i know i have lots of problems too , but i ask forgiveness everynight and morning and do try best not to.....

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...

Back when I first got into exploring religion/spirituality I asked many of the same questions. I was told so long as you tried to live a good life you would get past the gate. For example, someone can have a bad day, if in general, they were living in gods example the rest of the time, and asked forgivness at some point.

The kicker was you needed to accept christ. I tend to wonder if god would be willing to send someone who lived well to hell, just because they never believed. Say, someone who helped the homeless, lived selflessly etc, but never found christ. Makes a guy wonder.

For the record, I'm not a religious cat, just have spent a bit of time thinking about it during this lifetime.

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!!:)
