If you will die tonight were will you go?

I will go to heaven because I have confessed not only my sins, but that I believe in Jesus and been saved. So, God forgives me of every sin, and thankfully, I will be going to heaven.

Of course. Karma is present in both Hindu and Buddhist religions, and as you'd know if you'd have bothered to do a bit of simple research, both of these religions have many holy scriptures, prophets, etc. who have all described the law of karma as a universal justice.

If I die tonight, I will go to heaven and be with my Lord Jesus Christ.

You think you will.

You hope you will.

You've been taught/conditioned into feeling both of the above.

Nothing more.

[schudder]

I agree with that. There seem to be a lot of people on these forums (and probably in the US and other religious venues on this Earth) who blindly believe that when they die they'll go to heaven and meet this Jesus dude or this God guy who's gonna save them and give them eternal, blissful afterlife or something. Seems pretty conditioned to me... Though I guess if they're right I'm pretty screwed... Denying the existance of God and Satan and blablablab and all...
Yeah, atheism roxxorz

(just so you know beforehand, I am not an atheist)

If their god is as hateful as the mentalities some christians present, I want no part of it, so I personally have no worries. In other words, if those folks are the ones in heavan, and you need to act that way to be there... do you really want to be there? Just because you've been told you should?

But seriously... they vehemently cling to this belief because it's all they live for. So if they admitted the flaws in their claims while still being literalist christians of a most devout nature, they would have nothing to live for.

And since survival is the strongest instinct in a human, the walls of denial shoot up amazingly.

[schudder]

Jep, denial is an incredible thing. It's probably the single most powerful thing the mind is capable of. Denying the painfully obvious.

Frankly, if I die, I really hope that's the end of it, cause heaven doesn't sound very appealing to me at all. Besides, who would want to live forever (even if it is afterlife)? Try going on for thousands of years, you'd get bored pretty quickly, I'll tell you that. Maybe that's why reincarnation is the only other theory of what happens after death that I can conceive as being plausible. Cause that way, your spirit lives on, but you don't really remember it, so that kinda takes away the boredom.

Just a question to you, nowhere, what exactely are you then? Are you agnostic or satanist (I noticed satan in your title) or something else?

Whoa whoa whoa... you guys are going crazy. What proof do we Christians need to show you that God exists? We Christians say that God created the heavens and the earth. Most atheists believe in the "big bang theory" in which matter came together to form a small, dense area of something. This something later exploded into what we know as the universe. So in the beginning, Christians say that there was God, and a proportional statement that would support atheists beliefs would be "in the beginning, there was dirt." I honestly believe that if you people spent more time looking into religions, you'd find Christianity as one that actually makes sense.

For those seeking to find information regarding Christianity vs. evolution, I highly reccomend minding the documents at http://www.drdino.com/

Neil:

Why do you insist that "...Christianity as one that actually makes sense"?

Religions do exactly what you are doing in your arguments. You are defending the religion and NOT God!

Because your family has wealth you think this is some proof that Christianity is the only true religion, because of course God has given you all this wealth for being Christian!

How conceited! Are there no rich people who are not Christian?

You have spent time telling us how wonderful Christianity is and how being a Christian has made you and your family rich. Does God enter into this anywhere? Are we only allowed to be rewarded by God if we are Christians? Did your family do any work for their money or did it just fall in their laps from the sky?

Lots of people who don't even believe in God, let alone Christianity, are rich beyond belief and continue to get richer. How do you explain that then?

Maybe you should concentrate less on worshiping and promoting the religion and more on the God that is meant to be behind it.
