Go To Heaven When You Die


Recommended Posts

be there in about fifteen minutes.

 

I desperately hope you can say that sincerely when you're on your death bed someday, SA. That goes for everyone else around here too. Even BigD.

I'm in the middle of reading The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. I can distinctly remember being 4 or 5 years old and hearing the story of Noah's ark in Sunday school. I remember thinking "no way". You're telling me that two penguins walk all the way up from Antarctica and got on that boat? Religion and the bible ask you to believe so many things that are just rediculous. Seems the new trend is to only believe the parts that suit you.

 

Explain to me why a child born into a Hindu family, respected his parents, grew up to be a community leader, spent countless hours serving his community, loved his wife and kids ends up in hell. That's what is bible tells us. That is not the expected action of a benevolent being who loves everyone equally, listens to every prayer, and has a plan for everyone. Ask in pubescent girl in Africa who just had her clitoris cut off if there is a benevolent God.

 

Only about 33% of the world are Christians. What makes anyone think that Christians are the only ones that got it right. Hell, even the Jews don't believe that Jesus is the son of God and Jesus is a Jew! And why would God condemn the other 67%?

 

I grew up in a southern baptist church in the south. 99.9% of the people in this community who go to church have never once questioned what they were being told. If there is a God wouldn't he want us to question? If humans didn't question and say "what if" we would still be living in caves.

Wat the hell does this have to do with the ops suggestion that you go to heaven?
