Hard to ask intelligent questions when you are dealing with stupid concepts, like heaven.

I was not sure where to post this, but since it will have a long run and is going to be one of the signature issues of the early Biden presidency, I figured here would be the best place.

Biden is...

Why must you let Special hijack what could be a decent thread?

The bottom line seems to be that there is no one thing as christianity, just a lot of different religions, which like both Judaism and Islam admit to the spiritual relevance of Jesus but have...

Oh?

“For example, we believe that the Bible teaches that Jesus is the Son of God, not part of a Trinity.” https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/are-jehovahs-witnesses-christians/

Sounds like a bit of problem to me. Some christians aren’t christians because ....

So, tell me, who exactly gets to decide who are real christains and who are not?

So, at the end of the day, you are suggesting that the previous administration was essentially dragging its feet and prevaricating in an effort to set up to discredit the new administration?

But,...

They are not christians?

I got the invite all right, but when I responded, god said it must have been sent to me by mistake since, upon checking the guest list, my name was not one among the 144,000.

Thank god. To paraphrase Groucho Marx, I would never want to go anywhere that would have me in the first place.

This conversation has me even more convinced than ever that the god — at least the one apparantly worshipped by most christians — does not exist. That god seems to have been conjured up and...

Nope. I received a message from god recently. She said there is no heaven.

I am not clear whose religion this refers to (Valade’s, Brett’s) but I will say that while this probably holds true for folks who subscribe to the dcotrines promoted by the more conservative...

Yup. Since there is no such thing as heaven, it’s a win/win for the pope.

The rollout here in Connecticut has been fraught with problems and controversy. The are now numerous reports filtering out of people jumping the line or gaming the system. For instance, in one...

And yet look at all the feedback he gets here. No wonder he loves this site.

Interesting use of a figure of speech.

Deflection. And wrong.

Stick with the thread topic please instead of trying to hijack it even further.

Start your own on heaven if you wish.

Why apologize to him? He’s among those who helped it to go off topic anyway.

Take a look at the thread title.

At least we stayed on topic for almost three pages. Then it started to go awry,...

Take a look at the thread title, wich has has only a little to do with Christianity and absolutely nothing to do with heaven. Those are the off topic issues.

Try to imagine that religion is not...

There may be a god (doubtful, but I’ll allow the possiblity) but there is no heaven.

I see that more and more of the the Senate Republicans are publically joining Tom Cotton in opposing the impeachment trial (no doubt they were all privately planning on sandbagging it) under the...

If they elect her, they can have her.

First, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel.

Second, nothing like all the rats off a sinking ship.

For sure. And believe me when I say that I honor what you believe to be the truth, even if I do not understand it fully.

I admit that my interest in the Bible — and religion in general — is...
