Kally I was just curious about your mom...do you talk with her about your beliefs or does she not want to have anything to do with it. Sorry if it is a sensitive topic I was just curious...

No thanks, my mom is a True xian. I wouldn't want to spend eternity in heaven with her any more than you. Maybe if you and my mom both make it to heaven you could befriend her. She is know as the screaming, fundy, psychotic bitch from hell. She cannot stop mumbling "EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW ON JUDGMENT DAY!" Even one time when I called the police on her, she just kept saying that... I saved her from the mental ward that time. Don't know if I'd intervene again.

Have fun!

I can't carry on a conversation with my mother at all unless she tells me I'm going to hell.

I think you should start emotionally preparing now to spend an eternity in Heaven with myself, Sabine, Amos and Gemma.

What a cruel and evil god you worship.

Kally I sympathise with you on this and agree that she is now screaming from hell. They all are.

seems kind of similar to me.

(I would just assume drop this line of argument, but if you persist so will I. )
For your information, the presents brought by St. Nicholas foreshadow the gifts received at Epiphany. It is celebrated on Dec. 6, is for children only and will take them from belief to doubt to understanding. Yes, there is a judgement with the preceding tension and the day after Dec. 6 it's all over.

It is incomprehesible in places where the allegory has been commercialized so no more needs to be said.

I'm a horrible blasphemous strong atheist. You won't be seeing me in your other realm heaven? or where ever. I'll be down there, where ever that is. Maybe the center of the Earth? Most likely we'll all just be worm food.

I'm gonna have nightmares Hezekiah... except Amos would be fun.

By your own admission you are not seeing it now. The postition of the Church is that the fulness of salvation is heaven and this is available to Catholics only. This also means that not all Catholics end up in heaven.

Will you file a protest to God when you face all the folks you have established should not be in heaven? What if God were to not follow your reasoning? what if He were to disagree with your restrictions?


Doesn't it say someplace that we can just go right on in? and if not it is because of unbelief?
Quote:


now now Amos... in my simplistic faith not justified by reason or logic I do not take the place of God to evaluate who will spend eternal life with Him. I do not even venture to think that whoever does not believe as I do will be percluded from that eternal notion. I do not even venture theologizing on my own limited understanding.


It is not a matter of believing but a matter of seeing things (rishi). Why else would we need the mind of God?
Quote:

you will not be able to do it all over again Amos. Eternity is now.
There is nothing wrong with the way you live your life. In any case, your life is your life, mine is mine, and my reply was just a philosophic statement.

I would ask you if "eternity is now" why do you want to go anywhere else?

Maybe not, and I would agree that a lot of people "wanne go to heaven" but I am suggesting that the only ones that ever got there and told us about it are Catholics. You can read about them in literature and you can find their evidence in the arts.

"I wish I was like you. Easily amused." - Cobain

Only a simpleton would be impressed by such things. While there's nothing wrong with being a simpleton per se, there certainly is something horribly wrong with proposing simpleton ideas like divine corpse preservation as fact on the internet in light of all the information available to those who seek to objectively reason the validity of any given concept.

It's one thing for Billy Bob Jimbo Jr. to think that something so ludicrous could be evidence for the divine as he doesn't much get off the mountain, much less know how to type a url into an address bar, much less know what an address bar is. "Is dat da saloon next to da post office?" Awww, isn't Billy Bob just the cutest thing!

It's another to have access to the greatest learning tool man has ever invented and still believe such utter nonsense.
