accepted the volumes of descriptions that have been fabricated by all the earth bound geniuses? Trillions have lived and died on this planet and apparently have missed the boat. Just in the last 3 thousand or so years, man has invented how he wants it to be and has managed somehow to convince those who fear death how it will be. But..................he has failed to mention a few things. (A lot of things actually, but I won't go into them all.) a)Will you be issued a Toga and a pair of sandals?(If you are the modest type you should be concerned about this) b)Will there be others there that are Smarter or Dumber than you? c)Will you be given your own private living quarters or will it be a shared communal type thing? Hundreds of other questions but not here. Just wanted to alert the geniuses who continue babbling about their creation of a heaven, you don't know anything about God. It is all in your imagination or the imagination of others who have successfully brainwashed you.

You have opened your mouth, but not your mind..
God promises and completes his promise.. You just don't happen to know God and what he does. Others know him and are confident that he can do what he says..
Why do you care what we believe, you are not obligated to believe it. We know that we are right. Others try to attack our beliefs because they don't know what to believe and are insecure in their beliefs.

The alternative theory that there is no God is an invention of man. (A more recent for that matter). No proof. No idea how human life could have arisen, not to mention the not so siimple cell. All we are given is hypothetical just so stories peppered with scientific language to try and give it creedence. On close examination we find evolutionary theory that is presented as proof but they neglect to inform the public how much disagreement really exists over this shape shifting theory.

i believe in God and heaven and hell. i have opened my mind to many other possibilities but i have always came back to this belief. its just the way i chose to be and i dont really care what anybody else thinks about it. i am a marine and have killed, cursed God, and hated people with an extreme passion, and im not that smart either. so im not the best person in the world but i do know that it is childish to knock on someone elses beliefs just because you dont believe the same way. there are many different kinds of people in this world and no matter what comes after death we must all do our part to try to live peacefuly with one another while we are alive and keep ourselves from becoming so closed minded as to downgrade someone just because they think different than you. we are people not machines that have been programed to be the same. whatever is after this life one thing is for sure. you and me both will find out the truth when we die. so until then take it easy and open up your mind alittle

So what's your outlook on life?
Live, died, disappear like the dust that you were made from.
What is your sense of purpose, and to what end? until you can be clear on your life's purpose, the Atheist ideal is not logical to me.
An existence without a purpose is non-existence.
Indeed we all want to be happy. Some religion do seem outrages. I kind of settle that the difference between Atheist and God believer is that Atheist believe we just live and died, while God believer believe there is life after mortal death, and work and deed are accountable to God.
Is the Atheist's work or deed accountable to someone? Or does he need to be accountable to anything? why need to be accountable at all? What is the standard? If no God to follow, what "man" are we following? What rules or norms are valid?

Yes, we do. For most of us, this is a result of long and critical thinking -- not of blind acceptance.
Asking about togas or living quarters in Heaven is, no offense, kind of childish. But understandable in a way, because it's hard to image a place that is above such things. Believing in God and in Heaven truly requires a person to think outside the box.

God has never lied to me, and He never will.
Jesus said in John 14:2-4 "In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."
Philippians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Rev 21:27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Yes I do believe there is a heaven. And no, my faith is not blind. I've spent about ten years studying the bible, that is why I believe it to be God's word.
I don't know exactly what will happen when I get to heaven. But I do trust it will be beyond my human understanding in its beauty.

I see it the other way around. Those who do not believe have closed their minds to the possibility that anything exists outside their limited view. If you can't use one of your 5 senses to prove it...then it isn't real. That is being very closed minded.
You say the geniuses "don't know anything about God." this statement implies that you do. So won't you enlighten us?

People are silly: how in the world can we believe the teachings of "words" from "God" when God can not "talk" to us...you fools out there.
God is a nothing but a spiritual energy that pays attentions to the force of your soul, and its positive or negative.
All religions of the world (but I'll reserve this judgment from the Buddism) were only created as propaganda to control the world.

Think about this, does it matter? I KNOW there is a heaven, I don't care if i have clothes or sandles or a house it doesn't matter me the only thing that does is that I will be with my Lord Jesus and his father and I will see my family.

Your question should be turned around and asked of you. Have you "ever opened your mind?" Read the book "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" by Josh McDowell. Then, I challenge you to, read and STUDY the Bible.
