Now that was funny.

Or even New Jersey for that matter.

yeah NJ might be considered hell to some.

I was really commenting on the belief rather than the power to condemn anyone.

to me its just seems very arrogant to think "someone knows" what is going to happen. That and the fact that logic to me would dictate that statement to be false because their were religions around for thousands of years prior to Christianity and to say that all of that was a sham is absurd. Basically it insinuates that the whole old testament is bunk and everyone mentioned in it will find themselves in hell. Really? the thought of that to me is pure stupidity.

I'm glad this thread was brought back up - I was thinking about it when I came across a homemade valentine from a classmate in my 2nd grader's school party goody bag. It was a very heavily-worded religious message attached to a Fun Dip.

So, I get the argument that at Halloween, kids are going up to private residences and their owners can pass out whatever they like, but what about at a public-school-sponsored classroom party?

Kill joys like you who can't blow something off are the reason they stop having parties at school.... just throw the stupid think away and move on with your life

If you don't want to believe there is a god, or that there is but he's nothing like "that" god over there, then that's your business. but insulting others' beliefs doesn't exactly make you a paragon of tolerance.

If you don't believe in Christianity, what do you care where they think you're going? Do you get as worked up that Muslims believe your not going to have 72 virgins in the afterlife?

Paragon of tolerence? are you kidding? REALLY BURRO? you don't get it it do you? How can you say i'm insulting someone when they, with their post say i don't care what you think or believe you're going to hell end of story. yeah there's nothing insulting about that. nothing at all. Try trolling somewhere else Burro.
