There is more than one way to heaven.

[theVOID]

Am I being lumped in with 'their reasoning'?

I have a problem solving mind and when someone poses a problem my little brain tries to come up with a solution, whether I believe in the premise or not.

Agreed, there is NO evidence for reincarnation BUT, IF it were true then that might be an answer to the problem.

Just how Darwinian, does your suggesting how someone else might answer a question make that a reflection on your own reasoning?

I was mocking the fact that some people would actually accept that line of reasoning, which is what i assumed you were trying to show, a potential answer that would actually be accepted by some, correct?

Your friend should have stated that in Christianity there is only one way to heaven. That would have been correct. Out in the real world, there are many more uses of the word 'heaven'. So she is incorrect.

My mistake. It's just that you were quoting me and I thought that you might have thought that I was thinking that the thought that.... Anyway..

Well, just why we are on topic:

Your God would allow someone to be born, raised and die under the faith of another religion, of which the standard of evidence is exactly the same as your own, with no reasoning that can possibly be applied to make one religion more valid than any other, only to sentence them to an eternity of suffering for not being born into the right religion!

That is why i think your God is a bastard, amongst many other reasons.

Lol no worries mate. As for quoting i do that mainly to keep it in context, though i guess some times it's just habit.

I know you guys were just joking around and I didn't mean to jump in. Don't think I was offended, if anything I was just fishing for some conversation to keep me awake. However ...

Religion is a man-made construct based on something imperceptable and thus is falible to human standards. I feel all religions are equally in-valid. An eternity of suffering could be as simple as the nothingness prescribed by many people's beliefs here. If cold is the absence of heat. If light is the absence of dark then hell could be right here where we make it, it could be nothing or it could be the absence of God's love (in whichever form you get it).
