while all other religions and any non-christians are going to hell? If christianity represents how the universe works, I don't see how other religions are not representing such. If other religions are also condemning non-believers to hell, then of course christians will go to the hell defined by those religions while people of other religions will go to the christian hell. if everyone's going to hell, what's the point of worshipping?

Please enlighten me like a lightening bolt across the dark, cold and stormy night.

This has never been done before.

because there are seperate heavens for each religion and from the perspective of each religion, every other heaven is hell

Hi. You're probably new to the Wolf Web. In fact, I'm willing to bet you're new to the internet in general. It's an exciting time, isn't it? I'm sure that you have been exposed to many ideas and perspectives you'd never realized existed, and you're just bursting with enthusiasm at the thought of sharing a few ideas of your own with your peers now that you find yourself in an academic environment that seems perfectly suited to such an exchange.

Why don't we go a little further? Odds are you consider yourself very intelligent. In fact, you're probably so intelligent that you've figured out all the quirks and kinks of organized religion--or at least Christianity. Yeah, that's it, isn't it? You were probably raised in a Christian household and resent that upbringing for limiting your personal freedoms, so it's only natural that you'd seek to undermine Christ's teachings and save others from having such a faulty belief system for their own good. Pretty cool of you, isn't it? You've really got it together.

FUCK YOU YOU STUPID FUCKING FAGGOT KID

TO LIVE ACCORDING TO A STRICT MORAL CODE

AND MAYBE YOU'RE TOO MUCH OF A PUSSY

TO ACTUALLY TRY AND DEVELOP A STRONG, HONORABLE CHARACTER

BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT

FOR YOU TO ATTACK MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF PEOPLE

NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TRY TO PLAY THE VICTIM

TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY "FORCE THEIR BELIEFS" ON YOU

BY HANDING OUT A FUCKING PAMPHLET

Christianity is the best religion in the world only if you are a Christian. If you were born and raised as a Muslim, you'd be proclaiming that Islam is the best religion in the world. If you were born a Hindu, you'd encourage everybody to be a Hindu. If you were a Scientologist (Vishnu forbid), you'd be pushing people to join Scientology.

With so many people so sure that theirs is the true path, how can all of them be right? Who is to say that one religion is the true path while all other religions are a one-way ticket to hell? To me, this is strong evidence that none of them are correct. Or rather, the question is meaningless. Since none of them is the "true" path, they're all on equal footing, and it therefore makes no difference which religion you choose. No religion is "right" or "wrong," therefore it is pointless to preach about how "right" one religion is over another.

I think we all know what the best religion in the world is...

4/14/2008 7:45:08 PM

where's the judge, this thread is made for him.

Jesus is DA MAN!!!!

Because Christianity had the best business plan. They killed or merged with the majority of their competition centuries ago. Say what else you will about Christianity, you can certainly learn a lot about how to run a business empire from them.

the question is legitimate, if not novel or new or particularly insightful.

But the premise is legitimate. It's curious why any group of people from any religion will grab onto a relatively new (in geological or anthropological terms) belief system, and claim that all people who don't share that same system, including people who have never had the opportunity to hear it or who subscribe to a different but equally arbitrary belief system, or perhaps even people who lived before the system was even invented, plus people who lead otherwise fruitful and good lives, are simply wrong and will suffer eternally for it.

As far as Christianity is concerned the answer to your questions are pretty simple. God created people for his own amusement and he can do whatever he wants with them. If that includes rewarding some for worshipping him and damning others to hell for reasons that seem unfair to us then so be it, it's not like us disagreeing with an omnipotent being will accomplish much anyway.

As far as the OP's question is concerned, it's like asking why two contradictory scientific theories can't both be true at the same time.

omg christians are so brain washed. think independently, critically, objectively, anyone?
