Poe lol

[eclipticsphere17]

as an atheist, and I think others can agree, that it is heretical for a christian to believe atheists will be accepted into heaven. That may make the person a more caring, tolerant individual, but it makes them a bad christian. sorry if my comment was basically stated in the vid

[kyokumajr]

lol I don't mind.

There are different branches of Xianity, some might be ok with nonbelievers going to heaven; but then it makes no sense to me to be a follower of their faith since you'll get (or "can get") to the good spot anyway.

[menschherbert]

thx for the vid

[kyokumajr]

You're welcome

[kyokumajr]

They are talking about Heaven & an after life because that is what the survey asked for.

You believing something, especially without any evidence, does not make it reality.

[thesunofjuda]

The "unforgivable sin". lolz

When I was in sunday school I asked a lot of questions. The teacher had no problem with the easy ones, but when she didn't have an answer (most of the time) she would just say "we don't question god" That kinda pissed me off & turned me away from the faith.

Anyway, we got to the "unforgivable sin" part & I thought I found a way out of the class. I just said: "I hate the holy spirit"!

Didn't work & I was to remain absolutly silent in class after that. ='(

[pgomezi]

When Matt says "I don't agree with some of the tactics atheists use" and spaghetti monster becomes seemingly animated and starts to turn and stare at him like "What you talkin' bout" ROFLCOPTER There should really be a puppet show with him, jeebus muhammad and the whole bunch.

@TheSkunkCat

As for those holy books. No one ever reads those. ESPECIALLY not the cafetaria types.

The fundies on the other hand just cherrypick whatever justifies their bigotry from the books.

[TheSkunkCat]

Oh it's VERY simple.

Fundies of ANY religion belief good things will happen to them when they are dead and bad things to everyone BUT them.

Cafeteria religious people have the view that good people get good things after dead and bad people get bad things.

Both are nonsensical, but the cafetaria type is benign, whereas the fundie version is hostile.

[Azurewrath232]

@a68rebel you go inter heavan i will go to heaven when i die laughing at you're spelling fails.

[SuccubusMagician]

I think atheists can go to heaven, this whole who gets in and who doesn't is kind of ridiculous don't you think? Most of it is just pure speculation, to say you know without a hint of a doubt is pretty absurd.
