You better not say the profits are going to you. You should say they're going to a "worthy cause." That sounds much better. :P

And you also probably win the reward for the most time spent playing BoE and designing scenarios.

But yeah, I haven't delved into hardly any of your scenarios, mostly because I'm not allowed to play them, if you remember. :(

I know what you mean, SS. It's an uncontrollable frantic search for something to post, isn't it? :P

Also, I think Alo should get a custom title when he gets to 10,000, or maybe a general title should be made for someone with 10k+ posts.

Purgatory is just a hopeful dwelling for people who didn't make it to heaven.

TM, I probably wouldn't have posted if he would have said no [believe it or not]. Saying he was probably in hell would not put a good light on this thread, since we're honoring and not degrading (well, most of us).

I don't see any point in comparing the pope to a hideous whateveritis. That said, I do think ADoS looks good in a pope suit, but he's not the pope after all. Too wrinkled hands for a young boy. :P

Ooh, yikes, I read Alo's post wrong when I made that 15 account prediction. If it had been 100 billion, as I first thought the post said, my estimate would be much closer to accurate.

Sorry.

Oh, but Alo, I would like to mention that the "Click here to look up member #1" link has a UBB typo and doesn't work. This is what you were meaning.

Alo, I just don't see how science can explain anything that it not detectable to the five senses and that can be outside the universe.

Well, if the demo doesn't work, I wouldn't pay money for a game that doesn't work. ;)

Two things: one, I think you should try to redownload, and if it still doesn't work, check your Internet Options. Make sure the download finishes completely. Two, you should probably have posted this in tech support. Just so you know.

Science and religion are not the same thing. Science deals with exploring the universe we live in and our environment and figuring out how things work and how we can use them. Religion deals with the realm outside of and higher than the universe. It deals with our Creator, God, and the workings of the supernatural. Since humans are not supernatural, we can never fully understand what goes on in the supernatural realm, but we can pray to God and use the power he gives us to perform things from the supernatural.

These are what we call miracles. Sometimes, the miracles come directly from God and can be helped to happen through prayer. Sometimes, God bestows some of his power into some human and allows them to perform the miracle, but you must remember, God is the one actually performing the miracle through the human. Humans can't perform miracles on their own.

Now, we have discussed miracles before that, and basically, you say that all "miracles" can be explained by sceince. But that is an assumption based on the beleif that God doesn't exist. If you can prove to me that all miracles can be explained by science, I might be moved from my mindset.

Also, if you can prove that animals have this same kind of interaction with God, or any interaction with God for that matter, I might be moved to believe that animals in fact do have souls. However, there is no evidence that animals follow any type of religion, and I think their lives are operated purely by God-given instinct and earthly experiences, but they don't voluntarily follow God.

I have heard that the people that died before Jesus died on the cross did go to hell unless they had properly offered sacrifies for all of thier sins, which was very unlikely, if not impossible. However, I have also heard that we Jesus died, he gave everyone in hell a chance to accept him. This seems weird, unfair, and unlikely, and it really does. But that's what I've heard; it could very likely have been different, but no one will ever know.

Wow, Aran, you updated your list! Last time I looked it was only to 4100 and didn't include me. :(

Yes, MM, we are to 5000 and quickly closing in on 6000. And 9/10 of those will probably never post again.

If god were were perfect, he'd be happy without companionship. Also, why make us flawed so that we needed to be saved? Some say that god is benevolent and just. I just had a Sadr, where the 10th plauge was described, which was killing all Egyptian first born sons. They had nothing to do with the fact of Jewish enslavement. If god were just, he would have punished the Pharoh.
God was using this as a final sign that it was he who was performing these miracles and it would get worse if he didn't let the people go. This was finally bad enough that he consented.

All those firstborns got a just judgement: if they chose to believe in God, they made it to heaven quicker than all their longer-living peers. Now that's unfair. :P

Nuh-uh. They only age limit is when you become old enough to find out how to devote yourself to God.

Oh, and hawk king, your last post was tl/dr. If you would have used sentences, paragraphs, commas, capital letters and better grammar, I might have read it all. ;)

We should be growing and growing in our knowledge of God over the course of our whole life. It doesn't just come overnight. Only through prayer, reading the Bible, and devotion to God can you gain a good understand of how God works.

I doubt the universe will even be close to fully comprehensible by the Second Coming. I think the End Times are just around the corner. Humans are just simply uncapable of fully understanding God, however.

You soul is simply the essence of everything that remains of you when you die and move on into the afterlife, so you could say your spirit, since then you will lose your physical body to rot to dust while your spiritual body lives on.
This doesn't explain anything at all. What I asked was…

1. Do animals go to heaven or hell?

2. Do Christians believe animals have souls?

3. If animals don't have souls, what are the differences between our spirits and theirs?

4. If animals don't have souls, does that put them on the same level as plants in God's eyes?

5. What about us is our soul? Is it our thoughts, or feelings, or what?

Biblical quotes would be interesting if anyone knows of any.

1. I am of the disposition of no. It all depends on whether animals have a soul, and I just don't think they do. Humans are the ones that are created in God's own image and are the only species capable of advanced reasoning and in my opinion, even starting to capture the concept of a God.

2. I think some Christians do, but as I said I don't. It's mostly just a matter of opinion.

3. I usually call a spirit of a living thing a synonym for a soul. So I don't think animals even have spirits. Have you heard any stories about spirits of animals (and I mean animals, not werewolves or similar legendary specimens)? I'm sure you have heard about human "ghosts" however, which I think can be real as afterlife souls pay a visit to earth.

4. Pretty much.

5. Our interaction with God and the supernatural before and after death. Your soul is what goes to heaven or hell.
