Doesnt make one better, it makes one "saved".

If you see your whole exsistance written down, then you will not be able to deny what judgement has been imposed. It's like a legal document for all to see...

This leads to obvious absurdity.

"....[other things so-and-so did]
At 3:35:05 p.m. on May 8, 2003, so-and-so shat.
....[other things so-and-so did]
At 3:37:21, so-and-so wiped.
....[other things so-and-so did]
At 3:38:03, so-and-so didnt flush (one demerit, worth about 100,000 years in hell).
....[other things so-and-so did]
At 3:38:47, so-and-so exited the restroom without washing hands (5 demerits) and turned left down the hall.
....[other things so-and-so did, ad infinitum]"

That'll be some book. Can we listen to the really steamy, juicy parts? Will there be video, or at least pictures, as well?

Tarnaak, I think you need to pick a better format for your replies. The all bold and/or caps stuff is kinda ugly and hard to read. I'll leave your stuff in uppercase and not bold it here.


And you may want to consider a spell- checker while you're at it...

right

Also, if we were certain our dying loved ones were going to heaven, why the sadness at all? This makes no sense at all since for sadness to exist in witnessing our closed ones dying we must have some sense of death being final, not succeeded by an infinitely better afterlife.
Sadness referring to general state of human affairs, being sad that you lost your job ect.

It's more of a "i will miss you" sadness, but your right, one should be glad (outside of missing the loved one) in this case because the loved one will be in heaven ...

Actually there will be video and popcorn, but the popcorn won't stick in your teeth

"May 8, 2003 05:38 PM - Tarnaak posted a reply on the II forum using ALL CAPS due to laziness, and bolded, to boot. Laziness is a bad one, akin to sloth. 10 demerits."
