This is the way christianity has been watered down. They have soft wishy washy visions of their superstition, thats why they can be mostly tolerated on modern societies. Islam is still the barbaric medieval cult christianity used to be, so it is causing more problems. They are both useless garbage and useless superstition, and all religions deserve ridicule, laughter and rejection.

@SkinnyWmn69 - This is correct. But my point was mainly that men could go to heaven despite the murder, adultery, rape (and for a small fee even forcibly marry the person they raped. Can you imagine being an attractive girl at the time with those laws? Reject a creep, he rapes you, you marry.) But that's digressing. lol

Despite all the crimes and genocide they created, women are forever "punished" for "eating the fruit." No matter how good she is. Lol

Just a minor joke to prove a point. ;)

Screw you and your message. Wake up and abandon your revolting superstitions. That's my message.

[baxtar2012]

Some Jehovahs came knockin on sdaturday and i invited them in. They talked about God and I talked about space aliens. They said that 144,000 of the best will go to heaven. I said so millions of good Jehovah's Witnesses will not get into heaven. They said yup. So I said so I don't have a chance in hell. They said if you work hard............I said get the hell out and see ya in hell because you guys failed to convince me of anything and God called on you to spread the word.

[ILiveForYou2412]

Everyone deserves to go to hell! We are not worthy of Heaven. But because GOD's Amazing grace, and the doorway of Jesus Christ, we are given the chance to accept him as our saviour, and spend eternity in Heaven. I pray that you all find Christ, so you don't have to spend eternity in Hell.

I think there's a big chunk of people who are like 'good people go to heaven, bad people go to hell.' some of which are like 'but only REALLY bad people, like Hitler!'

What can you say? They're nicer people then the alternative I guess!

[GummoNZ]

52% thought belief in Islam could get you into heaven, yet 56% thought no religious faith could get you into heaven.

@msdogooder Ok so imagine if came up to you with a knife and said 'give me your money or Ill stab you, but you are free to decide'

Yes, you are free to say no, but you will get stabbed...

this is EXACTLY the same offer god gives us. You can choose not to worship, but suffer the consequences.. are seriously implying this is free will? Well Ill tell you, I don't want to go to hell. But I do not get to choose do I?

[msdogooder]

@TheSelfishAltruist Yes the Lord gives us freewill to make choices in our life including accepting Him as our savior. We can believe in Him or not. Because I do believe in the Lord with my whole heart and KNOW that I belong to him my choice is to follow His word THE TRUTH. Part of that is praying. I pray for forgiveness, guidance, for the well being of others. I am still practicing free will and my will is to serve the Lord. I hope that I answered your question & this helps God bless you :-).

[TheSelfishAltruist]

@msdogooder But by praying are you not interfering in god's plan, and therefore freewill?
