Part 1 of 2. The concept of heaven (and hell) is overwhelmingly simplistic and more importantly, is catastrophically flawed. Its a concept that wouldn't be out of place in a comic book, or cartoon.
Obviously I realise why people are motivated to believe in it, but just because you need something to be true, unfortunately doesn't mean that it necessarily is. Even if you definitely believe a book that says it's definitely true.
I will no doubt get many "arguments" against this video that will simply state "heaven is best thing you can imagine" or "its even better than you can imagine" or "the bible says....". Whilst I admire your conviction, it would be significantly more beneficial to your case if you presented a riposte to the actual points made in this video. Rather than simply say "heaven is awesome".
For example. "God's admission policy isn't evil, divisive and sadistic because......" etc.
Purely to aid my understanding of the subject (and hopefully everyone elses), if you believe in heaven, could you state in your comments how your life would be affected, if in fact heaven didn't exist. How would it impact your outlook of life, motivation, happiness etc. Likewise hell if you wish.
Thank you.

@lindsey842 You really are dumb. Why have you used quotation marks then proceeded to make up your own quotation. When did I say (in quotes) "follow his techniques"? "Techniques" where did that come from.
However I was making the point that invariably if you call yourself a christian, its generally a rule that you believe the bible is true, and also that you live by what jesus taught. Have you heard of jesus?
Are you now saying that you DON'T follow Jesus' teachings? What about Ganesh?

yes and you do???

@lindsey842 There's a MASSIVE difference. I don't state that I follow divine teachings from god, YOU DO! That is why you're a hypocrite and I'm not. Besides I have been nothing but civil to you, I've simply been a mirror to your own immorality, prejudices and ignorance. An eye for an eye....

@lindsey842 Are you aware that Jesus taught, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Do you understand this? He said treat EVERYBODY with respect and empathy, not just people you know. You're a pathetic Christian and morally inept!! And please remember its not me that is judging your unchristian behaviour, its GOD! You don't even follow god's teachings!
