Some of you claim that if the innocent are aborted, then they go straight to heaven. So, abortion would be a GOOD thing in that case.
However, you also claim that people who have never heard of (or never had the opportunity) to hear about jesus, go straight to hell. They don't pass GO, they don't collect $200.00.
So, which one is it? Foetuses certainly cannot have heard about him so if they're aborted they go straight to hell.
OR, if they go to heaven, then certainly, the people who have never heard the word go to heaven too. Right?
I mean you can't have it both ways can you? And if the latter is true, then the best course of action would simply be to keep quiet and not tell ANYONE about Jesus and all the rest of the mythological trappings, thereby ensuring that everyone would go to heaven.
Right?
(Of course, this is all patent nonsense, heaven and hell are myths, no more real that Oz or Narnia. This whole religion thing is designed to do this; separate fools from their money)

Is there a scripture that can back that up? As far as I've been told, tongues are a gift (A GIFT). Not everyone has the same spiritual gifts therefore everyone is not going to speak in tongues. Am I right?

Would really like your input on this, Christians.

Would He have to wait for it to cool down or could He just conjure a very localized snow storm above the coffee cup? If the answer is no, then does that mean He can't brew coffee very well, or that no coffee could burn His tongue, no matter how hot? Help please!

What sin that humans can commit warrants infinite torture in hell? Doesn't it seem a little overzealously cruel of the Christian god?

Was the Essene sect of Judaism mentioned in the Bible, Old or New testament? Also, what were Jesus' opinions on the Essenses and their teachings?

What is your view of God? Is He vengeful, unattainable, distant? Is He near? Can you be "friends" with Him?
And what is your religion/former religion if applicable?

And please, take this in the spirit it's intended, but atheists need not answer unless it's from the perspective of your FORMER religion, if you have one. If you have ALWAYS been an atheist, then I'm sure we all know what your view of God is: "He doesn't exist." *smile* Love ya anyway.

Just doing a little compare and contrast.

deuteronomy 21:18-20
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard."

how come if hes rebellious you are supposed to tell the priests/judges that he is profligate and a drunkard? who said anything about him being drunk? is there a mistranslation here?

"On behalf of all of us in the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, I wish to epress our sincere condolences a the passing of President James E. Faust. Although I am still getting to know people in Utah, I am nonetheless familiar with President Faust and his singular service to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to the people of Utah.

"I ask all Catholics to kindly keep President Faust, his wife, Ruth, his family, and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in their prayers, asking our loving God to grant President Faust the fullness of his eternal kingdom.

"May this just and honorable man rest in peace."

-Bishop John C. Wester of the Diocese of Salt Lake City


Religious differences aside, don't we all really wish the best for each of our fellow men and women?

I offer my personal condolences to LDS people everywhere and commend Bishop Wester for his kind interfaith fellowship of the LDS Church.

If the buddha was enlightened, and being enlightened means losing all desire, why did he try and spread his religion . . . or do anything at all for that matter. Shouldn't he have just lied down and waited to die?

To stay in context, it hurts like hell.

If wisdom teeth have intelligent design behind them, your god(s) really hate us.
