I would still like to know whether a non believer who leads a good life will go to heaven or hell whilst a kiddie fiddling priest who has prayed to his god several times a day goes to heaven.

I won’t be disappointed i will go 6 foot under or up in a puff of smoke but with a clear mind :).

Homosexual pedophiles do not go to heaven, nor do false preachers, which is plainly stated in the Bible.

hth.

Religion is easily summed up. It is delusional schizophrenia that leads to cognitive bias & causes cognitive dissonance. If you are fine with those symptoms kindly keep them to yourself & leave reality for the rest of us.

OK now give the proof for your science based humanist dogma.

My invisible friend is better than your invisible friend, and my invisible friend says i should kill you (horribly) if you say anything different.

Deleted —- because what J. Boyle says is the best end to this thread.

As this rambling discourse reaches it’s inconclusive end, nobody appears to have noticed that the word GOD is DOG spelt backwards. I feel that we could learn lessons from our canine friends – all they require is simple but sincere companionship, a couple of basic meals a day, somewhere warm to snooze, and to have their tummy tickled occasionally. What could be better than that?

Yes and they can be trained to kill quite easily.

So what is your point?

Humans ascribe the stories and tales to a supernatural being.
And of course before the Christian god was “created” by man he worshipped so called pagan gods and icons and made sacrifice to them. The great Greek civilisation worshipped in just such a way.

No it was after humans walked away from the God of creation they started to worship false gods.

O.K. Christmas is over, so there is just one thing more to say………………………………………………………………………………………………….HAPPY EASTER……:D

But you forget there are TWELVE days of Christmas, plus the Orthodox celebrate Christmas on Jan.7 so that would put the last day of Christmas on Jan. 19.

Merry Chrismaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas.

Myself, I would be referring to the Holy Christian Bible, and the Christian Church…..There are many things mankind worships, Money, Power,etc, all in different ways, their Idols.
It’s a bit of the old “Which came first, the Chicken, or the Egg?”.thing.

There is no such thing as a single catholic church, using the term catholic in its proper definition.

Some Christian denominations in the middle east and North Africa, have a bible with more books.
The book of Enoch, being viewed by some as real and Rome as too far out, even though the Roman Catholic Bible has more books than what is called a Protestant Bible.

Modern genetics disprove the creation myth, without the creation myth there is no Adam & Eve, without Adam & Eve there is no original sin & without the original sin there is no need for a savior. At that point the entire christian myth collapses.
It REALLY is that simple.

Really, please give the source of this conclusion.

This is a common thought out there:

In 1987, a group of geneticists published a surprising study in the journal Nature.* The* researchers examined the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) taken from 147 people across all of today’s major racial groups. These researchers found that the lineage of all people alive today falls on one of two branches in humanity’s family tree. One of these branches consists of nothing but African lineage, the other contains all other groups, including some African lineage.

*Even more impressive, the geneticists concluded that every person on Earth right now can trace his or her lineage back to a single common female ancestor who lived around 200,000 years ago. Because one entire branch of human lineage is of African origin and the other contains African lineage as well, the study’s authors concluded Africa is the place where this woman lived. The scientists named this common female ancestor Mitochondrial Eve.
