I'm going to ask a question that has puzzled me, my mom use to tell me as a kid, that if you believed in god and were good you would go to heaven and you would live for ever ..
now this is what i find difficult to understand, how could you live for ever, would each year in heaven be like 100 earth years? would you be a teenager for like 800 earth years? like in the simpsons bart looks the same as he did 20yrs ago..
help someone
How would you think it could have ended if the crucifixion drama had been set in and around Cardiff???

One of the central themes of Watchtower Society theology, and the promised reward for the activities of Jehovah's Witnesses, is the possibility of living forever on an earth that has been restored by God to its original paradisiacal condition. One of the most popular and influential books by the Watchtower Society, You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth, is used by Witnesses to attract new members to the Society. Its color pictures portray a world in which contented Jehovah's Witnesses live in a lush garden with perfect health and in perfect peace.

'Stupid boy. You live in his Domain for infinity, which means no end, and if that is the case then their was no beginning either, as infinity has to exist in both directions.'

Well done Juliet to say you don't believe.........that is a way of thinking that is realistic.
I admire you for commenting on this.
By the way, from a post earlier by you (UK 50/50 believers and non-believers).
I have never done a survey and have not seen one published but from all the people I have met through my life since being a child, I would estimate that only 10% believe in God.
I have asked quite a few people these past two days and hardly anyone has time for religious mumbo-jumbo. They are too busy with their lives to waste time on outdated and controlling religions.
The climate of fear that the church in Europe had has gone completely and they can no longer exert almost complete control and influence over people any longer.
I would never go into a church and say a word to people inside, it would only make people upset.
Why do they come outside and preach?
They are truly a dying breed and as every month goes by they diminish further.
UK is no longer a mostly Christian country, there are other religions too coupled with millions of non-believers.
Once again though, there are just so many people who haven't got the time of day for any of it.
None of them who follow any religion will or can ever give anything that even faintly resembles proof.
I think that if there was a God or a Jesus, there would have been such a tumultuous uproar of human joy and enlightenment, that we would have absolutely NO DOUBT these days of such a clarifying moment.
We just had rumour, gossip and people who wrote stories......
In Europe, if people wanted to question faith, they were persecuted and often killed.
Now, what was THAT all about..........It makes me sick.
BUT, I am happy now that we no longer fear them making us fear something that does not exist.
aha! MrsJMajor, was just joking about it... read it in Sophie's wall (pls see her user profile) conversation between Sophie & MrsJ...
No offense but, I think MrsJ should not post something that she doesnt mean just for the sake of stirring up conversations, IMHO...
Not handbags at thirty paces just yet.
Was just trying to press a point over an apparent basic inconsistency in the two main religions/texts quoted. Trying to express the doubts I have over the reliability of the ancient texts as a source of beliefs.
It's a result of my job - I spend much of my time investigating corrupt government records in different countries to identify frauds and financial record manipulation by which officials steal from their people. Boring I know, but it could explain the level of my expectations for sufficient, reliable, relevant evidence to form judgements on reasonableness and plausibility.
Actually, being an Essex Boy (originally), I don't think I have ever been called gracious in my life, and I feel a rapprochement coming on....

maybe you've never had enough of a reason or suffered enough to believe in god, unlike some people who suffered or witnessed the evil of man or nature
http://photosthatchangedtheworld.com/ warning some pics may upset some
thou for me, it makes me wonder why god lets this happen and maybe there isn't one
I don't think they have no God. Why evertime they feel shocked/ happy they shouted the words :
OH MY GOD! Oh MY GoD!!!
I have just notice for some peope at the last minute of their lives they reminisces about their life and believe that there is God after all.They then talk to him before their last breath.
to loved and beloved is the greatest joy on earth...
Oh I am sorry, my mistake... I read what I have read yesterday (too bad i did not copy & paste it here) and it seems that it was edited today with:
"what can u see now"

why do people use the **** icon in a sentence? from what i understand... lemme see... the icon (**** icon) is used if you would want to signify that you are saying a joke or want people to take your statement lightly.. if it is on a serious note and arses are used, would that be a sign of disrespect? might be missing something..... I know I'm off the topic... just seeing a lot or ****.... and just wondering... LOL
