Controversy Thursday: Cain and Abel
I wear rose-coloured glasses. I was raised to see the bright side, to encourage the positive, to rejoice in happy moments and to laud smiles over frowns. In this warped state of perpetual happiness, I am virtually incapable of believing in hell. I believe in mercy. I believe in forgiveness. I believe that if a higher supreme being is all these things, how could [s]he possibly permit any of her painstakingly hand-embroidered souls to 'burn' so-to-speak for "eternity." Couple days maybe to torture us back to the straight and narrow path, but forever?
F*ck that. I don't buy it.

Hell is only a state of mind. Some people find it here on earth before they ever even cross over to the other side... I'm not convinced that God has a lot to do with it.

I agree. I'm also Jewish and we are brought up not to believe in hell.

for my money, it's a lot easier to just believe that if there is an omnipotent being, it has a lot better things to do than worry about what i'm doing down here.

The Lord tells me that there is a special place in Hell for women from Quebec who don't shave.

So, is this how it works?
-----
You drive down to the "Deity Depot" and pick out the attributes you like from the shelves leaving the 'yucky' attributes in their bin. Next you pick and choose which laws and morals fit your new Deity best.
Finally you choose whether your deity exists beyond death and affix any additional post-mortem processes to it.
----
I don't buy that.
As long as there is no physical evidence and the existence of any deity is based solely on Faith, yes, ix, that is exactly what you do.
