Apparently, some of you didn’t fully read the disclaimers I had on the religious ranting pages. Didn’t I have enough of them? I know that there are flaws in my thinking and in my judgment. I am spouting off about irrational things and having fun doing it. Don’t write in and try to save my soul, join in the fun and free yourself and allow your brain to think for yourself for once.
Example #1:
(IM timestamps removed)
“…assuming that Heaven and Hell adhere to CURRENT physics, AND assuming there are not quantum effects (that we now think MIGHT be accessible) that changes the rules in this dimension. And with the soul overload (assuming souls have a mass, which, to have the cited effects, they’d have to) you have the potential for an Einsteinian bridge – and we already know that classical physics went out the window after you cross the event horizon…. But Quantum effects (as proved by Hawking) didn’t…”
Funny. This person obviously “gets it” and is having fun by attacking my theory.
Example #2:
“You will never learn will you? You are toying around with your immortal soul! Can you conceive “eternity”? No, none of us can. None but Jesus. But trust me it will be a long, long, LONG time and you will be serving Satan in Hell rather than enjoying paradise with the rest of us. It pains me to say it but I have to give up on you. It is clear that you will go on mocking those of us with the will and good sense to accept Christ as out personal savior. When it comes to people like you, the Word of God instructs us good Christians to “shake the dust from our feet” and “to keep you out of our homes”. I will pray for you. You can’t stop me from doing that. You are a sinner and your blasphemy is contagious to your family. Remember that the sins of the father are visited onto his sons. If you won’t come to Christ for your own soul, do it for your family.”
NOT Funny and a clear indication of a severe sense-of-humor deficit. This person makes many assumptions and has concluded that I am no longer fit to be associated with. Well ok, not that this was a particularly close associate but this is an example of someone who obviously does not “get it”.
Let me clear up some of the assumptions and discrepancies some of you soul-savers might have about me.
I worship Satan.
Not true in the least. In fact, I don’t even recognize Satan as you recognize him. Satan is the Christian personification of evil; a mean guy in a red suit. I’m not even so sure I recognize evil as “bad” as much as it is “necessary”.
I am going to Hell.
Nope. At least not the Hell you imagine. Again; it’s a Christian concept of a burning lake of fire where I’m tortured for all eternity. That’s not hell, that’s Florida. The existence of Hell is pretty universal and predates Christianity by… forever. I’d imagine “Hell” is more subjective. Personalized for every individual. Wasn’t it the Inuit tribe in Alaska that asked where to sign up when the missionaries told them about the lake of fire? But as for me going to your hell, no, not going to happen. It’s your Hell, you go burn in it.
I hate Christians.
No, I hate people that won’t let me be after I’ve repeatedly told them to leave me alone. My Christian friends and family will worry about me and I understand that. It’s only when I’m pestered or hounded with thinly veiled threats that I get upset. I’d prefer someone like Harriet Tubman, who as a Christian woman, when she was confronted with the tribal religions of the slaves she was helping said, “You pray to your spirits and I’ll pray to my god and we’ll turn out fine.”
I hate Christ.
Wrong again. In fact, I am quite the fan! He may have been for real, he may have been a con, he may have been a dupe but in any case, from what I’ve read about him, he was a much cooler dude than most people that claim to follow in his footsteps.
My religious decisions are made in rebellion.
That may have been true 16 years ago. There may have even been a little truth in that up to 12 years ago but I grew out of the rebellion stage a long time ago. At least in this regard. I’ve still got a lot of rebellion in me but not in this arena.
So, why not relax and have a little fun? I’m not trying to turn you from your god and you won’t turn me from mine. If you don’t have a sense of humor, you really shouldn’t be reading ANYTHING I write. Most of what I write is shotgun-typed. Same way I speak. I think, BAM out it comes without thinking of the rationality or even if it’s correct. But, that’s who I am and I’m having fun with it so join in or go away. If your faith is so thread-bare as to be threatened by a little mirth and questioning, then I am probably doing you a favor by stoking the flames a little. It forces you to make a stand one way or another.
And if you are still having trouble with the sense of humor in relation to religion just remember this:
My god is known for carrying a hammer, your god was found nailed to a tree… That’s all I’m saying…
