Idea about "Hell"

Daal... in your opinion how is it that the bible has maintained its integrity through the hundreds and hundreds of years it was held almost solely in the hands of the corrupt catholic church?

actually daal we are having this same conversation on another thread that is more appropriate... why dont we just continue on the other...

here is a link for anyone interested in following that question without jacking the topic of this thread.

where do you think King James got the resources and documents to translate?

all the documents had already been in the hands of the Catholic church. whenever anything (scroll, parchment, etc) was found it went straight to Rome! all the scriptures (except the original jewish Torah really) has been tainted by the hand of man allowed by the very free-will god gave us.

Maybe Heaven and Hell aren't places you go. Maybe its where you are. I've lied cheated stolen and such and it seems like a cycle you can lock yourself into. The lying and the cheating and stealing cuased me terrible anxiety. You have to live in fear of what people might find out about you. You don't get to have any peace in your life if your watching your back so it don't get stabbed especially if you know thats what you would do.
On the other hand if I do right even though it costs something from me. I feel good as long I know I did everything I could.

You will return to God at sooner or later, when you die and you hav'nt ascended there is a good chance you'll just be in the same consiousness as you were in when you died. In other words, you're already in hell.

Some bible quotes out of boredom

"Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God Almighty. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved." Psalm 80:19

"...Shout that the people are like the grass that dies away. ... "The grass withers, and the flowers fade beneath the breath of the LORD. And so it is with people. The grass withers, and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever." Isaiah 40:6-8

"And so the Lord says, "These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far away. And their worship of me amounts to nothing more than human laws learned by rote." Isaiah 29:13

ok, i can only take so much of the bible in one sitting

It sounds like a better deal than growing wings and flying around playing that stupid harp all day. If I had my choice, I'd take "hell" anytime - whatever it's like. Much cooler, IMHO. :thumbsup:

My Thoughts exactly. I dont believe in a god or a devil but i think i would prefer a lake of fire with my fellow agnostic, stoner, etc. friends over a magical place in the heavens with a bunch of people that havent "lived" and have stayed in church there whole life never experiencing life to the fullest. i just dont understand how you can worship someone that says he is a perfect beingthat does not "sin" than lies to the bitch about the fruit in the first fucking book!!!!
