So what you're saying is that only people who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior go to Heaven. So what you're saying is that Christians go to Heaven and everybody else goes to Hell. So what you're saying is that you are superior to me because of your faith. So what you're saying is that I'll be damned even if I save the human race. So what you're saying is prejudiced and closed-minded. I see what your point is, but read this: it was the post I posted that started this discussion. I never told him to shut it. I told him what he said is prejudiced and closed minded, and if I go by what you said about being able to express one's opinion, then there isn't a problem.

Okay, you find it prejudice and close-minded for someone to believe their beliefs are superior and correct. Of course not! I really don't give a ---- as to what anyone believes. I think my beliefs are right, you think yours are right, it's the same with everybody. That's the definition of belief. I just think that if you have a prejudiced belief that it's rude to express it.

If anybody's interested: I do not pretend to know if there exists and afterlife of any sort. I am, however, certain that if there exists a just God then there cannot exist an eternal Hell.

I believe that heven and hell are differnt for everyone depending on what they like and dislike.
For example, If you had been a good person in your life and you were very keen on chocolate, then heven would have aalot of chocolate and other things and deciced people you loved. But if you went to hell, then there would be all the things you hate there.
Hell would be a horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible place and i wish never to go there.
I love the idea of reincarnation. I like to believe that its true but it wouldn't happen to me because im not of the religion which reincarnates.
Thankyou for reading!! Please say if i have offended you with my views and opinions because i am terribly sorry if i have. Luv Phoebe

Wouldnt you like to have clothes if you lived above or below the equator? I sortof hate that too.. If people are going go around saying your going to hell because you dont believe in Jesus, at least they could sit you down, share a cup of coffee and tell you why and explain to you Christianity. i agree. i am a christian, but i would not bluntly tell someone, "you're going to hell"

I believe that some people go to Heaven and some to Hell, but nobody has the right to tell anybody else that they are condemned. I mean, think about it, that's the worst sort of egotism: it's like saying that you know what God's thinking and are therefore as smart as Him.
God is forgiving and loving, but He can't make us choose Him and everlasting life. If we reject Him, then we reject heaven. God's sad about that, but there's nothing He can do. He gave us free will.
