I asked some weird questions but you all answered them. My conclusion , we , you and I should enjoy each other now. You are off to your heaven, while I'll have mine here. If I insulted you , I apologize. Have you ever tried to understand something that is way beyond you? The more you learn , the more you are glad you don't Have to follow it? That is where I am. Where I belong. Your thoughts.

Although I haven't been around to participate in your discussions lately, I love the idea of enjoying each other. I may have to check them out thoughSounds interesting. I think that where religion and beliefs come in, there is one thing, that they all have in common...comfort. That is what it is all about. Do people take it to places where I think it wasn't meant to go? Absolutely. But that's me. Is there something to learn from it?...oh yes. That's me too though. I think that everyone deserves to be where they belong. I think it is a great thing to know that..it is not common. Most people never know exactly.

Well I guess I was lucky in a way. I never felt I belonged Anywhere. I wished to be invisible. But by not belonging I learned what I like and what I don't. What I can do and what I can't. So by age 16 I knew my true comfort zone. " No" came naturally. so now if something doesn't feel right or make sense or I can't have any emotion about it , I walk away. With Christianity I wanted to learn ans see what were the rules. The more I learned the more I saw Jesus as a G-d who didn't like the true me but wanted a " better' model. So sorry this is as good as it gets. I'm out!

We are here to share information and point of views. We all appreciate that some will agree with us and some will disagree. Life is like that! A community is made up of many people with different beliefs and viewpoints. Still, they can all work for some common good. Religious beliefs are many and varied. Christian beliefs are also varied depending on individual or group understanding of the New Testament. As one of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses, I accept that there are varied religious views and lack of religious views. So, I try to be the best neighbor I can be. My neighbors may not all agree with me but if they are fair and balanced then we can still show respect and be at peace with each other. Have a beautiful day!

Thanks! I am respectful of everyone's religion. I was curious about Christianity but not anymore. It isn't for me.

G-d made sure there was never a door. He made me a non Christian from the start. That is why it never makes sense , I am not moved by it nor would I ever want to go to the Christian heaven.

And I respect your right to make that choice. But if you ever change your mind, the door is always open. We never close the door, only God can do that. See you around!

I am an agnostic and I feel that I don`t have the capacity to understand the trascendental, so I don`t try. I do understand, in a very human way, about the wisdom of the Holy Books, whatever the faith.

The more I learn of Christianity, the happier i am that I'm not a Christian. I don't think it is suppose to work This way.

I recently read a letter (or was it a speech) supposedly written or spoken by Bill Cosby. He mentioned one religion and how he couldn't understand it. On how it could be a religion of peace, yet sometimes could be so violent. I too couldn't understand it. Granted that I might need some more education about it, but I would just accept that it is way beyond me.

Christianity is so way beyond me that it wasn't even created for anyone Like me. I was born Not to be one. My natural excludes me from even trying . what is the point? If I have to completely chance who I am and what I feel It isn't worth it.

... you're DOING IT again: affirming the Christian LIE that Heaven Is a Place ... And yet--at the same time--you're confirming the truth: that Heaven is the experience you construct with the way you react to whatever world you're in! And as far as 'following it,' people follow it as it appears to lead them back to where they came from (where things seemed perfect).

If that's where you think you came from, yes.
