Loved ones in heaven?
October 6, 2011 at 1:33 pm
Ok, little lost on the idea of this.. ok. Jesus says when you go to the great big disneyland in the sky. that you will be able to be up there with all your loved one's. Ok if this senerio is true (chuckles) . What about the loved ones that go to hell. i mean obviously they are not going to be in hevean if they are in hell. so the only way is for the ones in heaven to go down to hell to see their loved ones. I'm not seein that written anywhere in the bible. Hense the reason that the bible was written by a bunch of drunk idiots that where seeing shit..because when you don't think shit through and make stuff fit. people will start to think. wtf is these guys talking about..

I think one life with my family is enough, thank you very much!
I'd rather be chillin' with cool people... Like Hendrix... Or Anton LaVey... Oh wait... i have the wrong place.

Yeah, I know what your saying. Heaven ain't heaven when you have loved ones in hell. Could you be happy in heaven knowing that your family members are being tortured for all eternity for the dumbest of reasons? Don't think so, you have to be a very heartless prick to not care or be unaffected. Which makes you wonder how the hell you got into heaven in the first place.
On one forum a theist said " You will be changed, so much so that you would no longer care, you'll be a different person". My response was "Then I would no longer be me, the person that I truly am would no longer exist", might as well send me into oblivion, the outcome would be the same.
If good people go to hell, then there is no heaven, for it would feel as hell with the knowledge of good people being tortured below you. I'd rather share their pain, rather than be in bliss and looking down apone them, watching them suffer.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

lol, my dad keeps saying that I need to believe in jesus and accept him as my savior because he doesnt want to live and eternity without me there. I'm like if that's the only reason hell no....lol sorry for the pun.. but i have raised my son to think for himself and to question everything. So that's shit right there that is going to get you sent to any form of hell no matter what. because for some reason "god" gave you the ability to think but punishes you for doing it. (must be one of those test things..lol) But i would rather spend and eternity in hell for shit that is fun with my family then and eternity in heaven doing what? because in hell the tell you what's going on but in heaven they really don't tell you.. just says that you will be weightless and happy.. your prolly up there kissing god's ass all eternity long. lol

Lol @ your dad. He's selfish.
I'm 26, I've lost:
Mum
Stepdad
Son
Best friend
Sadly I won't see them again. You Just have to live and get on with life and let those freaks waste there only time on trying to persuade people to waste much of their life chasing weird baseless fantasies thought up by goat herders. Ce la vie.
