Relax. I don't happen to believe the "burn in Hell for eternity" bit either.
One death should be enough for anybody. Those without faith will get two, that's all. It's just that that second one *will* be for eternity.
Imagine that. Being at the threshold of Paradise, only to be told, "Sorry, you didn't purchase a ticket. Your ticket *was* paid fo ...[text shortened]... is is where you get out."
Have faith. You can still avoid this final embarrassment.

I guess you still don't get it. And yes, I fully understand that you don't want to get it.
So I continue to speak out, not for you, since you're probably a lost cause, but perhaps someone else reading it might be moved to ask questions about it. I understand you're going to continue to make fun of me, and that's okay. It's all you got, so who am I to take that away from you?

Originally posted by Palynkathe original followers of Christ thought the last days would come in their own lifetimes, so, really, it's been almost 2000 years of waiting.
I thought I had logic, science and empirical observation, as well.
By the way, did you ask the guys of the Watch Tower how longer these 'last days' will be? You see, it's been over a century now.

Hahahaha... those guys don't have a clue. They once thought the Second Coming would happen in 1975.
Oops.

Seriously ... how many people would believe in a guy proclaiming to be Jesus II ?
He wouldnt measure up to the 'ideal' inside everyones head. An impossible task. I dont even think a few miracles would help.

I guess that's not really a bad thing.

John of Patmos, who wrote down the Book of Revelation, wrote it as a warning to the seven churches that they should prepare for what is soon to come.
"Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written herein: for the time is at hand." -- Revelation 1:3, KJV
Originally posted by SuzianneYou know what I think is cool? Christians burning all the texts left at Easter Island.
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." -- Matthew 24:36, KJV
Clearly Easter Island is the work of the devil. I only wish they'd had taken more time and tumbled the statues into the sea.
P-
