However christianity is not religion nor is it meant to be controlling, that is it's not meant for man to control man. Christianity is a relationship with GOD and a life of freedom. See NT for futher explanation.

Worshipping god is a form of control, the main purpose of christianity is to serve god and I am a free spirit. I would never serve or worship any diety, even if he showed me how magnificent his power is. I am slave to no man, no religion, no government, no god. I exist to serve only myself and I shall maintain my freedom.

Heaven is just a nice way to say prison, when you really think of it. Why do you believe your precious books say the angel lucifer rebelled, because he cannot love, because he cannot sin, he has no free will, he only existed to serve god and nothing more.

Oh and don't say not sinning is a good thing, almost everything a human being does can be considered a sin.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are. Big Grin
