Are You a Good Person?

Well. That was about the creepiest thing I've ever read. Heaven must be pretty empty right now with their impression of what you have to do to get up there.

I understand that it is a bit pushy, there is no denying that. I guess I just meant that I would rather see someone hung up on the bible than on crack, and whatever. I believe in most of what the bible says, but I also realize that it is not God's intention that we follow it to the letter. However, obviously Candace and her brother see things in a much different way.

Religion is a very good thing, IN THEORY. Most religions are simply based on just trying to be a good person. But what I don't like about organized religion (especially Western religion) is that they ALL say that unless you follow that specific religion to the 'T,' then you're going to Hell. I do like on South Park how the actual only ones in Heaven are Mormans, though!

BTW, I don't know if this was a Catholic thing, but if it is, I like how they say "there is no purgatory," when the Catholic church JUST decided on that about a month ago, so as (to attempt) to make Baptizing(sp?) children more popular in southern Africa, where babies very often die early on. Somehow, I don't think it will work too well. A shame, since they changed the beliefs of millions of people worldwide for it.

hahahahahaha


{p.s. i think christianity without the aggression is a beautiful thing, and there are many aspects of it that i admire and wish to adopt or at least understand and respect. but since it seems that it cannot exist in our society as we know it without these implications of heavy repercussions and such, i'll stick to paganism for now, thanks.}

on a related note: anybody read god against the gods by jonathan kirsch? i want to buy it.
