about the firemen that died saving lives on 9/11? Would they burn for being atheist? It's a pretty harsh point of view.
I always think (and I hope this happens) that i can just fly around the universe, go wherever I want and see whatever I want and hve all of y questions answered. Also see what the earth used to look like ad see dinosaurs! Sounds weird! Haha BYW, I wouldn't want 72 virgins - just look at Susan Boyle!
