Christianity: Ignorance or Bliss?

Question

I'd go with Ignorance, considering the low level of bliss involved in being burned at the stake.

Answer 1

I disagree - it is a little bit of both. Ok, a lot of ignorance, but a little bliss too - have you ever witnessed the joy on the face of a Christian who is lighting a witch up on the stake?? Its disturbing man...

Answer 2

Well, life in these time certainly isn't bliss. Ignorance, of what?
When do you plan to start burning us at the stake?

Answer 3

Either, depending on how one approaches the religion. If someone is a Christian like the religion is at it's core--a religion of forgiveness, love, and understanding, I would say bliss.

If they wave Christianity around like a flag and use it to try to prove their mistaken belief in their own infallibility, I would say that is sad, sad ignorance.

I pretty much think that applies to every religion, spiritual set of beliefs, or view regarding religion, including atheism. I'm an atheist that gets way pissed when other atheists go around making vast generalizations about Christians or people of any other religion, because the exceptions to the stereotypes make those generalizations so, so pointless.

Answer 4

Ignorance as they believe what they are told which creates a fear for control with that control it is amazing what people will do in the name of God or Religion

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it.
Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held.
Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books.
Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin.
Believe nothing just because someone else believes it.
Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true

Answer 5

Answer 6

I totally understand your frustration with the christian religion, it is like they are all lemmings,( I was one once myself) I was challenged to read the whole bible (king james version) about 10 years ago. I read the whole book I am no longer christian. The atrosities the god of the old testament created, allowed or promoted was too much for me to continue to believe that could be the same god of love the preacher professed to exist. I believe in a god of unconditional love that created our souls with free will (not humans) in his likeness. many souls could not bear to leave fathers side for the loss of love. many souls went out and returned to share their adventures. Some souls rebeled wanted to be a god themselves. This place (earth system) WAS CREATED FOR THE SOUL TO MAKE ITS FINAL CHOICE. Do they really want to be a "little God and live in dominion=lordship over others. or return to father of love/fellowship/joy/sharing/ab... bliss.

What if heaven and hell are exactly the same except for one difference? What ever you picture in your head heaven to be, imagine hell to be the same except for one difference. Everything you can do in heaven you can do in hell except for one difference. The difference is love or dominion. If you choose love you are in heaven, you are sharing love/joy/fellowship, absolute bliss in all you do.

If you choose dominion you are in hell, everyone will be dominion bent, acting without regard to anything but personal pleasure, personal gain, exercising power over others. Everyman for himself in all that is done. Everything else is the same.

Now which path do/will you choose? LOVE or DOMINION

P.S. Doesn't hell feel a lot like earth?
P.S. S. If you choose dominion click on exit, there is nothing here for you.
