OK so I have heard that the soul will be physically punished in hell beaten, tortured, burned Ect.How exactly would a soul would a soul feel pain or for that matter pleasure? How is fire going to have effect without the physical body which remains on earth. This whole weeping and gnashing of teeth sure does sound like a load When your teeth & eyes along with your decaying remains are ON EARTH buried six feet under or cremated. Does this make any sense?

Okay - I've been reading all the arguments about God and creationism and who believes what...but when it comes down to the real meat of the matter...isn't it our actions that count? If there is a "reward" after death, do I have a better chance of getting it if I'm an arrogant believer who demeans those who don't believe what I believe, but I go to church, read the bible, and pay my dues - or do I have a better chance if I'm indifferent to the existance of a higher power but live my life honestly, kindly, and compassionately?

Have an answer for this question, Is christianity a facist religion?

The history of christianity is in Rome about year 300-400 there was a war between christians and pagans because of their beliefs. Then later on the vatican gave orders to dispose of the africans if they did not become chrisian because they were called inferior. Where the vatican moved into the Mexican area they were given orders to slaughter all non-christian Aztecs because otherwise they were barbarians. And recently I've looked into this issue and I've seen articles with such titles as non-christians should die, athiests will go to hell, and even know unions such as the KKK and National Socialits Union want to eliminate all christians.

Do you feel Yahoo Answers is an appropriate forum to attack "people"? For example, is this an appropriate forum to attack "Atheists" or "Christians" or "Muslims"?

Or

Is this an appropriate form to ask questions about "AtheISM" or "ChristianITY" or "Islam"?

Now, I am all for rhetoric and satire. I do it every day.

But, there is a difference between attacking "CreationISM" and attacking "CreationISTS".

I'm sure I've broken down and attacked people. For that I was wrong.

I can do better.

Can you?

Comments on the following from your personal perspective or the perspective of your faith?

"The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry man; the coat hanging unused in your closet belongs to the man who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the man who has none; the money which you hoard in the bank belongs to the poor. You do wrong to everyone you could help, but fail to help." ~ Basil of Caesarea (a.k.a. St. Basil the Great)

When people mock religious questions here on yahoo answers? I know everyone is allowed to have their own beliefs and opinions but why do people find it necessary to mock or even openly hate other's beliefs? If you do not agree with the religious questions being asked on here, you do not have to answer them or read any questions in the religion section.

Is it wrong to not make your faith seem obvious?

It's annoying. Your constant rudeness towards others is strange to me. You are supposed to remain silent unless your are directed by the person or God to help them or someone else. So what are you doing? Trying to press your views on others? Yes you are. Now of course you can't go saying something along the lines of: "Atheist always are rude to us so we can be rude back!!1!one!!1" Well i don't think atheist have a Bible not telling them to be rude mean and nasty now do they? No? That's what i thought.

Thank you for this soap box speach that makes no sense!

Now for my question:

What do other relgions see christanity as and what do christian see other christians as?

Just woundering. (No i can't spell)
