I woke up this morning to discover I had turned into an insect.

You won't think it's so funny when flame resistant worms are gnawing at your flesh in the eternal burning coffin of hell. Meanwhile your buddies to the right and left of you who are tithing like good Christians will be drinking Mai-Tai's in a tropical oasis, their children playing safely with venomous snakes and lions and shit.

All of which I will find mildly entertaining as I move on to the next realm instead of confining myself in a further part of this one. :D

What's so hot about heaven?

At least the suicide bombers get 70 virgins.

Heaven? Who said anythng about heaven? That would be like saying I'd go to hell. <shrug> Since to believe in one you must believe in the other both are figments. I speak of moving on to a new life elsewhere. Where and what it will be like are great questions. Questions only answerable by experience! Afterall, I don't think we can know what the afterlife will be like until we get there, where would the wonder and exploration be if we knew where we are going and what we are doing once we're there? It has to be more mysterious than that! But then most people are unprepared to accept that this is just a step and not the ultimate end of your life experiences. Not merely the end of your experiences in this realm!

Hell is described in the Bible as several things. A lake of fire. Home of Satan, but the one that is continually said, that is meant to be the worst, is utter and total separation from God.

People who aren't christians may not understand the implications of that... but I know, humans were meant to commune with God. Being isolated from him from eternity is panamount to the worst degree of torture.

That's why I pray, and hope everyday, that people who don't see, or have faith in, the truth the way that I do, will come to an understanding and begin their own communication with God.

I think it's really creepy that you pray for people without them knowing it. A lot of people think it'ssweet when people say they're praying for them, annoys the heck out of me, so I've formally requested to be left out of prayers. I guess I need to do the same here. If anyone feels the need to mention me in their prayers please don't!!!!!

Not to go into a ton of detail, but not only am I going to heaven, but I tithe. :p

So I won't have to deal with flame resistant worms gnawing at your flesh in the eternal burning coffin of hell.

In heaven their is no pain. In heaven my body won't hurt, and my soul won't bleed. In Heaven I will run and not walk. I will skip, I will jump, and I sure won't be sitting. Heaven could be the most boring place on earth (which I don't believe in), but I don't care as long as nothing hurts.
 
I'm sure there's some kind of hereafter, I just don't personally know any dead and returned people who can tell me about it. I guess it's the one surprise I'm content not to unwrap now or shake in hopes of finding out, I'll find out when I get there.

Hashem knows the good and the shitty things I've done and the shitty things for which I actually have atoned, genuinely. We Jews generally believe that just about everyone winds up in the same afterlife, in my very limited understanding of my own faith. (the afterlife gets SCANT mention, the main action seems to be on the earth. Most of the wicked seem to get smote or smitten. A lot of perfectly good people get smote and smitten too, and this seems a very realistic depiction of the world as it actually is)

That means my whole family will be there. You could call it hell or heaven on those grounds. Oy.

Now I hope for the blissful nothingness of the moderns and the existentialists.

I think we're supposed to be thinking about the here and now anyhow, and what we can do on this silly little rock we call earth that might be the right thing.

I think we're supposed to do the right thing because it's the right thing to do, not because of what may or may not happen after we plotz.

G has accused me of sounding too much like Maimonedes, I guess I really am Jewish after all.

I'll have to pray that you change your mind on that. :D


Hahaha.

You know what's funny? There is talk that that portion of the Koran may have been mistranslated. The word for "virgins" is similar to the word for "expensive raisins". I sure would be pissed if I got to heaven, expecting 40 virgins, and I got 40 raisins.

Anyway, did Allah ever promise the virgins would be hot? I mean, hell, maybe he's got a pile of undesirable uglies waiting? hahahahaha

(that's so wrong)

Go grace go!

Is it just me, or is it awesome when someone comes to your defense? It's like the ultimate internet expression of kinship. :)

Yes, ha ha has make everything better. I haven't said, "Takes one to know one," since the second grade, thank you for bringing back childhood memories

Big difference between age comments and maturity comments, remember dear, I'm a lot younger than you.

Woman, didn't you ever listen to your grandmother? If you don't have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.

Your postcount would be cut in half if you had been using this philosophy, methinks.
 
No Xelebes I don't think you are. Anyways, is it just me or are people taking this far to sewriously? Perhaps it's just the vodka, but I doubt it. Never take life (or any part of it) too seriously...you'll never make it out of it alive! (Wow that took alot of effort to write..bout wore out my backspace key!)

I think you're still bitter over me really really disliking you. If you have a problem with me, put me on ignore, it's easy.
 
wheeee! pointless religion argument! :D

Okay, on a serious note though, I am really bothered when people "Pray for me", I don't believe in the same things they do, in fact I probably believe that thier beliefs and destructive and idiotic, in all honesty, praying for me rather contradicts the purpose, and it mocks me.
