    Heaven and Hell

    I don't buy it. I just don't buy it. I do not think that people are so wicked that eternal damnation is a justifiable punishment, just like I don't think the death penalty is justifiable in the world we currently live in. Plus, the eternal bliss of heaven, as I have already said, is just a...

    Yeah, what he said.

    Heaven and Hell

    And you have such a perfect conception of God? I don't not believe in God because I do not have all the answers or because I don't have the intelligence, or can't wrap my mind around it. I don't believe in God for exactly the opposite reason. I have thought about this issue non-stop for the...

    Heaven and Hell

    Don't you think that an all-loving deity would want us to question things like this though? I mean, just blindly following scriptures is a really difficult thing to do when you take a step back from them. It's like the whole Adam and Eve story. How did God, in all his infinite wisdom NOT...

    Heaven and Hell

    I have to hand it to you, Chris. You're holding up remarkably well against this onslaught from elcapitan. I guess what I was wondering was if there were new conceptions of heaven or hell that I wasn't aware of. The old ones simply don't work. There is nothing about those conceptions that...

    Heaven and Hell

    Umm... yeah, but... How does that answer my question? How does that make hell an undesirable place and heaven such a great place? Is there really an incentive not to sin, other than the intrinsic value of being a good and decent person (something that has absolutely NOTHING to do with...

    What is Love?

    P.S. to TheOutsider and anyone else who knows. How did you list yourself as a Discordian? I didn't see it on the list. Not that I'm a discordian. I just would like to know.

    What is Love?

    I disagree with this. I think if you love a person, it can't be real unless it's returned. You can't REALLY love someone that doesn't love you back. You can admire, look up to, respect, or be fond of someone who doesn't share those feelings, but you can't LOVE that person. I think to love...

    Two things

    How come Jesus only reigns for 1000 years? What happens after that? I don't know if you realize, but 1000 years is a lot shorter than eternity. And personally, while I'm not a big fan of persecution or violence, I do kind of like lust and hate has its uses as well. Just some musings. Your...

    Heaven and Hell

    I tried to post this in the apologetics forum, but since I'm a n00b, I'm not allowed. So let's talk about it as though it's metaphysics. That's philosophy. Here is what I tried to post there: Here's what's not right about heaven and hell. Assume they are real. They both exist objectively...

    Christians and Medical Cannabis

    I don't know what you mean by that. Almost all drugs have side effects. However, if you don't smoke marijuana--like if you ingest it maybe if you had some sort of THC aerosol delivery system--there are absolutely zero negative health effects from cannabis. There is literally no drug that is...

    Looking for answers

    :help:So, I'm a college student and I've been doing that thing for a while. College really has a way of making a person question their faith. And I'm here to see how you guys deal with that sort of thing. The constant bombardment, the way you deal with doubts, and rectify, perhaps, some of...
