Dude, I swear that many of the people I went to church with were there only because they didn't want to lose the community. There is an undercurrent of screaming doubt that runs through my old church. It is like they all just agree to support each others ideas about God and Heaven because it would be impolite to let everyone in on the truth. It reminds me of how people get angry when you "ruin" Santa Claus for their children. I don't personally engage in such behaviors, just as I do not stand on a street corner bleating about an afterlife that consists of slowly turning back into the dirt from whence we came.

Fun fact: my pastor at the time didn't believe in hell because he didn't see how he could be happy knowing that people he tried to help were burning in hell. The story of Lazarus and the rich man made him think he would be able to see across the "chasm" as well so *POOF* no more hell in his reality.

How nice,
Rhizo
