Were you in that Life of Brain movie?
You are pontificating. You are playing Plato. You are waxing poetic. You're riffing.
No, But I was in a movie once.
People give God way too much credit- and do not give themselves enough credit.
A good man does not have to fear God to be a good man!
You can be a good man without any desire to go to heaven.
If your God truly wanted us all to go to heaven- we would have been born there!
Speaking of there- exactly where is your heaven?
It's a little fuzzy, regarding the explanation in the bible, of witnesses witnessing Jesus transcending into heaven or what that might look like. From what I've read, there may have been only a couple of witnesses to this observance.
So, let me get this straight. We are going to base our entire afterlife theory of the existence of Heaven and Hell- based upon two people who claimed they saw Jesus rise from the dead, sprout wings, and fly away into heaven?
Please tell me these two witnesses didn't make this up?
What was this about Jesus's mother being a virgin again? Did I tell you- My mother is a virgin too!
Oh, and the Burning bush carving the 10 commandments into stone. Really now? I really like that Donald Trump commandment- Thou shall not have any other Gods before me?
Or Moses parting the red sea. I just wish I could go back in time and see the expression on my own 5 year old face- when my Sunday School teacher told us that!
And Lot's wife looking back- and instantly turning into a pillar of salt? Pillar of SALT you say?
I think we may be looking at the bible as one of the world's first and largest Conspiracy Theories ever!
And supposedly, what is your God's punishment in not believing in him? Being cast to hell and burn forever for all eternity!
This, I am afraid sounds more like something Donald Trump would come up with.
"Believe in me- or I'll get even with you- and your life will be hell"! Thanks Donnie- But NO THANKS!
These are not the motives or values of Gods- But of ordinary men!
