wow, did God grant you some judgmental power or something? just curious. And no. heaven is not real. Humans created that a few thousand years ago along with Christianity to control and manipulate people. This goes with the bible also. I want to let you know that organized religion is only holding your spirituality back. Do you like people telling you what to do, how far to go, and how to think? well this is what religion is doing to people with their spirits. There is room for God outside of religion, there is actually more room. It is not guilt ridden and sometimes like religion can be. having your own spirituality is more creative than being held back in any religion. I probably lost you on my first sentence. Just remember that being spiritual was around before Christianity was. and God was also. Every religion has some truth, but no religion has all Truth. You can only come close with a personal spiritualism outside the boundaries of religion. good luck in your personal quest, I hope you are not finished right now.

Actually, that's what Hinduism teaches, to a certain extent. The world cycles through 4 yugas or eras. In the first, the golden, there is a 100% good. Then we lose a 1/4 each yuga. We are currently in the last yuga, where there is only 25% good left. Religion is corrupted and most people don't follow it properly. When people stop following religion all together, it will be the end of time, and God will come to destroy/liberate all who are left and the cycle begins again.
But I do realize the point of your post. Nice satire.

Did man invent evil, then? There are certain priciples that will outlive man, therefore meaning that God created man for His own purpose, not ours. Don't get discouraged. God is there, He's still listening, He still cares. You sound like all the atheists have gotten to you! The end of the world is coming- just make sure you're in the right mind to recieve Him!!!

I don't believe the our existence will cease. No matter what is taught or believed to be true, you can still feel this "love" which is not created by man or woman. Between people who care for each other, there is where you find love, not a well thought up idea or belief. The love you have for a child or partner - that is something that can't be described- that is love from your soul/deep self - whatever you believe.

Eh, no. The universe did perfectly well before religion was invented, and it won't suddenly implode because people stop believing fairy stories. The stories themselves won't even go away, because people can appreciate the Bible as a work of literature without believing it.

Contrary to what some people believe, when religion falls, it will usher in a golden age for mankind. No more religious wars, no more faith in God crushed by reality, no more suicide with the promise of paradise in the afterlife, no more living in fear of eternal damnation, no more multi million dollar churches built when we could be building schools and hospitals and emergency services and houses...
I'm not saying people who have faith are bad people, I'm just saying that life would be quite different without organized religion and theocracies... and no, creativity does not come from religion, otherwise where did the illiad and the odessey come from (assuming that the greek gods are superstition)?

religion will have absolutely nothing to do with the end of existance, though it might probably have something to do with the end of mankind. More people have been killed in the name if GOD then for any other reason whatsoever, all of you religious nuts are supporting genocide and murder through your beliefs.

Wow, no hadn't really heard of that, but why would religion fall? I can't see that happening any time soon.
But in the mean time, two more points for me and finally into level two!

you dcide if what i'm goin to ask you would make sense to your gray matter. supposed that you died and ther is no God, and you don't believe in Him, then your fortunate and happy that you have done all your wishes. but if there is, that's the most terrible predicament in the history of our existence. if i believe in God yet He does not really exist, i'm still satisfied with my imagination coz i found my sense of purpose i did not lose anything. there's nothing really to lose if you believe in Him, after all there is great reward hehe. email me jon_giox@yahoo.com.ph

Quite the contrary, when religion falls, people will find other stuff to preoccupy themselves with and fight about. It's just people's nature. The world would probably be a better place...
