Religion & Spirituality - 20 September 2006

If a child grew up in the wild, think like the jungle book. A feral child perhaps, but a hermit essentially who is cut off from civilisation. He lives a simple life, mainly because his time is spent constantly struggling to survive. He kills to eat but not with malice or cruelty. However, because of his environment, he does not believe in religion (perhaps through lack of mental capacity, perhaps because he has never been exposed to it). After a long and full life, the adult this child has become dies, and assuming 'religion' (by which I mean all forms and types) is true... how would he be judged, if his eternal soul exists and is destined to go somewhere... where would it go?

Its something I have been thinking about, I will add to this question with further questions and comments so perhaps we can make a debate of it as it is something that interests me.

Let's use common sense: Before you say anything in ur mind just think: The sky, the earth, the stars, the moon, the sun, can those things just create themselves. When u ask someone who doesn't believe in God he/she says evolution, but evolution, HOW?
I don't know abt you, but as for me I would rather go to HEAVEN as stupid instead of spending an eternity in HELL as ignorant. I'm sorry I'm not trying to offend anyone who doesn't believe, but I just want u to think a second time.
I welcome all opinions as long as it's not gonna offend me or any other people reading it.
thanks

I've heard that the CSKLT are also fishers of Men, but perhaps for more supper related reasons than His Grace Jesus was.

My mom who is hindu, (so am i), was raised in an upper class family in india. she was also born there. we are indian. when she was in i think high school, she went to a private catholic bording school there. she her whole life as of birth, has been a hindu. she told me, that during mass, she would take the communion. she said she did that because she believes in god. I go to a k-8 catholic school in chicago. during mass, should i take communion? I am hindu. Since people know I have never taken communion, care that I now am? does this mean i am a convert?

i recently got "laid off" at my job, well.. it wasnt so much me getting fired or anything it was just that i had a "testing time" where they'd see how hard i worked and theyd pretty much decide whether they wanted to hire me for another period of time. So this morning i went to work as always and after a couple of mins my boss springs up to me and says he wants to talk to me about my performance review and he basically said that i wasnt good enough apparently so we decided to end ''it'' on really good terms he said bye n i left now im gonna have to find another job and i have NO frickin' idea of what im gonna do with the rest of my life (thats in a nutshell, so dont take it like im loser or anythin'). How do you think i should try to find my way back in to reality and society (im 21 by the way) and really find my place in the friggin world?... ps. i got a whole lot of things i wanna do, im just confused about which one to choose, thats all. thanks and sorry for the long story!

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
