The views expressed in this post are soley those of the writer and not meant to raise eye brows or infuriate people. (maybe I don't need to say that)

I agree and disagree with different things you said, Khold, but I won't insult you because I don't agree with some things.  I'm glad that you can share what you believe and stick with it.   However, I just couldn't imagine how there could be a Heaven in the afterlife but not a Hell.  If there was no other place that was a punishment for how we lived our lives, then we could do whatever we wanted and still make it there with no problem.  But if there was no Heaven it would be even worse because we would want to do whatever we pleased before facing the unescapable horror that lies ahead.  Without counsequences, does it really matter how we live?

Many people may think that getting to Heaven is all about doing more good things than bad, but I don't believe that.  I believe that you need to believe in Jesus and that He died and came back to life to make a way to escape Hell and come to Heaven (because He loved the world, past, present, and future, and wanted to save it), ask for forgiveness for living the wrong way and work on slowly changing your life with His patient help, and then try your best to follow His commandments that are said in the Bible.  I don't know if it's possible to become a "perfect person" but my goal is to become like Jesus as much as I can and only do what He wants me to do (His perfect plan for my life).  I often have trouble with this and need to keep asking for His help with that and other things, but I know for sure that He has changed me a lot so far and is still changing me and showing me things I need to work on (but encouraging me through it too).  I believe that no one is born evil with no hope of changing and that everyone has a chance for a new life because God loves everyone and wants them to come back to Him no matter what they've done or how people think of them.  And that this is the only way to get there and nothing else will work.  John 14:6 says "I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except though Me." I know that this offends many people but it's what I believe.

But... maybe Heaven does have pink clouds, you never know XD.  I read a book once about a guy that supposedly went to Heaven and came back and he said that there was lots of incredible music coming from everywhere.  He also said there were some animals there too so... yay for animals! (hopes there's dinosaurs!)  And it's funny becauese every time I hear about someone talking about going to Heaven and coming back they say that they forgot some things about it, which makes me wonder if maybe Heaven is so awesome and huge that our human brains can't comprehend it!  Makes me think.  But I don't know if Earth can be hardly anything like Heaven because it just seems like there's much more evil than good in it.

And in case you're wondering why I post here so often compared to everything else... I guess that I just like learning about what people believe and understand how people see life. (I'm not trying to change people's minds, I just want to give my thoughts about things without being forceful or unkind.  I hope I don't sound like that.).

Oh yeah, and I agree with the Christmas/Halloween thing because traditions are traditions and some people may just say that because they've always done things like that and don't know or care about the real meaning behind it.  I know that could sound bad but if that's what people think and are used to doing just for fun... I don't see why it could be offensive.  I could say a lot more about this but my knowledge behind holidays isn't very... good.

Edit: Btw, why was Markio's statement so profound?  Just curious.

Edit II: When I think of "A Survey This Is" I sometimes think of Yoda speaking that.  "A survey this is, hmmmmMMMMMM?"

Maybe because you could fly through most levels without breaking a sweat.  You couldn't do it in castles or scrolling levels but it could still help too much than necessary.  Besides the levels don't really have quite the right landscape for that kind of flying, just imo.

When people push their religious beliefs on other people, it's not always about wanting people to have the exact same beliefs as they do and therefore get along better or get money for their churches, but may be because they believe that we're missing something important in our lives and will be happier or more fulfilled people (or go to heaven or whatever) if we try to live like they try to live.  That's something that we can keep in mind when we get irritating confrontations from people, that they might feel like they want the best for us.  Not always but sometimes perhaps.

Heh heh... I was kind of thinking that too.  But I like what LD is saying because it makes sense to me.  If you can write more effectively or convey your meaning better or more clear by doing something the "wrong way" then I don't care at all what a few people say about it (plus it makes my life easier too and I'm all for that!).  Now if only I could start a sentence with "and" and not have to change it because everyone says it's wrong.

See, I don't think God will be the reason earth will one day end. Because, he said that he would not deliberatley send another life-threatening disaster to earth, after the whole Noah's ark thing in Genesis.

Didn't God say in Genesis, "I will never send a flood to destroy the world?"  That leaves a few openings for other things.  But seriously I actually believe PL on this, no matter how funny that sounds to some people.  I believe that Jesus will take his followers to Heaven with Him and the rest of the world will remain to face horrible punishments for a long time (but I hope that it won't be too late for them to change).  I could say a lot more about this but I don't think it would be a good idea since I not only can't remember or understand many things I read, but also don't want  to offend people.  Just like always though, this is simply my opinion and I won't push it on anyone.  I've heard these things from Revelations, the Left Behind books, and other places but I have no clue when the world could end.  But I don't really care because I know I'm ready for it, yet I want and need to help others be ready before it's too late.  Wow, I think I just discovered a big reason why some people get very offended from Christian beliefs.  How did I miss that?

Nonserious answer: In the year 2666, the planets shalt spinneth out of control and flyeth straightforward into the sun, creating the most magnificient exblowsion the universe has ever seeneth.  Then in 10 berjillion and four score years the sun shalt exploditate and recreateth the big bang, which shalt then restart evolution and restoreth life for another several thousand years and repeateth this until the aliens can fixeth the problem once and for alleth.

Heh heh!  I love those Far Side Heaven and Hell jokes.  And I like your signature too, btw, because I know all too well from writing classes how frustrating it is trying not to not use a preposition to end a sentence with.  Uh... *smacks head on desk*

Sapph: I was going to say something like that but then I didn't for some reason.  But I couldn't have said it better than you did!

PaperLuigi: I remember listening to a Keith Green song where he started it out by talking about Heaven.  He said something like "God made the universe in only 6 days, but in the Bible we know that he's been preparing a place for us for 2000 years.  And if it took Him only 6 days to make the world and 2000 years for our home in Heaven... then, man, we are living in a garbage can compared to what's coming up there!"

Luigison: Lol, that's a good one.  I remember reading a hysterical Far Side comic that had to do with Heaven.  On the top panel there's a picture of people walking into the gates of Heaven and as they passed through an angel stood by and said "Welcome to Heaven.  Here's your harp!" On the bottom panel there's people walking into Hell and the devil says "Weclome to Hell.  Here's your accordian!" That's a terrible joke but I can't help myself.

BP: I'm sorry but I really doubt there are Mario games in Heaven. (I used to hope that too but right now I don't think so *cries*.  But it definitely will be much better than that).  Maybe we can run and jump on the clouds though! XD

Markio: Oh, I see.  Yeah, I forgot about that in those stories.

Was that a joke or were you being serious?  No offense either way.

I don't understand how anyone can support abortion when you know how terrible it really is.  I can see how you might need to in case you need to save the mother's life, but that's the only thing I can see.  I wonder if many of the mothers who abort feel guilt from doing that?  I'm open to hear from anyone who can tell me if there's more good reasons to have abortions (as long as you don't bite my head off XD).

Here's another good question to ask: do you believe in heaven?  And what do you think it will be like.  Even though "the half has not been thought of yet".  I think it might be someting like going back to your childhood and being with your saved family, friends, great people from the Bible, and God!  Then some of us could finally meet each other, I'd like that.
