Hell is something chrisitanity has created to make people believe in fear or else they will go to "hell". No one is going to hell unless they have given there will to Satan/Darnkess. The Divine Mother/Father/Light loves it's children and do not require worship or anything, the divine Lights love is unconditional, like parents love for there children. May the Light be with you and do not be tempted into Darkness

No i don't believe that jesus is god. Yes i believe that jesus was very in tune with light and "god", but we all can be that way. I see jesus more as someone to look up to and respect, like Ghandi or Mother Teresa.
So that's what i have to say for now.
Peace

Well,Pan,I am somewhat like you.. However, being Christian is not necessarily believing Christ was God almight;it is having faith that Christ was the SON of God and trying to live your life as closely as possible to the way that Christ would have you. That is what a Christian is.

but i guess i'm a small percentage of what could be considered christian (because i also believe many things that many christians do not, and don't believe things they do.)
And to me, hell is just fear and darkness, or being without god; being afraid of god.

I am Christian and I believe Homosexuals should be allowed a legal union and should be given the right to adopt children.
Also, no one has the right to judge anyone's eternal standing but God.

The thing that still gets me is that so many people who claim to be christian don't even live the way Jesus showed them.

When the girl said that "the bible says..." she more or less lost all power to her argument. I explained that the bible is simply a book held in high regard and the laws and social guidelines pertained back then but not two thousand or more years later.
