My views on religion

[JaySimon]

Here is a question along those same lines...take the above statement...And now throw in all the non-christian people, and I dont just mean non beleivers, I mean people from other faiths. Are we actually to believe that they are ALL going to hell??? How big IS this place??

I know one thing...Im getting buried in shorts and a bermuda shirt just in case!!

Valid points for sure. Would god really want to send only a fraction of the population to heaven? If so, what happened to god/jesus loving every one of us? Or is it conditional love, such that we must love god for god to love us?

So many questions, so little time.

thats my issue the guy who lives by the golden rule yet is sceptical gets the boot while the little boy diddl'n, money stealin priest gets a pass....

no i am pretty sure that guy will get the boot to Bogger.
it is a huge issue with religion of any faith when peeps high up on the chain do things like that, turns many people away as it is human nature to take the easy way and judge all peeps in one group by one guys actions. we see it every day when azz hats do stupid crap on their atv,sled etc and we all pay for ones actions.
You can live life as a good person but like it says in the bible you only get to the father through Jesus, and acknoledging him as your savior,i dont know and dont claim to know for sure what will happen if ya dont. but i do know i will try to get to the big guys house, whether it is real or not, rather than take the chance of the other place cause if we believe in the one we gotta believe in the other.
i do believe there is an afterlife, i have witnessed it as i typed earlier in the thread, we are all going some where but even as a believer i am still unsure of where that is.

but i sure i hop i will be able to go sleddin there, year round if possible, if not hell better not be to hot for the boat.:d

no if you read the bible it does say he loves us all, we just have to love him back to be saved. live life by the ten comandments and i think we would all be good.
ten rules to cover all the laws in the world. jmo.

Well, as long as you ask forgiveness then you should be able to do whatever ya want...that right there is the problem...

I live my life as if it was a journey as opposed to a destination...here is a thought, dont be a dickhead during the day, you dont need to ask forgiveness at night...

What happens if you a dick thoughout the day, get hit by a bus and killed at noon, and dont get to ask forgiveness that day, now its too late??

Points to ponder my misguided friend...

my kids say sorry all the time too...doesn't mean they'll get to go to the waterpark....

i have been trying to change , i read my bible way more, lately ive found i haven't read it enough , this is why ive been talking this way..........sorry about it.

sorry clayton... not meaning to single out a specific religion..and I don't judge all based on the actions of a few... I respect your right to your own beliefs as you respect others....

I hope there is something...I get bored real easy and would go stir crazy if there is nothing...

It's such a cool topic because of the stakes... and that grooms passion...

people are passionate over politics because it affects thier life
people are passionate over religion because it affects thier afterlife

I kinda like the beer one....

It will be warm there...

This Diablo character must be a pretty power full mofo to wreak so much chaos and mayhem all over the world, and all of it right under your gods nose too!

the devil is not some mofo that is able to do anything... the devil is that little voice in everyone of our heads that wispers dig out you shotgun and go take care of those lesbian neigbours of yours that keep calling the cops everytime you load or unload everyone of your "toys". as soon as a person listens to that little voice and takes action to what its saying then the devil takes hold. "thank god" most of us are sane enough to shut out that voice and only "daydream" the crazy chit we do. can you amagin how screwed up the world would be if every single "dark" daydream we had accualy came true

the devil is very powerful, only non believers will deny that as if they dont believe in God they can't believe in the devil, just sayin.
mallard nailed it on the head with his post, he trys everything he can to get into our world any time he can. he has no problem with us doing what we want when we want and the farther we get from God the closer we get to him. jmo.
imo the absence of God in a persons life can lead to the turmoil that is some peeps life. if i had never came to God i can honestly say i would be doin 25 life right now. i needed some one to be accountable to and God was it for me. just saying
am i right in my decision? was i reaching for something and he is my crutch i grabbed? all questions i cannot answer with 100% acuracy but since then 11yrs ago, life has got way better for me.
i will find out one day whether it was right or not but until then i am happy with my decision.

Which bible is right......A god that will inflict terrible hardships, and probably death for even thinking out of turn, nail you with a lightning bolt, or put a plague upon the land......

Or...

The, no matter what you do, just re-cant on your death bed, and your in ?????

what if he repents and says he is sorry? isn't that what your faith is based upon, forgiveness?

i do believe there is an afterlife, i have witnessed it as i typed earlier in the thread, we are all going some where but even as a believer i am still unsure of where that is.

I don't mean to be insensitive to the loss of a family member, but it has been medically proven that nearer to the time of death many endorphins are released causing hallucinations and nonsensical rambling. you witnessed what you wanted to witness, not a factual event proving there is an after life.

again, please do not take my comments as disrespect to you or your deceased family member, RIP.

This one grates me as well. Can someone live a life of misdeeds only to repent and be accepted? Again I asked that question when I was younger and the answer was always something along the lines of, 'well yea, but how do you know when you are going to die?' A fair response but it seems like such a cop-out that someone can just repent and be saved, potentially after doing many atrocities.

Shining example is the following, General Butt Naked, who fought in Liberia during thier civil war. He is now a preacher who has been saved. This man did things that would make anyone cringe. Does he get a pass if he saw the error of his ways?

Read this at your own risk, there are some pretty horrific things mentioned, and some even more disturbing stuff not mentioned...

yes we are supposed to forgive, is there a limit i don't know nor professto know, that is his decison not mine, and i am not to judge on what his decision is.

on your second point i understand what you are stating however, not sure if i mentioned this part or not ...... but....... i had never seen this guy before thios day and did not see him again until after the luncheon and we were looking at the pictures.
so on that point how do i possibly "imagine" seeing someone whom i had never seen before to be the exact likeness of who he really was even gave me his name etc when i was talking to him. had never heard of him prior to this either. his wife who was alos with him wasn't even in the same picture as he was when i pointed him out to the rest of the family later on. it was a couple pages later in the album when i pointed out his wife.

not sur ehow that would work all i know is i saw an "angel" who knows buit there deffinitly is an afterlife in my opinion. seen enough proof for me top believe in that for sure.
