Yeah, Walt has damned us. But considering that Jesus and his guys were
not Catholic, and they must therefore be in Hell, we'll be in good
company, right? :)
 
Heaven, Hell, Karma, Reincarnation, whatever. You wanna know what
happens when you die? 
 
Wait a while. 
 
You wanna help people on Earth? Shut up and do something. Actions
speak louder than words. I give to charity, I volunteer my time, I
lend my radio voice to public service announcements. I don't preach. 
 
Probably nobody here listens to The Coup, but I quote one of their
lyrics quite a bit: "Let's make heaven right here just in case they're
wrong."
 
Surely, if you believe that God created man in his own image, that he
has a sense of humour. Lighten up. I'm wearing a t-shirt that says
"WWJD for a Klondike bar?" for crying out loud, and I haven't been
tossed into a fiery chasm of hellfire.

I knew someone would start preaching..  I'm not
interested in preaching.  Walt has not only told the
non-Christians that they are wrong, but anyone who is
not a member of *HIS* flavor of the religion.  It is a
shame you don't see how silly that is.

Hey, your guilty too!  You believe that YOUR
denomination is the correct one..  However, the
Mormons are correct, they even said so in South Park!

What about before humans invented this concept of God?
 All of those people are in hell, or the cheap seats.

I don't consider myself an atheist.  More of an
agnostic, which is why I enjoy these conversations.
Frankly, I think you you (Walt) and I had this
conversation in person I would likely walk away
because you preach too much.  However, I am happy for
you because you have found an element in your church
that makes your quality of life better.

Your so interested in my belief?  I say, if there is a
"Supreme Being" that created the universe I highly
doubt the being did so for the purpose of us to
worship it.  Being raised Jewish, we had no concept of
"Hell", or the devil.  For that reason I don't feel
the need to behave a specific way for fear of some
eternal torture.  Judaism failed in this respect,
because they did not scare me in to continuing to be a
member of the synagogue (they don't get my money).
Does that make me evil?  I don't think so.

What God wants, God gets. God help us all!  :)
If he (she, it) wants me to worship him (her, it),
then send a CRYSTAL CLEAR message to do so.  Leave no
room for interpretation.  Otherwise, how important can
it be?

Some questions cannot be answered.  Some choose to
blame/give credit to God.  I choose to just accept the
fact that I may never have the answers.
