YAY BBQ!
i have been told i will go to heck.
by of all people my sister and my great grandmother

The jokes goes a bit further with improprieties regarding aborted fetuses, but I don't want a mod on my tail.  D;

Yeah, I pretty much live for annoying the religious fanatics on the internet.  Proselytizing on the internet is pretty much pointless, anyway.  But I'm more respectful/avoidant in real life.  >.<  My family's trying to get around the fact that I'm not religious by changing their views some.  So now my sister thinks that as long as you're a good person, you get into heaven.  XD

I don't like the idea of heaven and heck.
Just say I got into heaven, and my friends and family went to heck because they didn't repent before they died. It wouldn't be heaven for me. How could I have eternal bliss when my friends are being burnt alive?

Technically they wouldn't be "burnt alive" they would be dead...

Okay, lol, having their souls burnt for all eternity.  I don't know how a soul gets burnt? But, there you go lol.

Haha. I'm glad you didn't take offense. 

Besides, all the imagery of "heck" comes from Revelations which is laden with metaphors, similes and the like.  I mean, obviously I don't know what heck is like, but I think people jump to conclusions with it being like fire.  Right there- metaphor! It's like fire... that would insinuate something else that is similar.  Anywho, this is a technicality that is not to take away from your main point (loved ones to be in eternal anguish). 

A lot of things people mistake for Christianity (Christians and non-christians alike) are actually brought forward by literature.

I was talking to a preacher person, and he said heck wasn't down below where you go and get burnt. He said heck meant 'not with God' and heck many many years ago was a wasteland where people would be forced to go as a punishment.

I think this thread is safe from closure as long as everyone's mature about the topic, they don't force their opinions on anyone and is not rude/disrespectful

Thats good, because i think anyone with religion should be tolerant of others religions

I am right there with you. I have had the most mean spirited people tell me that they were going to heaven and if I didn't live exactly like them I would go to heck. My reply to them was if all the people in heaven are like all of you, I'll take heck please....not that I believe in heaven or heck....
