There seem to be a lot of very freaky people calling themselves Christians at this site, like the guy who claimed to be a believer but also stated
that he felt no obligation to either follow Christ's teachings or his path. Isn't that exactly what a Christian is supposed to do? In my opinion you
really aren't a Christian if all you do is show up to church on an occassional Sunday, claim to believe and drop a five-spot in the plate.
Nor do I see the point of an avowed Christian playing "what if" games with his faith. What if Christ were gay? What if Jesus had a peg leg so only
half of him could walk on the water? What if he were allergic to frankenscense?? It's all kind of besides the point, isn't it?
Finally; re: no road back to heaven ...... it seems to me that, if you read between the lines in some of the Gospels, Jesus is hinting that what
heaven really is is a place where people respect, love and care for one another, a place where people share what they have and make sure that everyone
has what they really need. A place without a needy freakin' ego. Isn't that honestly the criteria that we will supposedly all be held up to on
Judgement Day? Are you a person who is ready to make a heaven on the new earth, or are you just another self-centered greedy self-destructive S.O.B.
who's attitudes and actions would only be a detriment to themselves and the rest of the population? Isn't Christian Judgement Day really a
separating of responsible compasionate folk from childish and selfish freaks?
Here's a thought! What if Armageddon is all in our heads? What if the final battle and the return of Jesus is really a psychic struggle that divides
the dicks from the saints, the punks from the adults, the users from the givers? What if Armageddon is the final revelation in our collective mind of
who is really with humanity and who is really against humanity, and those against finally get what they deserve? and it ain't pretty.But it is
justified.
OOOO baby, do you know what that's worth?
We'll make heaven a place on earth
they say in heaven love comes first
we'll make heaven a place on earth
