Society & Culture - 9 July 2006

Most Christians will tell you that if you want to go to heaven, you've got to believe in God. Fair enough. After all, who would want to go to an afterlife that they don't believe in?:-)

Doing good deeds gets you bonus points (perhaps you go to a better class of heaven?) but the most important thing is that you believe in God.

So logically if you do loads and loads of good deeds (cure cancer, negotiate peace treaties, care for your ageing parents), but refuse to acknowledge the existence of God, you're still going straight to Hell, and your good deeds don't count for ****.

Poor old God. Does He crave your acknowledgement and affection so badly that He's prepared to ignore pretty much anything else you do in your life when He decides your fate?

If an adult behaved in that way, people would say they were very insecure. Although when dogs and young children behave like that, it's pretty normal and nothing to worry about.

What do you think?

Isn't that a huge sin, bad enough to get you banned from the promised land, or did I "misenterpret" that one too?

Banning is like going to hell forever, and a violation is a little like limbo...

If so dont you think it is funny that yahoo would give you a violation for what it allows itself. for instance when you click on my name, you have the option to look at my 360 page. Now you have that choice just as much as If i said look at it in my question...i dont understand yahoo..but it is not to understand I believe.

They both believe in the New Testament and in God, etc etc, but they must be radically different in some way because they seem to dislike each other.

I take this sight seriously...thinking and hoping that there are others out there who feel the same. We come here looking for answers from real people who understand real things...or maybe things just dreamed of; but it's a serious site for serious people...take the idiot clowns and drag on down the road!!!
