Where do you believe heaven is? Is it in the sky? and if so, how far into the sky? Why is it that so many of you don't realize that their is a universe out there billions and billions of light years big that keeps expanding? There is scientific evidence to prove it. Pictures ,information, and data from the Hubble telescope. Astrophysicicists who do studies showing the big bang theory is most likely correct. Do you believe that heaven is a place at the end of the universe or within it? Also, where is Hell then? When I was little I believed in God, Heaven, and Hell.... then I grew up and realized that it didn't make any sense because earth is not the only planet. How do you guys make sense of it all. Do you think hell is at the core of the earth or something? If so, why do you think this planet is so special? And please don't quote the bible. I want to know what you guys really think.

I was praying for a guy who was possesed by a demon and as the guy was trying to crawl away I saw what looked like a clear humanoid figure about 4 foot tall crawl out of the person and bolt into the wall and that person was fine. I have heard of people seeing demons during minnistry and I was curious if this phenomenon had been seen before?

What it looked like was a humanoid vaporous figure like a gas fume type thing. I could see the light bending a little. I guess the best way to describe it is it looked a like a person who is cloaked in Halo video games.

I was talking to an acquaintance today and the subject of going to Church over Christmas came up. I said that I would not be going as I wasn't a Christian he seemed first amazed, then shocked and then angry. I was perfectly polite and not deliberately provocative so why the anger? I'm not insulted that he does not share my beliefs.

Joachim and Anne are believed to have given Mary to the service of the Second Temple when the girl was three years old. Many theologians believe that the priests of the Second Temple (and other churches) performed sacred rituals on these virgin girls who were in their service. These sacred rituals were nothing more than sexual intercourse. Evidence of this can be found in todays catholic society were the priests molested the young boys... Maybe this is how Mary became pregnant... I rest my case...

I've just read a question that said that all christians are delussional and should be put in an assylum.
Look, I'm Athiest and I don't go around telling ppl that god doesn't exist and they're delussional.
But I also don't like Christians coming up to me telling me that I should believe. I cannot tell you how many people have told me that I need help and that I am a lost soul.
I think we should all just get along, believers and non-believers alike. What's the point of trying to convince someone that won't listen? I know I don't, do you?

Did you know Morpheus from the Matrix laid a huge silent, fart before asking Neo..."you think that's air you're breathing?" I swear, Neo couldn't help but inhale all of Morpheus' foul odor. The cast couldn't stop laughing and the joke ruined over thirty takes.

If someone decides not to trust God and instead decides to go it alone, why would God ALLOW that person to be tortured by Satan and die?

Further, why did God prepare Hell for Satan - a place of eternal horror? God created Lucifer, who was closest to God - Lucifer rebelled, etc....

If God creates his creation with a "God shaped hole", and nothing will complete a being unless that Hole is filled with God, why would a creation (whether Lucifer, an angel or a human) reject that?

It seems like a flaw in creation, or at least in the religious philosophy of the world's major religions.

Then God makes the punishment for something that God Himself created, namely, freedom of choice, to be eternal torment?

What creation (Lucifer, Angels or humans) would choose eternal torture? One cannot deny the New Testament Hell, and noting that, makes God seem so very dis-compassionate and intolerant of something inevitable within His own creation.

In other words, at what point do you think God decides whether you're going to go to Heaven or Hell? And what percentage of people do you think go to either place? Answers from all viewpoints and religions are accepted and encouraged.

I was watching Helena ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=WcwweoJDkV0&feature=related ) and I told my co-worker that Gerard Way is my boyfriend and he believed me totally, I even showed him the fake picture of our wedding ( http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g174/kimnc28/bride2020Groom623.jpg ) which is fake and did for mere fun (oh, yeah.. I'm having fun with that pic, LOL)

Am I going to heck for lying this WAY?

seriously, my co-worker thinks now that Gerard is my real life boyfriend and I feel a little.. LOL guilty.

Pangel, if you're reading this... BACK OFF, HE'S MINE!
