Religion


YES!
I don't believe in a God who would banish anyone to eternal hell.
Ok, then I don't believe in a God who would make that possible.



I just don't think that an all loving God would provide such a fate for people who may have simply made a mistake. That's why I believe in a hell you can get out of.

if u r good, u go 2 the garden of eden until the messiah comes. the messiah is a human who will stop all wars. when he comes and fulfills his destiny, u will reincarnate
if u r bad, u go 2 hell and burn 4 as long as it takes 4 u 2 repent, then u go 2 the garden of eden
since every1 sins a little, every1 burns a little


I've always wanted to read the Bible, just from a literary point of view.


Basically the same sort of thing in Buddhism, Rachel.


Hell is an eternity of burning in the core of the earth, and heaven is having your soul in the atmostphere. I believe that everyone should aspire to go to Heaven where it's not eternal torture of burning flames. THE END.

Not too sure on the details at the moment, haha.
So I guess I'll go with the Heaven & Hell belief.
I was raised Christian (and now Catholic) so I would have to imagine Hell as some sort of doom & gloom place for tortured souls and Heaven as the opposite, like a retirement home in the sky. Sounds ridiculous when I put it like that, but yeah. That's me.

I guess I think of god more as a force of nature than a being
I'm not sure if there is an afterlife, but I don't really care alot either way

sure it would be cool to watch ppl down on earth do their thing or become part of some big mystical force, but i also want there to be an end at some point.

My religion is a mixture Christianity, Unitarian Universalism, and evolutionism.
Obviously, this creates a lot of inner conflict.
I don't necessarily believe any religion is 'wrong' or that it is 'wrong' to follow it. [any religion:]
I love Jesus, and I believe he died for our sins, but I think the words of the bible have been twisted a lot. I choose to avoid most organized religions.
I believe in hell, and reincarnation. I also believe that after you die, if your strong enough, you can choose where your consciousness goes.
I believe in ghosts, and that some people can speak with them.
I also believe in demons and angels.
I believe in the big bang [even multiple big bangs:] theory, but I also believe in creationism. Just cause a giant explosion created the universe doesn't mean someone didn't cause it, or that God or gods don't exist.
I think there's a hell but I'm not sure. I don't know about heaven either, but it seems more likely then hell. I'm not even sure if I believe anything happens when you die. [maybe that's hell:]
I think eventually the earth will end, but weather its the anti-Christ or the sun exploding, I don't know. Maybe a combination.
I also believe a lot in natural selection.

Rachel- I know what you mean. :D
Catherine- I believe in reincarnation because re-using energy like that just seems more... I don't know... real then potentially going to heaven. It seems more efficient and life usually create the most efficient ways to do things.
I believe in ghosts because I've had personal experiences [not that they'd mean anything not you, you weren't there:] and so has my mom. I believe in angels, guardian angels, saints, and spirit guides partially because of my personal experiences too.

HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term.
The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. ''' Since there is more''' than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God.
"
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"
One other thing... I do believe in ghosts. Normally when a person dies, they have to come to terms with their death before they can be reincarnated. Usually this process takes up to 40 days. But some spirits can't accept it, so they stay half in our world, half out.
