Look at the demon thread—fake christians get their jollies scaring people. Not a nice thing to do, not, dare I say it, a christian thing to do. Religion sucks! Religious arseholes or pretend religious arseholes should be treated with contempt.

I dunno, we have an allegedly omniscient and omnipotent god. god gets lonely, invents angels. Hallelujah!

Some angels rebel, other angels send them down into Hades.

Not enough for this god. Like, he must be bored, right?

He makes mankind! Not ONE generstion passes before man rebels too—eats the Forbidden fruit! Some crap about a talking ssssssss

N

ake.

So man trespasses. God sends his son(!) to atone for god’s Man’s insubordination!

What tosh!

Scripture was written by people, people who knew nothing about the natural world, science, a universe that is vast and expanding.

Some were on drugs most likely.

Nah, no Heaven, no St Peter etc.

YOU are no christian.

Robert Plant believes it:

Oh, Saint Peter at the gates of Heaven
Won't you let me in?
I never did no harm, I never did no wrong

One day we shall all be before St Peter at the gates of heaven.

He has a key with which he can open the door for you -
he also has a lever which he can pull to a trap door beneath your feet
and you know where that leads?
We will all have some explaining to do.

There’s something there…. In a different realm… how many times have we had a close call and thought there must be something looking out for us!

When my grandfather had cancer, we had to travel to Yeppoon every afternoon after school to visit him in hospital. After a few days of doing this, I was getting sick of the travel. I asked my parents why we have to keep driving out to Yeppoon each day. Dad responded that this might be the last day to see granddad.

I was tired from the school day and was a bit inattentive to what was going on. But, halfway to the hospital, along the main stretch of Yeppoon Road, I had this sudden awakening as if someone had called my name. I sat up suddenly and asked "What was that?". I don't remember the response I got, if I got a response. I looked at the clock on the car. 3:30pm.

We got to the hospital about 15 minutes later. The doctor came over to talk to us to tell us that granddad had passed. He died at 3:30 that day.

Given that I am schizophrenic, I usually put all kinds of supernatural experiences down to my schizophrenia. But, at age 12, I was well before the age where I had schizophrenia. Granddad's passing was the only time I have ever had this feeling of angels watching.

It was your grandad.
