OH SHIT SHOTS FIRED!!!

Everyone dies, sure, but there's zero evidence for your assertion that it's because we're being "called home" by a supernatural being, which is what makes your views on this so fucked up. It's like trying to comfort a child by telling it that the dog that was put down today is now in a magical land of sunshine and ice cream that dogs can eat without getting sick. Sure, it might make the kid feel better, but it's a fucking lie, and if your kid takes that assumption into adulthood then congratulations on creating a fucking moron.


Quote:Again this is two dimensional thinking. We are in the larval stages of life. death is our pupa. Are you one to mourn a caterpillar every time you see a butterfly?  Do you curse God when you see a cocoon? Or again will you mind not stretch beyond the end you see in death?


Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber.


You Christians really love your fallacious analogies, don't you? The difference there is that people actually see butterflies. There is evidence to establish what happens with butterflies. Conversely, there is no evidence that souls exist nor that they rise to heaven. What you're describing is more like seeing a caterpillar get squished under a boot and then saying to yourself "Oh, it's ok, he's a butterfly now...trust me."



Quote:How do you know he wouldn't have lived if their wasn't anyone there to watch over him?


Because there wasn't, and he didn't.


Quote:Actually I didn't.
I don't believe the boy is in heaven right now.


What a coincidence: neither do I.


Quote:This life is about choice, whether to be with God or spend eternity away from Him.


Nice assertion. Got any evidence?


Quote: That boy wasn't old enough to make that decision.


Based on which Bible verse?


Quote: So I believe that soul was re-routed to another host.


You beli... Facepalm


Clap Wow, Drich. Just wow.


"Rerouted to another host"? Sooo...you believe in reincarnation now? There's heaven and hell, and then there's reincarnation for a few random people? Did you hear or read this somewhere or are you just making it up because it sounds fluffy to you? You know some religions have purgatory, right? You could always jump on one of those bandwagons instead of pulling things out of your ass. At least then you could appeal to popularity to support your nonsense.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
