Mythology rears it's ugly head yet again

I feel sorry for them as they will all be burning in the fires of hell.They choose to not to believe in God .I chose to believe they will burn for all eternity as a result of their disbelief.I will lobby and fight to keep the few religious freedoms we have left.The bible states that EVERY knee shall bow,believer and non-believer  alike and all will confess that he is Lord.Hallelujah!! Praise and glory to God!!

I simply refuse to believe that this is anything other than someone having a bit of a laugh - knowbody can possibly still speak like this in 2008. Its like a going back in time.

What I don't understand is why people like that even want Atheists in their heaven. I sure wouldn't want people I didn't like in my little corner of paradise. Leave us all alone-if we're going to he11-good-your heaven will be less crowded.

Every knee shall bow.

Every time I read this thread title I think of Tanya Harding's thugs. Perhaps they're available to increase enrollment through fear of raps on the knee.

Ok...don't hit me....I believe.....

Scene:  A giant cross-shaped ship approaches the Enterprise, burning copies of the Constitution for fuel.  "I am Nedflanders of Christ. Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been is over. From this time forward, you will service us."
Picard:  "Worf!  Shields to full!"
Nedflanders:  "We are the Borgs for Christ. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our banned list. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."
Worf:  "It's no good, captain!  Bible tracts reported on decks 2 through 7!"
Data:  "They've accessed our mainframe.  All science documents are being overwritten with 'Answers in Genesis' pages."
Picard:  "Launch Darwin torpedos!"
Worf:  "Minimal effect.  They've raised anti-intelligence shields."
Nedflanders:  "Logic is irrelevant. Resistance is futile. We wish to salvation ourselves.  You will escort us to sector 777 where you will be converted.  If you attempt to intervene, you will burn in hell."
Picard:  "Fire the Ingersoll phasers--full Dawkins strength!"
Data:  "It's working, sir.  Borgs for Jesus are retreating."
Picard:  "For now, Data.  I fear we may have overdone it.  By using our atheist weaponry, Borgs for Jesus now regard us as a grave threat to their very existence.  They will be back...."

And what about the really unfortunate ones without knees to bow...will a note from their doctor excuse them?

With all of the troubles being created by religous fanatics who can blame them???

God will forgive them

Knees, like teeth, will be provided.

Once again. I will never bow to some imaginary wizard up in the sky somewhere.

The whole Idea is ridiculous!

One of the many reasons I see no reason to believe in religions is that they are so obviously the inventions and writings of primitive barbarians.  Just look at the god of any of the major monotheistic religions.  He doesn't act like an omnibenevolent, omniscient, omnipotent being.  He acts the same way you'd expect a barbarian to act if given unlimited power.  Gods are just idealized projections.

Indeed, the very notion of "every knee shall bend" is just more of the same.  It's a powerlust desire for the conquest of one's enemies, or anyone not in the "us" group.  Such a god is not a beneficient guardian, but a vengeful authoritarian conqueror.  Even if I believed in some type of god, this god is one utterly unworthy of worship, praise or adherence.

I have always thought that all the gods ever written about act like spoiled Brats, and that they needed someone to put them over a knee and spank the daylights out of them for eternity.

I don't know about an eternity, but I'd like to spank the goddess Venus for tonight...

heaven and hell occupy the same space. It is a matter of perspective.

This is one slow moving thread. I'm going back to religion and science.

For sure...one could wait weeks for a response, perhaps if they changed it to How do you feel about religious people, there might be more activity.
