Exactly, they had a "place of darkness", sheoa(sp?) that was just to be removed from the sight of God... it was not permanent.

Well I like the budhist notion that we're already in hell and it can only get better from here. Of course, I deny the existance of budhists.

hell was invented so that satan represented the pagan god (a guy with horns) and the christians said this guy was evil and if you followed him you'd be damned for all eternity.

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. Sinners have much more fun.

Only the good die young.

Name the song and artist?

Do I have to? Didn't I pay my debt to society by listening to that song 37 million times?

But it's true, Catholic girls rock!

Billy Joel? I heard it yesterday in the car and all my friends were singing it (very badly) so I am scarred.

I may have to record my rant about how Jehovah is suffering from a self-image problem of supergalactic proportions, what with needing people to praise Him constantly. I mean, here we are, building all those churches, being in fear of being smote by an irrationally angry deity, or worse, tortured like Job or forced to nearly sacrifice your own son just to prove you love Him. Does this seem like a well-adjusted personality to you?

Think about it...an omnipotent, mentally ill deity.

Scary, ain't it?

Why would a god need us to praise him? If he is real, he is better than us and shouldn't need our approval.

Plus, if you've committed an "unforgiveable" sin, maybe they won't try to convert you anymore!

Yeah... good luck.

Oh, try to find a sobriety program as an atheist. I have had to do this alone and it has NOT been easy.
