I’m no theologian, but repenting does not really mean what this woman thinks it does.
I’ve talked to religious people and asked them that same hitler question. Or pedo’s or rapists or serial killers. If they repent, 5 minutes before death do they get a spot in heaven beside the people they victimized? Apparently, it seems that yes, they do. If you buy the whole religion thing anyway.
It’s idiocy on an operatic scale. The kind of idiocy that moves mountains and diverts the course of great rivers. The kind of idiocy that gets engraved on stone tablets. The kind of idiocy that swallows whole civilisations in a single earthquake. The kind of idiocy that can be seen from space.
It sounds like people think of getting into Heaven like going to nightclub and telling the bouncer that they know the owner.
The fun people are all in Hell anyway.
Honestly, if God doesn’t like my answer, I probably wouldn’t fit in very well in heaven anyways.
Okay, but the god question gets answered rather quickly, doesn’t it? I knew the God thing was bullshit in 4th grade.
That only applies to people who know about Jesus. If you don't you can still get into heaven. My dad told this story about a missionary who was trying to convert a member of some tribe. The guy asked the missionary if he would get into heaven if he didn't know about Jesus. The missionary said yes. The guy said why did…
Wow! Finally someone else who uses philosophical debate on religious doctrine as foreplay!
Can you imagine the nuclear-level shitfit some conservatives would have if a liberal clerk refused to issue someone a gun licence because they didn’t like firearms? They’d be furious, and you know, rightly so. People have a right to expect public officials to follow the law, even if they don’t agree with it. If you…
This is always the biggest problem with people who become born-again. I almost think there’s often a desire to be born again in order to shrug off the inconvenience of dealing with horrible things you think and do. Either consciously or subconsciously, anyway.
I had a bizarre conversation with an ex who was into the Jesus and was part of a “cool church”. You know, held in a warehouse space and was theoretically open to new ideas and people. I went to a service with him once (that was the deal- I said I’d go once and that would be it. I think he was hoping it would open my…
Or the belief that her “slate is wiped clean” because she converted.
I’m not sure which is more terrifying: the fact that this woman is attempting to establish a very dangerous legal precedent, that her views are common enough in her county and state that the odds of her losing her job over this are slim, or that she can say to these people with a smile on her face that she “is not…
Hanging out in Arkansas sounds worse than going to rehab, honestly.
You are part of an ancient thing that doesn’t know what it is, and can’t.
I work in a classified environment. Thousands of federal workers do. Believe me, it’s not that hard to keep stuff off the unclass networks. We do it every day. If I’d done what Hillary did, I’d be facing charges for every single piece of classified correspondence. The hypocrisy is infuriating.
