Why would God sentance more than half of his children to eternal seperation from him (or if you go by another belief, seperation from him until he throws them all into a lake of fire)?
A relative seemed to think that it was all, the creation of evil and everything, in order to provide the basis of "Free Will" for the children who will go to heaven. But even he had a problem with the theory.
The more fanatical tend to tell me "You are trying to limit God to your moral code." Which, sorry, seems like a copout and not a way to answer the question.Of course I'm equating God to human morals and characteristics its what He gave me to work with.
Part of my own "free will" is to be curious about these things. And this post has no intentions in tearing down the Christian belief. Its an honest question.

Do you know a hooker with a 'heart of gold'?
I don't. Most Hookers I have gone with have ended up stealing something from me: A mobile phone, jewellery, an empty wallet, etc.
I dont take hookers home anymore now. I dont even let them in my car. I do it like in a alley way or in their place.

Have other men had this problem?

Nothing like Confession and the Eucharist to put a spring back in your step! Anybody else feel this way after Mass this morning?

God bless you and Merry Christmas!

Before human extinct? Not an imaginary one, please.

What is your opinion? Why?

I'm living in the most-Muslim-populated country where an ethnic or a religion war can happen at any moments...and I'm a minority if you're asking; Indonesia.

Once a person is "saved" can he or she sin enough to lose their salvation? or are they assured of heaven regardless of whatever they do?

Can you think of anything so terrible in your ife that you have done that would require a god to sacrifice his only "son" to save you from "HELL"?

Let's see.....

I ate shrimp.
I had sex without marriage
Oh my, I even had a baby out of wedlock.
I speed on the highway sometimes.
I have smoked pot
I have on a cotton blouse and silk pants.
I am divorced.

I have never physically hurt another person.

I have never intentionally hurt an animal, except I do squash cockroaches, this is Texas for god's sake.

I have stolen when I was younger but I am not an evil thief. I don't think when I shoplifted those earring when I was 12 someone should have to die for me to go to 'heaven".

I have never been with a woman sexually because I was BORN attracted to men. So Jesus did not have to die because I am gay.


So please tell me, this imperfect woman, what in my life made Jesus' death necessary?


Can that be answered and explained without bible scripture

When was the last time "God" held a gun?
When was the last time "God" chose to rape?
When was the last time "God" smoked cracked?
Is it safer to blame Him for our choices and the effects of it then to look at our own self destructing ways?
Opinions...be mature about it please

Is the bible/torah/Quran Holy if it was written by man and not by God?

most of these holy stories were carried by word of mouth till put on pen, could they have been diluted by the simple childrens game of telephone?

Does man have the potential to equal god, is man god within his own temple creator of life, thought, and emotion? by thinking that and believing i am god is that helping oneself like jesus preached.
