I'm Saved


Well according to the pope I can go to heaven, he might as well tell me I can go to Alpha Centauri

Hasn't he realised that atheists don't believe in heaven?

what happens if, once in heaven, we still don't repent and explain our reasons to the Almighty?

If I am following my conscience, why need I be contrite if I bump into God? How about him apologising for being illogical and invisible?

Oh, so what I have been taught is all wrong then?

To attain everlasting life you need FAITH and good works. Not like the silly prespeterians, who believe in justification thorough faith alone.

Oh no! We Catholics have a much more sensible dogma. You need FAITH to attain heaven as well as good works. You categorically need both.


Or so I was taught.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

From what I've seen of people who are 100% sure they are going to heaven, it just doesn't seem like the place for me. I'll just stick to an end of life.....period.

I look at heaven as an imaginary place where people can imagine their loved ones living happily while they wait for their loved ones to join them. A sweet idea, but that's all it is. And even that sweet idea has been ruined by radicals who claim that 79 virgins are waiting for them as a reward for killing people who get in the way of their religion, or you have to be a straight Christian to get in. Heaven help a gay Jew or Buddhist. They won't make it through those pearly gates. And what kind of a place doesn't allow dogs or other pets? I just wouldn't be happy somewhere where all are not welcome. I've enjoyed diversity all my life and just can't imagine life, even an afterlife, without it.
Laugh often/love much;leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child,a garden patch,or a redeemed social condition;play w/enthusiasm & sing w/exultation;know even 1 life has breathed easier because you lived. This is success.B.A.Stanley

I think the virgins amount to 72 and some say they are a type of dried grape.
