Basil the Great said:
QUOTE="East of Eden, post: 75767896, member: 433172"]Exactly. Satan would love people to have a false sense of security by thinking they're going to heaven. This is what Rod Dreher calls 'Moralistic Therapeutic Deism', the general belief that God exists, and wants nothing more from us than to be nice and to be happy.[/QUOTE]
I wasn't sure how to take Basil's comment. At first, I took it literally. You appear to take it the same way. I was a bit taken aback by this. I didn't realize that most here are under the belief that most people are on the road to Hell. Not so sure I'm among that crowd, myself. Then I got to thinking that maybe Basil's comment was sarcasm aimed at most here for conveying such a belief.
[Most here at CF would not approve of them, as the vast majority of near death experiences have positive outcomes and this goes against the belief that most people are on the road to Hell.
