God wrote the bible? I thought it was his prophets *coughminionscough*.

Pinky...I am only going to say this: There is no one 'true' religion for all of us to follow. Nor is there a 'right' one to follow. They are basically all the same thing...whether you like it or not. And I will state again: God (in whatever form he assumes according to what religion we follow) would judge us by what we have done in our lives...not by what religion we follow.
One more thing.
I don't know what the percentage is of people who are Catholic and Christian...but I can guess it is not a big number compared to the total world population (what is it? 5-6 billion?). That said...that would be a very large number of people condemned to hell by your definition.

Yeah, God told his prophets what to write. There is no way, that Moses can write what happened on the day of his birth or write in every detail.

I'm sure Hitler was baptised.

Hmm... Dragadon, wasn't it you who was just telling Pinky not to force her religion and beliefs on others? Yes, it was. So don't be a hypocrite.

I am not forcing it on anyone. i am just reinstating my beliefs Daniel...nothing wrong with that.
To state your beliefs your beliefs is one thing, but saying something along the lines of: "If you don't follow my religion you will go to hell" is quite another...

heres a question do you believe that joan of arc was a prophet or a crazy lady who just heard voices.

I did'nt state that or did I meant that. People were asking me questions and I answered them.

Joan of Arc, oh yeah we had to learn about her.... I don't know if she would be a prophet or not. She heard Saints talking to her. Did God really sent them? Or where they demons? Answers lie somewhere......

I was talking to Daniel Pink, I didn't say you thought I was forcing my beliefs on you.

People who Say "If you don't believe in God you will go to hell" Are making their religon a cult.

Steve, what's the difference?


Don't all (at least most) religions involve belief and worship?
By that definition, almost all (probably all), religions are cults.

Three words: "Making It Up".

All religons think that other religons are cults but it's the people in the religon who are making it a cult by saying things like "if you don't believe in god you are going to hell" that is making it a cult but if they respect the other people not in their religon and don't say things like that then it MIGHT not be a cult. Did that make any sense?

What's wrong with the word "Cult" anyway?

Well persons in other religons think that other religons are cults because they don't believe what they believe I think.

If I believed in Hell I'd want it to be designed by Akira Toriyama-sensei...

That was a very good point, Eibu. Now who the hell is Akira Toriyama-sensei?

Man puhlease, if you think that, then I pity you.

Regarding the own birth part: Maybe another human told him. If you never thought of that then I pity you!

Regarding the every detail part: Maybe the story of creation was a documentation of what current-time 'evidence' 'proved'.

Then pity me. As long as you don't mind me returning the favour...

To answer statikks original post/question-
To be honest, i do have a small voice in the back of my head saying, "maybe you shouldn't wear that 'satanic army' shirt.." "what if there IS a god? better quit saying god dammit all the time" and so on.
BUT-
i was clinically dead for 2 minutes, and i saw nothing. NOTHING....and when i was 'slipping' i thought, "man if there is a God, he's gonna hate me..ah, f*ck it."
so i guess i'm not afraid of 'eternal torture' after all.
i read through the big bang post, and didn't see one person mention telling god to 'screw off' either.
hmm...interesting that because we don't share your beliefs, we are automatically sorted into the 'damned to eternal torture' catagory.
If i were a christian, my biggest priority would be to enjoy life to the fullest. If you're a christian and apparently automatically gain access to heaven, why not have a little fun while your on earth?

I preety sure he's the creator of Dragonball and Dragonball Z.

On the actual topic, I beleive that God only wants everyone to be good. If you are good in life, then God will give you the reward you deserve no matter your religion. I think that the God of Christianity, Prodastants, Catholics is the same God. The many gods of different religions, every god and goddess is one. That's what I beleive anyway.

That's an excellent attitude to have Capri.

I have a question pinky, why does the devil hate humanity?

grab some popcorn.....This is going to take long.

Then pity me busta! Bwahahahah!

Are you going to explain or just try to insult us?

I think this quote by Samuel Butler sums up Pinky's situation:

"If there is any moral in Christianity... then it comes to this: that a man must back his own opinion against the world's."

Copycat :P
